Hosted by E. @ Local Bee Hunter’s Nook, #5OnMyTBR is a bookish meme where we talk about 5 books on our TBR on Mondays. You can learn more about it in E.’s original announcement or #5OnMyTBR page. This week’s prompt: Magic. Having a little magic in life makes dark times a little more bearable. Here are five indie LGBTQ+ books I already own that has magic in them. Click on the book cover for more info on Goodreads. Lady of Stone (A Pyradisté Adventure #0) by Barbara Ann Wright Publisher: Bold Strokes Books, September 15th 2020 Keywords: magic, royalties, romance, sapphic I have seen Wright in some wlw/lesfic virtual event but yet to read her works. This one is a prequel to one of her series and seems to be able to read as a standalone. The Four Profound Weaves (Birdverse) by R.B. Lemberg Publisher: Tachyon Publications, September 1st 2020 Keywords: magic, trans So many of my friends have written beautiful reviews of this novella that I realized I need to read it. It’s completely queer and the author is a bigender immigrant. Art is often inseparable from its creator and I cannot wait to see what this book brings. Thorn by Anna Burke Publisher: Bywater Books, January 29th 2019 Keywords: magic, Beauty and the Beast, retelling, romance, sapphic I think it being a sapphic retelling of Beauty and the Beast by Anna Burke already explains why it is on my TBR. A Pinch of Salt (The Towers of the Earth #0.1) by Nita Round Publisher: Pink Tea Books, January 10th 2020 Keywords: magic, pirate, warrior, steampunk, sapphic This is a novella prequel to a series my Goodreads friend Lex absolutely love. Her wonderful reviews have convinced me to try out the series—at least this prequel—and I’m pretty sure I am going to love it as well. The Falcon’s Heart by Diana Green Publisher: Birch Leaf Press, June 22nd 2020 Keywords: magic, royalty, sorcerer, romance, sapphic This is another book I totally got because of the aforementioned Lex and I’m sure the story… cannot be judged by its cover. Have you read any of these books? What are your #5OnMyTBR with magic? Comment what you think! For more of my reviews and other whatnots, follow my blog, Twitter, Instagram, and friend me on Goodreads.
