Keeping Adalyne

Len Beeson

Years have passed, but time hasn’t dulled the pull between them. Adalyne has built a quiet, steady life far from the chaos of her past. The world no longer feels like a battlefield—until Jazmin Valencia walks back into it. A chance encounter forces open old doors neither of them were ready to face, and suddenly Adalyne is no longer the girl who ran, nor the woman who could ever forget. Jazmin has her own ghosts to reckon with—years defined by sacrifice, guilt, and the haunting memory of the wife she let go. When circumstances bring them together again, the distance between who they were and who they’ve become feels impossible to cross. Yet, in every conversation, in every lingering glance, the truth resurfaces: love has always been the one thing they couldn’t unlearn. Now, with the past threatening to reclaim them and the future uncertain, Adalyne and Jazmin must decide if love can survive not just separation, but transformation. To find their way back to each other, they will have to face the hardest question of all—can two broken hearts learn to beat as one again?

Being Adalyne

Len Beeson

She has freedom at last—but freedom doesn’t mean forgetting. Adalyne should feel liberated. After breaking away from the crushing grip of her family’s cult and the marriage of convenience that bound her to Jazmin Valencia, she finally has the life she once only dreamed of: her own choices, her own body, her own future. But independence is lonelier than she imagined. Navigating a world of possibility—women who adore her, nights filled with promise, and a heart desperate to belong—Adalyne discovers that freedom also means facing the ache she cannot outrun. Because no matter how many arms she finds herself in, one truth remains: she is still married to Jazmin, the woman who both saved and shattered her. Caught between the lure of new beginnings and the ghost of a love that refuses to fade, Adalyne must confront a question she has long avoided: can she truly become her own if her heart has never stopped belonging to someone else?

Songs of the Wolf and Moon

Miyuki Shiraishi

From the first thaw to the last frost, a lesbian Japanese poet traces love’s small rituals and the wild answering call of forest, tide, and sky. Divided into Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, the collection follows a year’s turning—under moonlight and the watch of winter wolves, through spring rain and summer heat—gathering moments of body and spirit, hunger and return, grief and renewal. For readers drawn to contemporary queer poetry, to minimalist lyric and the intimacy of nature, Songs of the Wolf and Moon offers brief pieces to savor in one sitting or wander back to. Its themes span sapphic love and longing, Japanese place and sensibility, wilderness and weather, memory and ritual, until the year closes like a hand cupping flame—warm, certain, alive in the dark.

A Scary Halloween Romance... Most Likely

Shay H-K Zayit

When Alma Peretz, freshly graduated from college and reluctantly back in her quirky Florida hometown, bumps into the last person she ever wanted to see—her high school English teacher and unrequited crush, Rachel Adler—her plan to quietly rebuild her life starts to unravel like a poorly carved jack-o’-lantern. Alma has never quite lived down the sting of confessing her feelings to Rachel on the last day of senior year, only to be gently but firmly turned away. Now, in a small city where everyone knows everyone, avoiding her is almost impossible. The coffee shop, the bar, even the corner store seems haunted by Rachel’s presence. When her old best friend dares her to finally face the town’s infamous tradition—spending one night in the supposedly haunted Harrington House, a rite of passage she’d always chickened out of—Alma reluctantly agrees. After all, she’s determined to shed her fears and start fresh. But when she shows up at the doorstep with shaking hands, she finds Rachel already there… confessing she never braved the house either. Forced to endure creaking floors, flickering candles, and maybe more than one mischievous ghost, Alma and Rachel must spend the night confronting both the supernatural and the unspoken tension between them. Alma might realize the only thing more terrifying than Harrington House is risking her heart again. And this time, Rachel might just be ready to meet her halfway.

Orlando

Virginia Woolf

Originally published in 1928, Orlando, one of Virginia Woolf’s better-known novels, provides a splendid example of Modernist experimentation with genre and storytelling. Orlando is a young Elizabethan nobleman who loves writing poetry as much as he does hunting, wrestling with the household dogs, and indulging in a fine night’s carouse. After being favored by Queen Elizabeth herself, he falls tragically in love. But as he nurses a decades-long heartbreak, Orlando realizes that poetry provides little solace. Sometime in the eighteenth century he escapes England as an ambassador to Turkey, where after a mysterious illness he awakens as a woman—but still not a published author. While the arts of reading, writing, criticism expand, Orlando’s poetic aspirations remain frustrated until the twentieth century, when, having returned to England, she finds love, life, and her voice at last. On its surface the biography of a fantastic Elizabethan nobleman, the novel is frequently described as a love letter to Vita Sackville-West, who had a lengthy affair with Woolf in the early 1920s and whose family history undergirds much of the detail of Orlando’s life and home. Orlando also features Woolf’s masterful stream of consciousness technique, employed metafictionally as Orlando and the narrator compose in tandem the novel’s intricate final chapter. Most importantly, Orlando’s absurd fantasy is underpinned by wit and humor: Orlando is a comic—sometimes satirical—text, revealing a side of Woolf rarely seen in her earlier work. A lighthearted romp of a book, Orlando remains resolutely literary and asks lingering questions about the construction of gender, the intersection between “the spirit of the age” and artistic creation, and what loving another person really means. Woolf was one of the most important Modernist writers, and Orlando reveals her at her playful, shimmering—dare we say sexy?—best.
