Okay, these aren't mini reviews at all, but these books are so, so good!

Top Ten Tuesday: Reasons I Love Reading
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. I've been a lifelong reader ever since I fell in … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Reasons I Love Reading
Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag 2021
This tag was created by chami, but Yolanda @ Past Midnight's post inspired (and reminded) me to do this tag. I did it last year and it was a lot of fun. Of one thing you can be certain: my inability to make a decision on any one book for each category. For for twelve questions … Continue reading Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag 2021
Upcoming SFF Jul-Sep 2021
While July and August are kinda slow release-wise (for SFF books I'm interested in, anyway—there are a lot of big name authors releasing stuff these months, who I don't particularly care for, and then a bunch of contemporary romance authors for whom I do care), September is promising to kick off a fantastic fall release … Continue reading Upcoming SFF Jul-Sep 2021
July 2021 TBR
This month looks to be a month of fun, fresh romances! August is going to be slam-packed with September ARCs, so I'm going to take this month and have a bit of a relaxer—read my August ARCs, catch up on contemporary romances, and read other books on my TBR. The lighter and frothier, the better. … Continue reading July 2021 TBR
June 2021 Wrap-Up
So uh, I took an unexpected semi-hiatus this month. Of course, instead of a planned hiatus, where I could relax, reenergize and whatnot, this was unexpected and I was filled with writer's block, stress and everything else. It wasn't just the blog, but a number of things that boiled together and hit me with a … Continue reading June 2021 Wrap-Up
Top Ten Tuesday: Most Anticipated Releases for the Second Half of 2021
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Folks, folks, folks, folks. So far, 2021 has been rough, … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Most Anticipated Releases for the Second Half of 2021
Queer Indie SFF Recs for Pride!
Ha. I almost typed Pride Moth and you know, I could totally work with that. A big rainbow-colored moth blazing holes of justice and equality throughout the world and in all things cashmere, its only kryptonite bright lights, the sun, and moth balls. I've already done posts kinda similar to this one, with Sapphics in … Continue reading Queer Indie SFF Recs for Pride!
Upcoming YA July-Sep 2021
My 100% completely arbitrary list of the YA releasing in the third quarter of 2021. This is by far not a comprehensive list of what's being released this quarter (all of September alone would break the limits of WordPress), just the ones that I'm really excited about. Will I be able to read all these? … Continue reading Upcoming YA July-Sep 2021
Writing Update: Two New Short Stories Out Now!
I have great news! Not one, but two of my short stories are out this month! After over a year of having absolutely nothing accepted by literally anyone in 2020 (okay, so I did have two things published—my novella, Evie and the Pack-Horse Librarians and my debut novel, That Distant Dream, but those were both … Continue reading Writing Update: Two New Short Stories Out Now!
