graphic from Bionic Book Worm I saw this post from Shanah the Bionic Book Worm and had to jump in! 2019 has been an absolutely wild ride for books this year. Halfway through the year and I've already read 113 books. It's slowed down considerably since my wife got home earlier this month, however, so … Continue reading Mid Year Freak Out Tag 2019
Top 5 Tuesday: Unpopular Bookish Opinions
I'm not really sure what unpopular bookish opinions I have, since I exist in a little echo chamber of people who like more or less what I like (and I like to keep it that way). I saw a couple other unpopular opinions that...aren't really unpopular but common sense? I dunno. I'm of the mindset … Continue reading Top 5 Tuesday: Unpopular Bookish Opinions

This Week's Theme: Favorite Fantasy Published 2017-19 Last month I had a post about my favorite science fiction books of the last couple of years, and when drafting my most-anticipated SFF reads I realized that I should probably include a post somewhere about my favorite fantasy books. Since listing either favorite science fiction OR fantasy … Continue reading Sci Fi Friday
May 2019 Wrap Up
So I kinda went a little overboard on my reading this month. Hell, this entire year I've gone a little overboard (there is a reason for this, and the reason is my wife hasn't been here—she's totally fine btw). Generally I average 12-13 books a month, and this year it's been about 20. This month … Continue reading May 2019 Wrap Up

SFF TBR, Part 1 This week I'm listing all of the science fiction and fantasy books that I want to read that have already been published.

25 LGBTQIA+ YA Books From 2019
As an avid reader of young adult books (despite being a middle-aged woman...oh wow that hurt to type), I've been excited to see more and more diversity in the publishing world. Let's revise that—there's always been diverse books in YAlandia, but they haven't gotten the publicity or attention of, say...books written by white cishet authors. … Continue reading 25 LGBTQIA+ YA Books From 2019
Book Review: Ayesha At Last
🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺/5 Ayesha At Last by Uzma Jalaluddin After years of school and months of job hunting, Ayesha finally got a job substitute teaching high schoolers—a sensible choice but one that makes her heart sink every time she gets into the classroom. Khalid is entranced by the girl in the purple hijab, but too shy to … Continue reading Book Review: Ayesha At Last
Sci Fi Friday!
Spaceships. New planets. Dystopians. Space Opera. Time Travel. When it comes to science fiction (and fantasy) you name it, I love it. Okay, I don’t love all science fiction. There are definitely many science fiction books out there that are, um, problematic? And a lot that I just don’t care for, usually because of the … Continue reading Sci Fi Friday!
