Review: The Queer Principles of Kit Webb

Y’allllll, this was so good! The characters were interesting, the romance was spicy! I didn’t want to put it down! And! I got to do something I don’t often get to do! And that is enjoy a book so much while I am visiting my sister that I finish it and then leave it with her!

Okay, so this is the story of Kit Webb, retired Highway man and current coffee shop owner/manager and Percy, Lord Holland. Percy has a secret that he’s decided he doesn’t want to keep, but first he needs Kit’s help with a robbery. Of course, Kit is not at all interested. So, Percy decides the only thing for it is to annoy Kit into helping him by turning up at his coffee shop over and over. There is word play. There is sword play. There are feels. There is adventure. I loved this so much. Can I gush about it some more? Okay, I will. The conclusion was so sweet, I made Beth go to a bookstore to pick up the second in the series because I couldn’t put it down.

So, if you like sassy word play, not-really-enemies to lovers, adventure, and sweet, sweet romance, I recommend this.

Unhauling: Finding my next read

One of the hacks I mentioned in my previous post was to read the first page or so and see what grabs me. I don’t really have a pile of ‘what to read next’, but as I went through my shelves I started pulling one or two from the book cases. I added these to pile near my bed (one of a few). I thought if I narrowed it down to 6-7, that should make it easier to find where I want to head next.

I’ve got one non-fiction in the stack, a memoir of living in the Netherlands. I’ve got some booktok recs, Ice Planet Barbarians and The Queer Principles of Kit Webb. One historical romance (Mine till Midnight), one that’s maybe about demons and evil kings (Carnival of Souls), one about the West and riding horses and doing jobs stealing stuff (The Sisters Brothers) and one that’s maybe about vampires (The Beautiful)? (It is tough to say from the first page, so some of these are guesses. ) Part of me is leaning towards Kit Webb, as it is Pride Month, and part of me is leaning towards the second installment of Ice Planet Barbarians.

I think I’ve had the Sisters Brothers longest, but Mine til Midnight is the oldest. This was supposed to make it easier, having an actual TBR pile, but I don’t think it is.

What would you read next? How do structure your TBR pile? Sound off in the comments!
