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 read and go for) are ownvoices. No more cringey lesbians written by clueless white dudes (here's looking … Continue reading Sci Fi Friday: Sapphics in Space (and Across Time)

Sci Fi Friday: 20 YA SFF Books by Black Authors
Is this mostly to show off the absolutely breathtaking cover that is For All Time? Mmm, maybe. Anywho, it's Black History Month, so why not showcase Black authors writing speculative YA fiction?

Sci Fi Friday: My 2021 Hugo Predictions
It's been a hot minute since I've done a true Sci Fi Friday post, and after seeing a blog post (I cannot remember who) asking if folks gravitated towards awards winners or not, I thought that I really don't, but I have been doing a damn good job guessing what's going to be on the … Continue reading Sci Fi Friday: My 2021 Hugo Predictions

Book Review: The Diabolic Trilogy
Okay, I truly, honestly feel that everyone has been sleeping on this YA series. And it disappoints me. Because generic ensemble poo rises in YA sci-fi, and the twisty, turny, complex (ish) and delicious mess that is the Diabolic trilogy sinks into oblivion. So here are my reviews from the trilogy (light edited). I was … Continue reading Book Review: The Diabolic Trilogy

There are so many I am excited about, and I just want you … Continue reading 14 Adult SFF Releases, Sep-Dec 2020

Last week I highlighted four (I know there are more but my brain is just toast right now) adult queer science fiction releases from September to November. Despite having a strong start to 2020 and a hella queer August (Harrow and The Space Between Worlds, among others), YA SFF-land has gotten a whole lot gayer. … Continue reading 12 Upcoming Queer YA SFF Releases

The Quick Fire Fantasy Tag
I'm kinda not really catching up on some book tags I was tagged in! Despite having done this blog for a year, I'm still figuring out tagging and how to know if/when someone tagged me in something. It's not frequent, but it does happen. I love fantasy, and while I claim science fiction as my … Continue reading The Quick Fire Fantasy Tag
