A couple days later than I was intending to make this, but it is here. Anywho, in a move that should surprise exactly no one, I'm taking the blog on hiatus until at least January 1, 2023. The reasons are myriad and not super complex, but I've been having less fun in this space and … Continue reading September 2022 Wrap-Up

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
August 2022 Wrap-Up
I lived August like it was a Taylor Swift song. It was busy as hell and also slow as hell. I went home to see family in Oregon for the first time in three years at the beginning of August, and my wife was on leave for about three weeks this month, so therefore my … Continue reading August 2022 Wrap-Up
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
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
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

A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking by T Kingfisher 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲/5 Fourteen-year-old Mina never meant to get arrested. In fact, she shouldn't have been arrested at all. She was the one who found the body of the girl in her aunt's bakery, but because Mina is a wizard (does being able to magic bread even count … Continue reading Book Review: A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking by T Kingfisher
Book Review: Siren Queen by Nghi Vo
Siren Queen by Nghi Vo 🌲🌲🌲🌲/5 "No maids," I said, thrusting my chin up. "No funning talking, no fainting flowers." In this Hollywood, the monsters on screen aren't half as bad the monsters behind the scenes, controlling everything, from their stars' names to the people they love. Luli Wei would do anything to be a … Continue reading Book Review: Siren Queen by Nghi Vo
