I believe so!! I think I remember reading it in the afterward of the book? Maybe?? But I feel like it was to be about the bar / the specific bartender we saw for like, one scene? Totally excited for it, however it turns out!!

Overall, I loved the books I read this month!! There are so many fantastic stories, and I would recommend all of them!!

"Midlife is the Cat's Meow" by Miranda MacLeod and T.B. Markinson. As with "A Curious Woman," the small town mystery aspect really got me!! I sincerely hope a sequel is in the works, as I long to return to this world!!

"Shaken to the Core" by Jae. Honestly, can never go wrong with Jae! This month I read / listened to a number of her books I had never touched before, and I am so glad I did!! This was my favorite of the bunch—disasters always reduce me to tears, and this book shall stick with me.

"Not in the Plan" by Dana Hawkins. One of few print books (well, I suppose it was on Kindle, but still) I read this month! It was so good, and I cannot wait to read the sequel!!

"The Dating Show" by Violet Morley. I just adore Violet Morley's books!! I feel they are so underrated in sapphic fiction / romance circles!! Truly wonderful.

"This is How You Lose the Time War" by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. Need I say more than I loved this? Everyone should read it.

"Spear" by Nicola Griffith. Arthurian retellings get me, especially sapphic ones!! I was enthralled throughout, and the audiobook was absolutely incredible!

"A Curious Woman" by Jess Lea. I loved the small town cozy-ish mystery aspect!! It was just so much fun, and the stakes never felt earth-shattering. It was easy to relax and enjoy the blossoming romance while simultaneously unfolding the mystery!!

(Cross-posted from the bird app) I was so close to 49, but alas, I was unable to complete the final two!! I know I still have three hours till the end of the month (in my time zone), but I have a rather unfortunate headache making reading impossible. Some favorites included in thread:

Monthly reading - Page II. 5 book covers.

This is totally valid though!! So much of our society pushes hustling at all times—while working, during your down time, whenever. If anything, it seems such external pressure would be the cause for feeling as if you are wasting time, rather than actually wasting time…maybe?

For some reason, this is so funny!! Have absolutely no concept of Falin’s character (only on episode four so far, and have not read the manga), but this is so hilarious!!

This is my version of an ugly Christmas sweater, only as a cat lover I think it's actually cute. The sweater even made it into my sapphic holiday romance novella "A Purrfect Gift"! If you read it, see if you can spot it! mybook.to/APG12
