What We Read | June 2021

Friday, July 30, 2021

June was quite a short but hot (literally and figuratively) month and boy did we enjoy some hot reads this summer. There was a powerfully sensual Hades/Persephone retelling, a South Asian sapphic fantasy, 1920s murder mystery, moth-beast sexy times?, meet-cutes, royal rom-com and more. There's something for everyone. So get your beverage of choice ready, pull up a lounge chair and power up those e-readers and enjoy.

TL;DR: Lust At First Page is now a Drag Me Up/R.M. Virtues fan account. Drag Me Up is our favorite read so far this year, so when we say to pick yourself and friend up a copy, do it and thank me (but mostly R.M. Virtues themself) later. For Hades/Persephone lovers, trust us when we say you won't regret it.

What We Read | June 2020

How's everyone's summer going so far? Did y'all celebrate Pride in some way? We hope you're making the best of the summer season and staying safe as states open back up again this month! Please continue to wash your hands regularly - covid is still rampant, so don't let business re-openings let you put your guard down and potentially get you sick, or worse, risk someone else's life. And of course, cozy up to some hot romance books (and movies) as well. Make sure to bring a fan and a cool beverage to help you cool down. 😉
