"Feminist romance novels are everywhere. With so many options and so little time, sometimes it’s nice to have a list like this as a starting point. This is going to be a very fun list of delicious feminist romance books that you must pick up and read, but before all that, we must discuss the feminism of it all.
For the sake of this article, I am following Mikki Kendall’s approach to feminism in Hood Feminism. The idea is that committing to intersectional feminism that includes trans women, women of color, and disabled women means understanding feminist issues are inherently variable and not always immediately recognizable as feminist issues. Kendall explains, “A one-size-fits-all approach to feminism is damaging because it alienates the very people it is supposed to serve, without ever managing to support them” (3). So, while feminism is about the promotion of gender equality, that is just an element of feminism. The role of active feminists is to be aware that more than just a person’s gender impacts their access to rights and services. While I would also recommend reading bell hooks and other excellent feminist writers, I appreciate Kendall’s explanation here.
Feminist literary critics have also looked at how romance can talk about the complexities of feminist issues within their story framework. Avidly Reads Guilty Pleasures by Arielle Zibrak understands the ways romance novels are a source of feminine media culture some associate with shame and censure, reflecting that the Western world often diminishes feminine interests and pursuits. All that is to say, romances have been praised for centering feminist interests and issues like love, job security, equal partnership, and reproductive rights."

A couple weeks ago I was blessed with a reading copy of A Strange and Stubborn Endurance by Foz Meadows, and let me tell you, it should be on every fantasy lover’s TBR for this summer. This is a story about kind, sensible, competent people dealing with assassins and intrigues, about finding love in unexpected places, about healing and unlearning unconscious biases. The writing and the setting are both lush and to be sunk into. It’s a beautiful queer love story, full of gentleness, wonderfully escapist in general, and gave me serious Marvellous Light vibes the whole way through. It’s not without darkness—there’s a very notable rape early on, for instance—but gosh, I need people to read this just so I can squee about it with them.
Out July 26, 2022.

My dad unhauled a bunch of books before Christmas and let me have my pick of them. A pic of the full stack will be coming, probably in my February wrap-up, but I just had to share this one! Don’t have a date for it, but it was awarded to a technical school student in 1910.

The Wolf Den by Elodie Harper is a refreshing take on historical fiction. Not only is it set in Roman Pompeii rather than northwestern Europe in the 19th or 20th centuries, but it’s centered on enslaved sex workers and told in modern language. (No thou’s or attempts to mimic Latin here!) The author has done a great job of bringing the ancient world to life and making it feel nearer than it is.
The book focuses on Amara, born into a middle-class Greek family and sold into slavery after family tragedy. As she does her best to better her circumstances at any cost, we get not only a portrait of a living Roman city with its pubs, parties, clothing stores, food stalls, and everyday injustices, but also a wonderful sense of the friendships and competition within the brothel she works in. I loved seeing how the women there formed a community among themselves, and how they fit into the wider society (or didn’t). I got the real sense that Harper had not only delved deep into how Roman society would’ve worked at the street level, but had done her diligence regarding the lives of (modern) sex workers too.
I also thought that Harper did a good job portraying the characters as complex, fallible, and human. She gives her female characters, especially Amara, the full range of emotions and all are believably imperfect. The worst of the men get sympathetic moments and the best of them, damning ones. They all feel of their time too—relatable or familiar, but also holding attitudes and beliefs that remind you this isn’t a modern story. (For instance, it’s clear that Amara knows slavery sucks for all enslaved people, but she never quite questions why slavery is even a thing.)
All in all, reading this felt like reading about real people leading real lives much more often than it felt like reading a novel. It’s a slowish read that feels at times like it’s digressing or offering up set pieces of Pompeiian life, but those moments all get woven back in neatly by the end. (It’s also slowish because of emotional drain. I couldn’t binge-read because bad things kept happening.) I found the ethical dilemmas compelling, though—if you’d damned no matter what, what’s the right option?—and enjoyed both how Harper told this story and woven in her themes and critiques. It’s definitely been one of the highlights of my reading month and I hope it gets a lot of attention once it’s out.
Note: while this book is definitely pro-sex work and has a lot of sympathy for those who find themselves forced into that life or exploited, it’s still set within an incredibly misogynistic society that saw no problem with degrading or harming women. If harassment, issues with consent or boundaries, or sexual violence are things you don’t want to read about, this might not be the book for you. They’re rarely graphic, but definitely prevalent.

My #1 post of 2022
Hello! I saw your 2022 Release TBR come across my dash, and I don't know if the Pride flags are to denote that the author or that the book itself is queer, but in either case, Seanan McGuire can absolutely have a flag :-)
Thanks! The flags are to denote queer characters here, not queer authors (for brevity and minimal confusion). I'm trying to be responsible and not put flags on books I'm not 100% sure of. For instance, I know Where the Drowned Girls Go is Cora's book, but I don't remember if Cora is canonically queer? Same goes for the characters in Seasonal Fears and for Alice in Spelunking Through Hell. If they're confirmed, I'll be adding that flag during my wrap-up, for sure.

It's the end of the year, and it's time to tally up what books I read throughout 2022.
I did something a little different this year while trying to remember what I read - I created and filled out a bingo card, doodling miniature versions of the book covers as I went along. It was fun, and it helped me keep track of what I read and decide what I wanted to read next.
Over the year 2022, I read:
“A Series of Unfortunate Events” by Lemony Snicket - “The Bad Beginning”
“Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” by Ransom Riggs
"Hidden Treasures" by Michelle Adams
"To the River's End" by William W. Johnstone
"Carolina Built" by Kianna Alexander
"Faraway Collection" - "The Cleaners" by Ken Liu
"Great Folk Tales of Old Ireland" by Mary McGarry
"Five Nights at Freddy's: Fazbear Frights" by Scott Cawthon, et al - "Into the Pit" - "Fetch" - "1:35 AM" - "Step Closer" - "Bunny Call" - "Blackbird" - "The Cliffs" - "Gumdrop Angel" - "The Puppet Carver" - "Friendly Face" - "Prankster"
"Corfu Trilogy" by Gerald Durrell - "My Family and Other Animals"
"Pooh and the Philosophers" by John Tyerman Williams
"Glass Immortals" by Brian McClellan - "In the Shadow of Lightning"
"Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku" by Fujita - Volume 3 - Volume 4 - Volume 5 - Volume 6
"Soul Eater" by Atsushi Ohkubo - "Perfect Edition 02"
"Spider-Man/Fantastic Four" by Christos Gage
"Venom: Lethal Protector" by Mike Costa - "Blood in the Water"
"X-men/Avengers: Gammy Quest Trilogy" by Greg Cox - "Friend or Foe?"
"The Doll Scene: An International Collection of Crazy, Cool, Custom-Designed Dolls" by Louis Bou
"The Poems of Edgar Allan Poe" by Edgar Allan Poe
.
.
Most of these were books I'd never read before (I think I only re-read three books in total). A lot of these were outside of my usual comfort zone, so it was a learning experience for me to read through them.
