CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian I'm reading this! It's really great so far, set in the American civil war with an African American spy heroine with an eidetic memory! 7y
WOCreads @CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian Ooh I've seen the amazing cover around, but it's a romance right? How heavy is it on romance? Cause your summary sounds👌👌👌 7y
CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian @WOCreads It is a romance for sure! But I'd also say the other non-romance plot is equally important. 7y
WOCreads @CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian Thanks! Then I'll put it on my Try pile 😁 It does sound badass✊💜 7y
WomanistBibliophile I just read a book on the experience of Black women in Germany that was excellent and this one also looks intriguing 6y
