I’m sorry I’m so behind the power curve on getting this posted but I’ve had a sick kiddo and have thusly been recleanjng the whole house 5 times over. 🙃

Can you believe that What Feeds Below releases in October? I think because of the level of excitement around the book, it feels like release date is next week! I haven't had a lot of time to reflect on Bookcon because my day job has been so intense, but the response to What Feeds Below was incredible to see. We brought 50 arcs to give away. An hour before drop time there was over 100 people in line. I stayed around and handed out probably 100 bookmarks and 150-200 art cards. It was so incredible to see so many people excited for what I know is going to make a lot of people's top 10 lists!

We already have 300 ratings on Goodreads! I feel like that number is high for a book not coming out for several months (and no giveaways have been hosted YET (stay tuned). And the reviews have been overwhelmingly position (4.65 average!)

Last week Tatiana shared on Instagram her story about a Big 5 publisher rejecting What Feeds Below ON HER BIRTHDAY because they didn't know what to do with it.

Their loss (and the other publishers who rejected WFB) is definitely our gain!
And if there is one thing that I believe is that indie publishing, especially Bindery books, can rival the BIG 5 in reach and success and I would love to do everything in our power to help Tatiana hit a best seller list.

The immediate goal for us is to hit 1,000 preorders. I'm probably not supposed to tell you this, but I think it's important for you to know where our preorders stand and the work that needs to be completed, because I'd love to invite you to help Tatiana and I reach this goal.

We currently have 270 preorders. We need 730 more to hit 1,000 (I just used a calculator, I studied English, besties).

We've added preorder incentives if you haven't ordered yet: An 8x10 POSTER of the cover. (This cover is so freaking gorgeous!), a sticker and signed bookplate are available when you order from the following stores:

The Twisted Spine

Mysterious Galaxy

Prairie Lights (personalization available)

If you haven't preordered yet, please do soon! The more buzz around the book, the more likelihood this book will make lists and maybe even get the gorgeous special edition it deserves!

If you have preordered, please help us convince others to not wait until release day and to support the author today! Preorders are SO important for authors and they have been really down this year altogether! If you can spare it, now is the time!

Thank you all so much for supporting, sharing, reviewing! I love this community and how hard we work together for our authors!

Happy pub day!! This week’s releases had me bouncing between obsession, deep thinking, and a couple “hmm…we’re not quite there” moments 👀

We’ve got haunted libraries, ghost-filled cities, body autonomy conversations that will sit with you, and a few that didn’t fully stick the landing for me.

Let’s get into it.

🏛️ The Library After Dark

Read or skip: READ
Rating: 5 stars

This one?? I was addicted.

A haunted library. A private after-dark tour. Themed rooms. Poisoned books. Dark fairy tale interludes. A group of people trapped inside with secrets absolutely rotting beneath the surface.

Yes. Immediately yes.

I loved this author’s debut, You Are Fatally Invited, so my expectations were already high, and somehow this exceeded them.

What worked so well for me is that the library doesn’t just feel like a backdrop. It feels alive. Every room has its own atmosphere, every detail feels slightly cursed, and the entire time you’re wondering who is lying, who is dangerous, and what really happened before these characters ever walked through the doors.

This is the kind of locked-room thriller that understands atmosphere is not decoration. It’s the whole point.

Final thought: A twisty, immersive thriller for readers who love books about books, unreliable characters, and settings with teeth.

🪽 Enormous Wings

Read or skip: READ
Rating: 4.5 stars

This is the one I haven’t been able to shake.

On the surface, it’s about a seventy-seven-year-old woman who moves into a retirement community and then receives a shocking medical diagnosis: she’s pregnant.

But underneath that, this book is asking much harder questions about bodily autonomy, aging, dignity, motherhood, and who gets to make decisions when everyone thinks they know what’s best for you.

And somehow?? It balances all of that with warmth, humor, friendship, and found family.

Pepper is feisty, stubborn, funny, and deeply human. Watching her push back against the people and systems trying to speak for her instead of with her was empowering, but also deeply uncomfortable in the best way.

Because this book makes you sit with the line between care and control.

Final thought: A beautiful, timely, surprisingly funny story about agency, aging, family, and what happens when the world decides your body is up for debate.

🩸 I Know a Place

Read or skip: READ if you like horror, gore, and unhinged short fiction
Rating: 4 stars

Nat Cassidy said, “Let’s take a little detour,” and then immediately drove us straight into the weirdest, bloodiest, most cursed corners imaginable.

This collection is not what I would recommend as your first Nat Cassidy if you’re new to him. I still think his full-length novels are the better entry point. But if you already like his brain? This is such a solid collection.

There are gas stations from hell, creepy children, haunted spaces, ventriloquist dolls, cursed intimacy, body horror, religious horror, and stories that made me go: “I’m sorry…what did I just read?”

Not every story landed equally for me, which is pretty normal with collections, but the ones that worked really worked. My favorites leaned into that blend of wild concept, emotional undercurrent, and absolutely disgusting imagery.

And honestly? Sometimes you just need a book that is here to be gross, weird, and deeply unsettling.

Final thought: A strong horror collection for existing Nat Cassidy fans, especially if you like your horror bloody, bizarre, and emotionally sharper than expected.

👻 The Girl with a Thousand Faces

Read or skip: READ
Rating: 5 stars

This was haunting in the exact way I wanted it to be.

A historical gothic fantasy set in Hong Kong, full of ghosts, grief, memory, war trauma, and women who refuse to stay quiet? I was locked in.

The atmosphere here is stunning. Kowloon Walled City feels claustrophobic, haunted, and alive with history. Mercy Chan is a ghost-talker with a missing past, and as the story unfolds, it becomes less about simply defeating a spirit and more about confronting the pain everyone would rather bury.

And that’s where this book really got me.

The ghosts are terrifying, yes, but the human horrors underneath them are what linger. War. Grief. Survival. Generational trauma. The cost of forgetting. The cost of remembering.

This is gothic fantasy that feels layered, strange, and emotionally brutal in the best way.

Final thought: A ghost story with teeth, grief, and history pressing in from every side.

A Founding Mother

Read or skip: READ
Rating: 4.25 stars

I love when historical fiction reminds you that history was not just built by the men whose names ended up in bold print.

This book follows Abigail Adams during the early years of the American Revolution, and what I appreciated most was how much it centers her labor, intelligence, resilience, and voice.

Yes, she was married to John Adams. Yes, she became First Lady. But this story is much more interested in who she was before and around those titles: a mother, a farmer, a strategist, a woman managing a household during war and political upheaval, and someone brave enough to speak her mind when the world was not exactly eager to listen.

It’s informative without feeling dry, and timely in a way that really works with the 250th anniversary of the country coming up.

Also, the author’s notes? Must-read. I love when historical fiction gives you that extra context around what’s true, what’s imagined, and what had to be shaped for the story.

Final thought: A thoughtful, timely historical novel about a woman ahead of her time and the power behind the scenes of a nation being born.

✍️ Five Weeks in the Country

Read or skip: MAYBE READ
Rating: 3.5 stars

This one has such a distinct tone from the very beginning.

It’s quiet. Heavy. Melancholic. And honestly, a little uncomfortable in a way that feels very intentional.

The story imagines Hans Christian Andersen’s real-life visit to Charles Dickens’ home, and let’s just say… this is not exactly a cozy author sleepover. Andersen feels awkward, misplaced, and painfully aware that he doesn’t quite belong. Every interaction has this strained quality to it, like everyone is trying to be polite while also silently begging the visit to end.

What stood out most to me was Andersen himself. There’s this sadness to him, this uncertainty, like he can’t quite see his own worth or where he fits in the world.

And that part worked for me.

It’s not always the easiest read, and the tone may not be for everyone, but it does tap into something very human: that feeling of being out of place, even among people you admire.

Final thought: A quiet, character-driven historical novel for readers who like literary melancholy, emotional awkwardness, and imagined gaps in real history.

🔒 Payback

Read or skip: SKIP
Rating: 3 stars

This one had a premise that immediately hooked me.

A luxury weekend prison for the wealthy. Seven inmates. A dead guard. A storm. A murder mystery inside a facility where privilege still finds a way to make incarceration more comfortable.

That setup? Fascinating.

And learning about pay-to-stay prisons was genuinely one of the most interesting parts of the book. It’s one of those details where fiction and reality blur in a way that makes you pause.

But the story itself didn’t fully deliver for me.

There’s an early twist that makes a bold choice, but it also removes one of the most compelling pieces from the board too soon. After that, the book settled into something more familiar and predictable than I wanted.

I wanted more bite. More depth. More tension from such a strong concept.

Final thought: Interesting premise, but the execution felt too surface-level for me to fully recommend.

💻 A Zoom with a View

Read or skip: SKIP
Rating: 3 stars

This one is hard because I can see exactly what it was trying to do.

Small town. Messy relationships. A murder. A complicated mother-daughter dynamic. A love triangle. A snarky subreddit thread that honestly might have been my favorite part.

The ingredients were there.

But for me, it never fully came together.

The main character felt stuck in a level of emotional immaturity that made it hard for me to stay invested in her choices, and when a book is built around relationships, that disconnect really matters.

I also needed the ending to feel more resolved. Not perfectly wrapped up, but more satisfying than what we got.

That said, the subreddit element was genuinely fun, and I wish the book had leaned into that structure even more.

Final thought: A few clever pieces, but the emotional payoff wasn’t strong enough for me.

🍽️ Supper Club Saints

Rating: 5 stars

Oh this one?? This one got me.

The story opens with the youngest daughter returning home after disappearing for two years to join a cult-like “mommune,” and immediately you know this is going to dig into something deeper than just the surface-level drama.

And it does.

This is a multi-POV story following the women of the Simon family, and what I loved most is how much care the author gives to each of them. Every choice, every reaction, every complicated relationship, it all feels rooted in something real.

Motherhood is at the center of this story, but not in a soft, idealized way. It’s messy. It’s emotional. It’s shaped by trauma, expectations, generational patterns, and the constant pressure of trying to do better than what came before you… while still figuring out what “better” even means.

Cass’s time in the mommune is especially fascinating because you can see how manipulation works slowly, subtly. It doesn’t feel exaggerated. It feels believable. Which makes it hit even harder.

But what really stayed with me was the relationship between the sisters. Even while navigating their own struggles (infertility, identity, past wounds), they show up for each other in ways that feel honest and earned.

Final thought: A deeply emotional, beautifully written story about motherhood, identity, forgiveness, and the complicated ways women love each other.

Overall, this week had some serious standouts and a couple that didn’t quite hit—but the highs? Very high.

If you’re picking from this list, start with The Library After Dark or The Girl with a Thousand Faces… and if you’re feeling brave, I Know a Place is waiting for you 😈

As always, I want to know: what are you picking up first?

In my last post, I came to the defense of romance novels with research about how beneficial they are for relationship health based on what we can learn from them. I find that on tikotk the conversation about romance novels often starts in the wrong place.

It starts with a claim that these books are harmful. That they create unrealistic expectations. They they are damaging relationships.

That framing keeps the focus narrow. It treats readers as passive recipients of influence instead of active participants in meaning-making. It also misses what’s happening on a deeper level.

Romance is not only entertainment. It is a space where people practice identity.

People often rehearse parts of themselves in fiction before they claim them in real life. I talk about this often in my practice. Literature, especially romance books are a place where people can explore identity from a distance. Clients will describe a character, a dynamic, or a storyline with curiosity. They will explain what they love, what they want, what feels safe or unsafe. They often do this long before they can speak about those same needs directly.

That distance from reality matters.

Fiction provides a layer of separation that reduces risk. When something is framed as a story, you aren’t required to take ownership of it. You can engage, react, and reflect without feeling exposed. This creates a low-pressure environment for exploration, especially in areas shaped by shame, silence, or rigid expectations.

Romance, in particular, offers a structured space to explore gender roles, power, and desire.

Within the boundaries of a story, you can examine what it feels like to want something without having to act on it. You can observe different expressions of intimacy, communication, and conflict. You can witness power dynamics play out in ways that are negotiated, challenged, or redefined. You can see what mutual desire looks like when it is explicitly acknowledged.

These experiences don’t remain within the pages of books.

They create reference points.

When someone reads a scene where boundaries are respected, where communication is direct, or where desire is treated as valid, they are not only following a plot. They are absorbing a model. That model becomes something they can compare against their own experiences.

For individuals who were raised in environments that limited or distorted conversations about desire, this kind of exposure is significant. Many people were not given language for what they feel. They were taught what was acceptable, what was expected, and what should be avoided. Romance introduces variation. It presents alternatives.

This is where fantasy plays a critical role.

Fantasy creates distance from shame. It allows readers to engage with desire without immediately attaching judgment to it. Instead of asking “is this allowed,” the question shifts to “does this resonate.”

That shift changes the entire process.

Resonance invites curiosity. It encourages readers to notice their reactions rather than suppress them. Over time, this builds awareness. Patterns begin to emerge. Certain dynamics feel compelling, and others feel uncomfortable. Some interactions create a sense of safety, while others don’t.

This isn’t random.

It reflects internal values, needs, and boundaries that may not yet be fully articulated. Romance becomes a tool for identifying those patterns.

For marginalized readers, this function becomes even more critical.

Traditional narratives have historically centered a narrow definition of desirability. Whiteness, thinness, cisgender identity, and heteronormativity have often been positioned as the default. Within those constraints, many readers have not seen themselves reflected as the subject of desire or as central to a romantic narrative.

When readers encounter stories that center identities like their own, the impact extends beyond representation.

They are seeing themselves placed in roles that affirm their worth. They are witnessing characters who are desired, who have agency, and who navigate relationships on their own terms. This challenges internalized beliefs about who is allowed to be seen, wanted, and prioritized.

It also expands possibility.

If you have never seen a dynamic modeled, it’s difficult to imagine it as an option for your own life. Romance provides those models. It shows a range of relational structures, communication styles, and expressions of intimacy that may not have been available in a reader’s immediate environment.

This isn’t about replacing reality with fiction.

It is about creating a space where new ideas can be considered without immediate consequence.

The process is gradual. A reader notices what draws them in. They begin to understand why certain dynamics resonate. They develop language for their preferences, boundaries, and desires. Over time, this awareness can translate into real-life communication and decision-making.

In this way, romance supports identity formation.

It offers a space where exploration is possible without pressure. It allows readers to engage with complex aspects of themselves in a way that feels contained and manageable. It provides examples that can be evaluated, accepted, or rejected.

The value lies in that process of engagement.

When readers approach romance with attention and reflection, they aren’t consuming passively. They are interacting with the material. They are gathering information about themselves. They are testing ideas in a context that allows for flexibility and change.

This is particularly relevant in conversations about desire.

Desire is often framed as something that needs to be controlled or corrected. In many cultural contexts, it is associated with risk, judgment, or moral evaluation. Romance shifts that framing. It treats desire as something that can be explored, understood, and communicated.

That shift has implications.

When people have access to language and models for their experiences, they are better equipped to navigate relationships. They can identify what they want. They can articulate boundaries. They can recognize when something feels misaligned.

These are foundational skills for relational health.

They are’nt developed in isolation. They are shaped by the narratives people engage with, the examples they observe, and the spaces where they feel safe enough to reflect.

Romance, at its best, contributes to that process.

It creates a space where readers can encounter parts of themselves indirectly. It allows them to engage with those parts without immediate pressure to define or defend them. It supports a movement from reaction to recognition.

A useful place to begin is with a simple question.

What parts of yourself did you meet in fiction before you could name them out loud?

Tell me in the comments! I'll start, one of the first times I saw a nonbinary character on page was in I Kissed Shara Wheeler. There was a secondary character asking a tertiary character how they knew they were nonbinary, and as that character described the experience of knowing it, it felt like they were telling my story. I just knew, yes, that's me. And I suddenly had language I previously did not.

My May hopefuls… and by hopefuls, I mean we’ll see because I’m a mood reader 😭

I’ve said before that TBRs are basically a crime against humanity… and yet here I am making one anyway.

• The Neighbor Favor by Christina Forest
  This has been on my list for a while, so I really want to get to it.

• The Rite of Starling by Devney Perry (Book 2)
  I need to continue this series, like… it’s time.

• Curvy Girl Summer by Danielle Allen
  This just feels like the perfect seasonal read.

• Long Shot by Kennedy Ryan
  I already know this one is going to be emotional… I just need to be in the right mood.

Will I read all of these?
Who knows.

Will I randomly pick up something completely different instead?
Also yes.

Today, Sapph-Lit’s first book release as a Bindery imprint is published.

Saturn Returning by Kim Narby is officially out in the world for everyone to read. I hope this story makes you laugh, cry, get annoyed as all hell, scream, throw your book across the room only to immediately pick it back up and keep reading because you need to know what happens next, giggle and kick your feet, recommend the book to a friend, lend your annotated copy out. Silvia, Trace and Jordan are the most complicated, messy, real characters I’ve read in a long while. They may be fictional, but I know these lesbians — I’ve met them at bars and parties, on Hinge and Feeld, in college and at work. Thank you to Kim for bringing them to life and trusting me to share them with the world.

When Kim signed a finished copy of SR for me yesterday at her launch party, she signed it: “Here is to sapphic literature. Here is to messy girls. The mess only makes us stronger.” I couldn’t agree more.

As the founder of Sapph-Lit, all I’ve ever wanted to do for the last 5 years is be a bridge. By that, I mean Sapph-Lit was never about me. I am not Sapph-Lit. You, dear reader, are. For the past 5 years I’ve been lucky enough to connect readers to books that make them feel less alone. Connecting them with each other in the hopes that they make lifelong friends. Almost every single time I go to an event, I meet folks who say they met through Sapph-Lit. Sometimes they joined in the last year. Sometimes they remember our days on Geneva and our first ever official meetup in Central Park September 2021, just a few short months after we read One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston as our inaugural book pick. 

So much has happened to me, to Sapph-Lit, in 5 years time — I cannot deny that at times it has been a little messy (I wouldn’t be me without a little bit of mess, just like our 3 girls in Saturn Returning) — but that purpose of our community has never changed. I am still a very happy, sometimes very tired and overwhelmed but nevertheless incredibly proud, bridge.

One of the ways Sapph-Lit has evolved is now I get to connect Sapph-Lit authors with an audience before their book is even ready to be published. When I first read Saturn Returning, it was because you all told me to. Our Bindery subscribers read a sentence of Kim’s pitch letter and said, in an overwhelming majority, “Nina needs to read that one first.” You all understood Kim and our three characters before I did. I read all 259 pages of the original manuscript in one sitting, and this is the email I immediately upon finishing sent Shira, our acquisitions director here at Bindery, at 8:52pm on December 6th, 2024.

SATURN RETURNING by Kim Narby is 1000% my first book. It's exactly what I love in a sapphic read -- the messiness of DYKETTE, the earnestness of OLD ENOUGH, the complex yet breezy conversations about sexuality of DETRANSITION, BABY. I would love to make this work. Fingers crossed it does because it's so special.

And from then till now, Bindery Babes were there every step of the way: through rounds and rounds edits, having a say in the cover design, meeting Kim for the first time on Zoom, being the first to receive ARCs, pre-orders, BookCon and events galore, and now PUB DAY. Here’s to Saturn Returning, to Kim, to all you Sapph-Litties around the world, and to hopefully many more books to come (here's looking at you, Creative Differences).

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you for it all.

xx Nina

Hi there! I saw an influx of new folk join yesterday after I shouted out some subscribers and their 5 star books from April. First of all, welcome! There's well over 4k(!) of you now so I figured this would be a good time to update you and others how everything works here and the various benefits of the different tiers (listed here) so there's no false expectations or confusion.

If you're totally new to Bindery, think of it like a Patreon/Substack designed specifically for readers. It gives me a place to go deeper than short-form content and it's a place where you can engage with me and other readers outside of one-offs in a comment section. Between this space and our Discord (the "general chat" opens at the free Follower tier), you'll see all major announcements, new content links, enter giveaways, and get access to the "Dynamic Bookshelf" which features all the books I've talked about and tagged in my Bindery posts.

If that's all you're here for, that's all gravy! Allow me to elaborate on what else we got goin' on here though.

One of the many reasons I switched from Patreon to Bindery 1 1/2 years ago was the potential to one day have my own publishing imprint within Bindery. Our paid subscriber pool grew so fast that it happened very quickly, and that's how "Kist Reads" was born. It's a community-funded publishing imprint where Bindery takes a significant chunk of the subscription revenue and reinvests it into the resources needed to acquire and publish a book. It's what pays the author, editors, artists, marketing team and so on (and you may be happy to know there's zero AI used in this process). The LA Times did a fantastic feature on what Bindery is doing in the publishing space if you want to learn more about that.

This is how A Complement of Scoundrels by S.V. Lockwood (releasing 9/22/26) came about, and members got every single update I could share about the behind-the-scenes process. They even had a deciding role in selecting from different versions of the cover as me, SV, and the design team agonized over it. Paid members that joined before the cut-off dates for this book will also get early digital or physical copies of it in June, depending on their tier. We're in the process of acquiring a second book that would release next year, and the same benefits will exist for that cycle.

Even beyond the publishing angle, the biggest jump comes from what unlocks at the Sicko and above paid tiers, which start at only $5 p/m. You get access to things like the pinned history book master list with over 100 recommendations, broken down by topic, and I update that regularly. If you're a history nut or history curious it's easily one of the most valuable things kept on the site. There are also expanded reviews, Monday reading updates, and other exclusive content that you can only find here. We recently launched the Sicko Society tier which includes a quarterly book box and I'll be posting more about that soon as the second box deadline will be coming up in a month.

The big one for me is the Discord. The free tier gets you the super basics, the paid tier unlocks:

• The most chaotic "main chat" channel I've been a part of, averaging ~1.5k messages per day in 2026 (though you may prefer the more chill vibe of the other channels, those are quite active as well)

• Book club votes and discussions

• A request-a-rec channel where the community helps you find your next read

• Genre-specific channels for fantasy, sci fi, history, classics, horror etc.

• Buddy read channels that spin up constantly for authors/books/series like Red Rising, Discworld, Hunger Games, Malazan, The Realm of the Elderlings, Project Hail Mary, ASOIAF, and so on

• The Monthly Wrap video/voice call where we all talk about what we read the previous month (allegedly, it usually goes off the rails pretty quick)

People not familiar with Discord usually have questions about how to sync their Bindery account, you can find how to do that in the settings tab and clicking on the Discord tab. If you have any trouble with it please don't hesitate to reach out on here or in there. And look if you're a paid member already and haven't gotten in on the Disco, I truly believe you're missing out on a big part of the experience.

Again though if you're just here to follow along, hell yeah, the free Follower tier does exactly what it says on the tin. If you want all the extra stuff and a hand in helping the imprint bring new cool shit into the publishing world, the paid tiers do that and you get to be bullied and degraded by a gaggle of women in the Discord main chat as a bonus. Or as a women you can join their cause and help out with all that. It's really a choose-your-own-adventure situation.

Okay I don't have anything else to say or beg about so this is just gonna kinda end.

Welcome back to another What I'm Reading This Week.

Last week was a tad hectic and I didn't get a chance to post what I was reading, so I figured I'd do a brief summary of last week and then move on to this week.

LAST WEEK

Not Your Final Girl by Mikayla Randolph-- A fun slasher with some killer twists

Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier--A classic for a reason! I enjoyed this one.

The Last Witch by C.J. Cooke-- A haunting tale of how men take religion and weaponized it as a method of controlling/harming women.

THIS WEEK

I just finished Strange Buildings by Uketsu and Loved it! I love the mystery and puzzles the book has for the reader to try and figure out! I love books that involve the reader.

I'm also currently reading Frostbite by Jill Palmer which is FANTASTIC and def needs to go on some radars! It's a post apocalyptic novel with zombie esq monsters and a protagonist who is a diabetic. It's really well done. It releases tomorrow and I can't wait to talk about it.

I'm listening to Immaculate Conception by Ling Ling Huang. So far I am enjoying it and can't wait to see where it goes.

Next on my tbr is The Wax Child by Olga Ravn which takes place during a witch trial!

What are you reading this week?
