I had a very ambitious plan for July. Read all my August ARCs (which I over-requested). And then, because I had so few ARCs for September and October, I could...be free of ARCs, and read whatever the fuck I wanted in August. Reader, this absolutely did not happen. Aside from reading 17 books (I added … Continue reading August 2022 TBR

July 2022 Wrap-Up
I knew that July would be a semi-slumpy month. And that's okay. It followed me binge-reading nearly a book a day for two months for my book club's semi-annual team game. I needed a break. I wrapped my impulsive Murderbot reread and then I read a book that took me a damn month to read … Continue reading July 2022 Wrap-Up
35 YA Releases, July-September 2022
I meant to post this in June. If I had a list of things I meant to do, it would be...incredibly long. But I'm posting this now, and even though it's kinda almost in the first half of July, I'm considering it a win. There are a lot of really fun looking YA books coming … Continue reading 35 YA Releases, July-September 2022
31 SFF Releases, July-September 2022
Okay, so it's almost halfway through July for this post, but that's okay because there are so many exciting SFF releasing coming in August and September (and the rest of July)! Despite number, this is far from an inclusive list, as these are the books I'm most excited about, and therefore the list skews non-cis … Continue reading 31 SFF Releases, July-September 2022

June 2022 Wrap Up
Welp, fully two posts made in June, and one was a tbr and the other was this one. Is this winning? Maybe July will be the month I get back to blogging. Maybe. Mayyyyyybe. I dunno. I have lots of bookish things I want to talk about, but I don't know. Right now I am … Continue reading June 2022 Wrap Up
June 2022 TBR
Well, it's Pride Month. Although to be fair it feels more like Wrath month that it ever has. I read an instagram post from @YourTitaKate that had Micah Bazant's words (often attributed to the amazing Marsha P Johnson), "No Pride for some of us without liberation for all of us." My Pride display And I'm … Continue reading June 2022 TBR
May 2022 Wrap-Up
Whoops I ghosted again. I intended to post. Had a whole plan lined out. And then I just...didn't write it. So yeah, that happened. No ragrets. Anywho, May was a good month overall for me, mostly because I dropped a couple of things I was doing (writing fiction, writing on the blog, posting on Instagram … Continue reading May 2022 Wrap-Up
