A hilarious and sexy romance about a woman who gets dropped on a strange planet only to fall for not one, but two, aliens, from the author of I Got Drunk and Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf.
Dorothy Valentine is close to getting her PhD in wildlife biology when she’s attacked by a lion. On the bright side, she’s saved! On the not-so-bright side, it’s because they’re abducted by aliens. In her scramble to escape, Dory and the lion commandeer an escape pod and crash-land on an alien planet that has...dinosaurs?
Dory and her new lion bestie, Toto, are saved in the nick of time by a mysterious and sexy alien, Sol. On their new adventure, they team up with the equally hot, equally dangerous Lok, who may or may not be a war criminal. Whether it be trauma, fate, or intrigue, Dory can’t resist the attraction that’s developing in their trio.
As this ragtag group of misfits explore their new planet, Dory learns more about how and why they’ve all ended up together, battles more prehistoric creatures than she imagined (she imagined...zero), and questions if she even wants to go back home to Earth in this hilarious and steamy alien romance adventure comedy romp.

\ \ \ \ JANUARY: THE MAID & THE CROCODILE\ \ In the magic-soaked capital city of Oluwan, Small Sade needs a job - preferably as a maid, with employers who don't mind her unique appearance and unlucky foot. But before she can be hired, she accidentally binds herself to a powerful being known only as the Crocodile, a god rumoured to devour pretty girls. Small Sade entrances the Crocodile with her she is a Curse Eater, gifted with the ability to alter people's fates by cleaning their houses.\ \ The handsome god warns that their fates are bound, but Small Sade evades him, launching herself into a new career as the Curse Eater of a swanky inn. She is determined to impress the wealthy inhabitants and earn her place in Oluwan City . . . assuming her secret-filled past - and the revolutionary ambitions of the Crocodile - don't catch up with her.\ \ But maybe there is more to Small Sade. And maybe everyone in Oluwan City deserves more too - from the maids all the way to the Anointed Ones.\ \ \ \ FEBRUARY: THE ORNITHOLOGIST'S FIELD GUIDE TO LOVE\ \ Rival ornithologists hunt through England for a rare magical bird in this historical-fantasy rom-com reminiscent of Indiana Jones but with manners, tea, and helicopter parasols.\ \ Beth Pickering is on the verge of finally capturing the rare deathwhistler bird when Professor Devon Lockley swoops in, capturing both her bird and her imagination like a villain. Albeit a handsome and charming villain, but that's beside the point. As someone highly educated in the ruthless discipline of ornithology, Beth knows trouble when she sees it, and she is determined to keep her distance from Devon.\ \ For his part, Devon has never been more smitten than when he first set eyes on Professor Beth Pickering. She's so pretty, so polite, so capable of bringing down a fiery, deadly bird using only her wits. In other words, an angel. Devon understands he must not get close to her, however, since they're professional rivals.\ \ When a competition to become Birder of the Year by capturing an endangered caladrius bird is announced, Beth and Devon are forced to team up to have any chance of winning. Now keeping their distance becomes a question of one bed or two. But they must take the risk, because fowl play is afoot, and they can't trust anyone else—for all may be fair in love and war, but this is ornithology.\ \ \ \ MARCH: SWORDHEART\ \ Halla has unexpectedly inherited the estate of a wealthy uncle. Unfortunately, she is also saddled with money-hungry relatives full of devious plans for how to wrest the inheritance away from her.\ \ While locked in her bedroom, Halla inspects the ancient sword that's been collecting dust on the wall since before she moved in. Out of desperation, she unsheathes it—and suddenly a man appears. His name is Sarkis, he tells her, and he is an immortal warrior trapped in a prison of enchanted steel.\ \ Sarkis is sworn to protect whoever wields the sword, and for Halla—a most unusual wielder—he finds himself fending off not grand armies and deadly assassins but instead everything from kindly-seeming bandits to roving inquisitors to her own in-laws. But as Halla and Sarkis grow closer, they overlook the biggest threat of all—the sword itself.\ \ \ \ APRIL: I GOT ABDUCTED BY AN ALIEN AND NOW I'M TRAPPED IN A ROM-COM\ \ Dorothy Valentine is close to getting her PhD in wildlife biology when she’s attacked by a lion. On the bright side, she’s saved! On the not-so-bright side, it’s because they’re abducted by aliens. In her scramble to escape, Dory and the lion commandeer an escape pod and crash-land on an alien planet that has...dinosaurs?\ \ Dory and her new lion bestie, Toto, are saved in the nick of time by a mysterious and sexy alien, Sol. On their new adventure, they team up with the equally hot, equally dangerous Lok, who may or may not be a war criminal. Whether it be trauma, fate, or intrigue, Dory can’t resist the attraction that’s developing in their trio....\ \ As this ragtag group of misfits explore their new planet, Dory learns more about how and why they’ve all ended up together, battles more prehistoric creatures than she imagined (she imagined...zero), and questions if she even wants to go back home to Earth in this hilarious and steamy alien romance adventure comedy romp.\ \ \ \ MAY: THE HALFLING'S HARVEST\ \ For most halflings, the annual harvest festival is a time to revel in life's simple pleasures—hearty feasts, flowing wine, and warm hospitality. But for Marigold Bramblefoot, owner of the Dew Drop Inn and Vineyard, it’s the busiest—and most stressful—time of the year.\ \ Juggling an inn full of quirky guests, preparing for the bustling festivities, and managing her vineyard would be enough to overwhelm anyone. But Marigold has her sights set on something bigger: winning first place in the annual wine competition and finally stepping out of her father’s shadow.\ \ The only problem? Her rival, Darkroot Cellars, has dominated the competition for a decade thanks to the druidic magic behind their wines.\ \ With her hands full and her heart set on success, Marigold must balance the chaos of the festival, a budding romance, and unraveling the vineyard's hidden mysteries, all while discovering what it truly means to craft her own legacy. Because in Willowbrook, the harvest festival is more than a celebration—it’s a season for transformation, and Marigold’s is long overdue.\ \ \ \ JUNE: SCORCERY & SMALL MAGICS\ \ Leovander Loveage is a master of small magics.\ \ He can summon butterflies with a song, or turn someone’s hair pink by snapping his fingers. Such minor charms don’t earn him much admiration from other sorcerers (or his father), but anything more elaborate always blows up in his face. Which is why Leo vowed years ago to never again write powerful magic.\ \ That is, until a mix-up involving a forbidden spell binds Leo to obey the commands of his longtime nemesis, Sebastian Grimm. Grimm is Leo’s complete opposite—respected, exceptionally talented, and an absolutely insufferable curmudgeon. The only thing they agree on is that getting caught using forbidden magic would mean the end of their careers. They need a counterspell, and fast. But Grimm casts spells, he doesn’t undo them, and Leo doesn’t mess with powerful magic.\ \ Chasing rumors of a powerful sorcerer with a knack for undoing curses, Leo and Grimm enter the Unquiet Wood, a forest infested with murderous monsters and dangerous outlaws alike. To dissolve the curse, they’ll have to uncover the true depths of Leo’s magic, set aside their long-standing rivalry, and—much to their horror—work together.\ \ Even as an odd spark of attraction flares between them.\ \ \ \ JULY: FOR WHOM THE BELLE TOLLS\ \ Lily isn’t exactly thrilled with her arrival in the Afterlife, but what awaits her there is more fantastical than she ever could have imagined: Deities wait in line at the coffee shop. Fae flit between realms. Souls find ways to make death a beginning.\ \ As she explores the many corners of the Afterlife, Lily finds herself surprisingly drawn to a place most people would avoid at all costs: Hell. Armed with years of customer service experience and pent-up sarcasm, Lily carves a job out for herself amongst Hell’s demons, sending souls to their rightful circles with more than a hint of sass.\ \ Lily’s expectations are subverted every day in Hell—especially by Bel, a demon general with a distractingly sexy voice. The two meet by chance and form an immediate, deeply healing friendship, but the undeniable heat between them threatens to combust.\ \ Meanwhile, something stirs beyond the boundaries of their world, threatening to destroy everything they’ve known and everything that could be…unless they fight like Hell to stop it.\ \ This debut novel from BookTok sensation Jaysea Lynn invites you to lose yourself in a world where love ignites in the unlikeliest of places, magic defies the rules, and the Afterlife proves more thrilling than anyone could imagine.\ \ \ \ AUGUST: A WITCH'S GUIDE TO MAGICAL INNKEEPING\ \ An enchanting novel about a witch who has a second chance to get her magical powers—and her life—back on track, from the national bestselling author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches .\ \ Sera Swan was once one of the most powerful witches in Britain. Then she resurrected her great-aunt Jasmine from the (very recently) dead, lost most of her magic, befriended a semi-villainous talking fox, and was exiled from her magical Guild. Now she (slightly reluctantly and just a bit grumpily) helps Aunt Jasmine run an inn in Lancashire, where she deals with her quirky guests' shenanigans, tries to keep the talking fox in check, and longs for the magical future she lost.\ \ When she learns about an old spellbook that holds the secret to restoring her power, she turns to Luke Larsen, a gorgeous historian who might just be able to help her unlock the book’s mysteries. Luke, who has his own reasons for staying at the inn, never planned on getting involved in the madcap goings-on around him and certainly had no intention of letting certain grumpy innkeepers past his icy walls, so no one is more surprised than he is when he not only agrees to help, but also finds himself thawing .\ \ Running an inn, reclaiming lost magic, and staying one step ahead of the watchful Guild is a lot for anyone, but Sera is about to discover that she doesn’t have to do it alone... and that the weird, wonderful family she’s made might be the best magic of all.\ \ \ \ SEPTEMBER: THE ENCHANTED GREENHOUSE\ \ Terlu Perna broke the law because she was lonely. She cast a spell and created a magically sentient spider plant. As punishment, she was turned into a wooden statue and tucked away into an alcove in the North Reading Room of the Great Library of Alyssium.\ \ This should have been the end of her story . . . Yet one day, Terlu wakes in the cold of winter on a nearly-deserted island full of hundreds of magical greenhouses. She’s starving and freezing, and the only other human on the island is a grumpy gardener. To her surprise, he offers Terlu a place to sleep, clean clothes, and freshly baked honey cakes—at least until she’s ready to sail home.\ \ But Terlu can’t return home and doesn’t want to—the greenhouses are a dream come true, each more wondrous than the next. When she learns that the magic that sustains them is failing—causing the death of everything within them—Terlu knows she must help. Even if that means breaking the law again.\ \ This time, though, she isn’t alone. Assisted by the gardener and a sentient rose, Terlu must unravel the secrets of a long-dead sorcerer if she wants to save the island—and have a fresh chance at happiness and love.\ \ \ \ OCTOBER: THE GHOSTS OF ROSE HILL\ \ Sent to stay with her aunt in Prague and witness the humble life of an artist, Ilana Lopez—a biracial Jewish girl—finds herself torn between her dream of becoming a violinist and her immigrant parents’ desire for her to pursue a more stable career.\ \ When she discovers a forgotten Jewish cemetery behind her aunt’s cottage, she meets the ghost of a kindhearted boy named Benjamin, who died over a century ago. As Ilana restores Benjamin’s grave, he introduces her to the enchanted side of Prague, where ghosts walk the streets and their kisses have warmth.\ \ But Benjamin isn't the only one interested in Ilana. Rudolph Wassermann, a man with no shadow, has become fascinated with her and the music she plays. He offers to share his magic, so Ilana can be with Benjamin and pursue her passion for violin. But after Ilana discovers the truth about Wassermann and how Benjamin became bound to the city, she resolves to save the boy she loves, even if it means losing him—forever.\ \ A love letter to Latin American and Jewish diasporas, based on the author's experiences working to maintain Jewish cemeteries in Eastern Europe. The Ghosts of Rose Hill is a tender and empowering read that you will devour in one sitting. Steeped in history and the experiences of immigrant families, especially Jewish families, each carefully-chosen word of this magical verse novel casts a spell.\ \ \ \ NOVEMBER: RECIPES FOR AN UNEXPECTED AFTERLIFE\ \ Rottgor is worn out. Literally. Barely held together by dark magic, he has protected the Necropolis for centuries. When he’s forced into retirement, he’s faced with a new to forge a future guided not by obligation, but by passion.\ \ Following his heart (and stomach), he decides to open a restaurant where the city’s undead and living residents can share food and community. He’s helped in his quest by an unlikely assortment of neighbors, including elves, skeletons, vampires—and a young orphan girl named Astra, whose ancestry, if discovered, could put her and the entire Necropolis in danger. To protect Astra and the life he’s building, Rottgor must face his past and form new alliances built on friendship, loyalty, and love. As comforting as warm pumpkin bread, this gentle fantasy traces how even a dark history can rise into a bright future.\ \ \ \ DECEMBER: BRIGANDS & BREADKNIVES\ \ Fern has weathered the stillness and storms of a bookseller’s life for decades, but now, in the face of crippling ennui, transplants herself to the city of Thune to hang out her shingle beside a long-absent friend’s coffee shop. What could be a better pairing? Surely a charming renovation montage will cure what ails her!\ \ If only things were so simple…\ \ It turns out that fixing your life isn’t a one-time prospect, nor as easy as a change of scenery and a lick of paint.\ \ A drunken and desperate night sees the rattkin waking far from home in the company of a legendary warrior surviving on inertia, an imprisoned chaos-goblin with a fondness for silverware, and an absolutely thumping hangover.\ \ As together they fend off a rogue’s gallery of ne’er-do-wells trying to claim the bounty the goblin represents, Fern may finally reconnect with the person she actually is when there isn’t a job to get in the way.](https://cozyquill.binderybooks.com/item/SXvI8XIDHVBUeXDjIGUn/)

\ \ Whenever I'm feeling hopeless, I try to to find something to look forward to like a get together with my friends or a new book. Since my friends and I haven't been able to hangout consistently for a bit, I've been leaning more into purchasing books from bookshops like SteamyLit and websites like Bookshop.org and Thriftbooks. I also won a giveaway! Here are the books I got recently:\ \ Be a Revolution: How Everyday People Are Fighting Oppression and Changing the World—and How You Can, Too by Ijeoma Oluo \ \ This title is self-explanatory. My hope is that this will give me strength. Oluo is also great writer and storyteller! I enjoyed her other books So You Want To Talk About Race and Mediocre, so I'm sure I'll love this one.\ \ Star Child: A Biographical Constellation of Octavia Estelle Butler by Ibi Zoboi \ \ As a lover of all things Octavia E. Butler, this purchase was a no-brainer! Ibi Zoboi weaves poetry, short essays, and primary sources in this small package. I'll likely be reading this book before the end of March.\ \ I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I'm Trapped in a Rom-Com by Kimberly Lemming \ \ I have read and love just about every book by Kimberly Lemming! In fact, I read the arc for this once back in January and have been singing its praises ever since. When I finally had a little cash to spend, I knew I wanted my own copy of this hilariously ridiculous and hot story.\ \ We Refuse: A Forceful History of Black Resistance by Kellie Carter Jackson \ \ Last month, I attended a Black History event where Kellie spoke about her book and historical heroes which spurred me to purchase her book. As with Oluo's book, I'm hoping this will give me strength and maybe help me work through my own anxieties about our time.\ \ Destiny's Embrace by Beverly Jenkins \ \ Whenever I'm looking for Black joy, I find Beverly Jenkins's books especially suited to my needs. As I Black Latina, I'm often seen as "resilient" and "strong," which can get tiring when all I want is to be given grace and comfort. So here's to self-care!\ \ Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor \ \ I've been hearing a lot of great things about this book! Okorafor's website describes it as "a book-within-a-book that blends the line between writing and being written, Death of the Author is a masterpiece of metafiction." All of that sounds intriguing as hell to me!\ \ Blood & Brujas by Mikayla D. Hornedo \ \ My girl, Carla (@carla_is_reading) has been raving about this book and when I saw the special edition pop up on SteamyLit's website, I was sold. From what I've learned, this is a sapphic fantasy packed with brujas (of course), vampires, and intrigue. Yes, please!\ \ We Belong: an All-Black/All-Queer Sci-fi/Fantasy Comics Anthology edited by William O. Tyler and Viktor T. Kerney \ \ Once again, I was influenced! Fareeha of @fairlyoddfareeha recommended this book on her YouTube shorts dedicated to Black Queer Comics and I knew I had to check it out. Follow her on Bindery here: https://fairlyqueer.binderybooks.com/about/\\ \ Purchase here: https://stackeddeckpress.com/product/we-belong-the-all-black-all-lgbtq-sci-fi-and-fantasy-comics-anthology/\\ \ Black Apocalypse: Afrofuturism at The End of the World by Tavia Nyong'o \ \ I'll be honest, I don't fully remember how I stumbled upon this book. The title grabbed my attention and so did this description: " Juxtaposing the world-building of afrofuturism and the world-negating of afropessimism to show how both movements have offered us critical resources of hope." Since I've been struggling with pushing myself out of the pessimism that's been sticking to me since last fall, I feel like this might bring me out.\ \ Las Leonas Series by Adriana Herrera \ \ I won this gorgeous set of books in a giveaway and I'm in love. Adriana is one of my favorite authors of all time and this series solidified that for me. It's wonderful to have the full set of the new covers since my copies of the first two books don't match. She also sent me the original art for each of the covers, which was so damn sweet of her!!\ \ I'm extremely grateful to have been able to purchase and/or receive these books. I feel a sense of pride having them and know that they will all bring me wisdom.\ \ Join for free or login](https://bookish-afrolatina.binderybooks.com/item/v3vfaU9H7SymEs0CuQm3/)
