I woke up to a bunch of messages and emails saying "congratulations," but it took me a few minutes to find out what I'd won: My sapphic shape-shifter romance "Shifting Nature" won a Goldie Award in the paranormal fiction category!
Thank you so much to all the judges & congratulations to all other winners and finalists.
A special shout-out to Ileandra Young, whose novel "Innocence of the Maiden" won in the same category too!

Queen of Faces (Petra Lord) – While the rich swap bodies like designer clothes, Anabelle Gage is trapped in a a basic-model male body that will kill her within a year. With the wait list for another body too late for her to live, her one hope is to get into the magical school, Paragon Academy, where the asshole rich kids there are all given a free body on admission. When she fails her third attempt at the entrance exam, she attempts to use her basic magic to steal a new body instead but is caught and given a way out by the school's headmaster: work for him as a mercenary assassin to take down the women leading a rebellion.
I have to say, I was caught off guard by exactly how good this got. I enjoyed the characters a lot and I felt quite invested in the world - or at least wanting someone to burn down the dickheads in charge. Maybe that's for personal reasons given how clear a lot of the parallels are. Some of the world building did come in a bit thick at the start, and the some story beats were telegraphed a little too loudly, but if you're wanting a magical world with an empathetic queer focus and rage at a corrupt elite, then this series will likely be your cup of tea.

Book 4 was The Shots You Take by Rachel Reid (narrated by Greg Boudreaux).
Two totally heterosexual hockey bros 🏒
And they were roommates 🛌
Hockey culture is basically indistinguishable from evangelicalism ✝ -

Lote (Shola von Reinhold) – After Mathilda discovers a photograph of a long lost Black modernist poet, Hermia Druitt, she is drawn into a fixation to uncover her life. Her investigation leads her to an arts residency in a small European town that is the antithesis of the luxurious excess Hermia lived for.
If you're into cults around artistic theory, uncovering institutionally erased black & queer history, and chaotic queer crime then this might be for you. I loved the characters as they spiral into their conspiracy, though I did find the pacing threw me off a few times. Very much a read for high energy as far as I find but it's an absolute gem of a book.

We Do What We Do in the Dark (Michelle Hart) – Mallory is the solitary, quiet soul who treasures the private yet craves connection. Through that she is drawn to a distant professor at her university referred to only as the woman - to name her would feel diminishing of her stature or a violation of the personal. Indeed the book feels like a confessional, delivered to a confidant alone in the quiet of the night. https://app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/dcb14541-f99c-4ae5-b49e-e46b2c0f7a96

This week’s Sapphic Book Bingo category features sapphic books with a supportive ex.
It’s a Hidden Gems category because we often encounter the “toxic ex” trope in sapphic romances, as an obstacle interfering with the main characters’ relationship. So it can feel really refreshing to read a book with an ex who’s actually supportive.
Check out the 15 recommended sapphic books on my website:

Johnny Appleseed (Joshua Whitehead) – An indigenous Two-Spirit 'glitterprincess', Johnny has a week to return home to the rez for a funeral. We follow as he recalls his youth on the reservation, the racism and queerphobia, his love for his grandmother, and his life as a cybersex worker.
It's a beautiful and pained portrait of a modern Two-Spirit love and desire; in many ways a familiar coming of age, in others a fresh insight on young indigiqueer culture.
