    22nd July 2020
    Cover of Blades of Bluegrass (D. Jackson Leigh)

    Blades of Bluegrass by D. Jackson Leigh

    • Publisher: Bold Strokes Books, August 11th 2020
    • Genre: Intrigue, Romance, LGBTQ+
    • Format: Paperback (eARC)
    • Page Count: 266 pages
    • My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)

About Me

Lí-hó!! I am Hsinju (they/she), a Taiwanese book blogger, writer, and full-time grad student in engineering. Here, I mainly review books featuring authentically represented LGBTQ+ characters and/or written by LGBTQ+ authors. You’d usually find me going about life with my heart stuck in the last book I finished.
