2023 Hugo Shortlist Hot Takes

I'm not sure about you all, but when I opened up my notifications on Instagram and saw that someone had posted about the Hugo shortlist, I thought they were pulling a joke. Because...surely these books didn't make the shortlist. 2022 had some incredible science fiction and fantasy, and this list...ain't it. For the first time … Continue reading 2023 Hugo Shortlist Hot Takes →

Sapphics in Spaaaaaaace: Queer Women in Science Fiction

I published the first version of this post in February 2021, and it got tweeted by Angry Robot in March of the same year and it got a lot of traction! It was a huge surprise because none of my stuff had been picked up before (or since) by anyone with a large following. My … Continue reading Sapphics in Spaaaaaaace: Queer Women in Science Fiction →

The Quarter Year Crisis Book Tag

I saw this on @One Book More's page, and couldn't resist! I haven't done a Book Tag in so long! This was originally created by Roisin @Roisin’s Reading on YouTube, and it’s a look back on the first three months of the year. I'm not tagging anyone, but if this looks like fun, consider yourself tagged! How … Continue reading The Quarter Year Crisis Book Tag →

On Reading Diversely

I was planning on having this be a post on the new SFF releases for second quarter, but then I started writing and, well. I got to thinking about science fiction recommendations and a recent thing that happened to me. Was there a little push behind this post? Why, funny you should ask, but yes. … Continue reading On Reading Diversely →

Trans Rights Readathon (Mar 20-27)

I couldn’t resist joining this! Created and organized by @sim_bookstagrams_badly, this readathon both raises awareness and funds of the various legislative actions being taken across the country to strip trans and nonbinary folks’ ability to exist. From the recent banning of drag in Tennessee to Florida’s Don’t Say Gay and Stay WOKE acts to Texas’ anti-trans … Continue reading Trans Rights Readathon (Mar 20-27) →

27 SFF Releases, October-December 2022

There are so many science fiction and fantasy books coming out in the last three months of 2022! I'm so excited, and also wondering how the hell I'm going to read all the things. Triage. Triage is key. Also, I am loving the revival/resurgence of witchy romances. Not necessarily urban fantasy or paranormal fantasy, but … Continue reading 27 SFF Releases, October-December 2022 →

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 →
