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 →

New SFF Releases, April-June 2023

Behold! The list that was promised! Please note that these are books that I am interested in, not everything that is being released over this second quarter of the year. And also note that I have a book out in April, too! I just didn't mention it down below but That Slow Awakening (Book 2 … Continue reading New SFF Releases, April-June 2023 →

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 →

Upcoming SFF, January-March 2022

It's hard to believe it's almost 2022. Anywho, here's a wish for you. May your TBR be plentiful. May your reads be five-stars. May the science fiction flourish and the fantasy contain dragons. May the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ authors get the same or better marketing as the whyte epic fantasy authors. May the fields and … Continue reading Upcoming SFF, January-March 2022 →

Sci Fi Friday: Falling in love with fantasy

It's been...quite some time since I've done a Sci Fi Friday post, and since I've been reading a hell of a lot of fantasy recently, and posted a list of books for reluctant readers, I started thinking about gateway books for one of my favorite genres: Fantasy. Specifically, fantasy novels targeted towards adults. This topic … Continue reading Sci Fi Friday: Falling in love with fantasy →

Upcoming SFF, October-December 2021

I don't know about you, but there are so many amazing SFF books being released this quarter that I just don't know what to do! There are so many to read, and so little time! These are the ones that I'm most excited to read, although there are quite a few more being released. My … Continue reading Upcoming SFF, October-December 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 →

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! →

Sci Fi REPOST Friday: Sapphics in Space (and Across Time)

A repost of this bad girl, because this month (and this move) has murdered my blogging abilities. Sapphics in spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace. I am so happy with publishing over the past couple of years, because not only have there been quite a few wlw science fiction and fantasy releases, but many of them (well, the ones I … Continue reading Sci Fi REPOST Friday: Sapphics in Space (and Across Time) →
