I read this on recommendation from a friend, but I’m counting it for the 52 book club challenge prompt “picked without reading the blurb”, because that is also true. I loved the characters, I loved the politics, I loved the language, I loved the POISON and ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATIONS and the CULTURE. Absolutely an all-time favorite, […]
I LOVE LOVE LOVED this book. I love time loops and I love alternate universes and I loved the exploration of that in this book, and I loved our main characters and I even loved the ending, even though it was kind of fucked up — but in a very deserving way, I think! In […]

Honestly I kind of wish this book were like, a hundred pages longer. Not just because I wanted more, but also because I wanted this book to just be drawn out a little longer. I wanted to kind of wallow in a lot more moments, but I guess that’s what rereading is for. This young […]
So I did stay up until 3am last week to read this book, and then I had to fall asleep and wake up again to immediately finish it as soon as I was conscious again. This is crunchy sci-fi mixed with fantastic romance that hits all my favorite tropes. I’ve recently been finding regular contemporary […]
This book honestly ranks up there with Ophelia After All for me. Disclaimer, also, that I’ve never read The Importance of Being Earnest. For me, this book reads like an readalike for Molly Kasperek’s work. If I was reading a pitch for this book, it would comp their books. There’s fast moving romance, basically everyone […]
Review once again by my roommate because I DNF’d this one thirty pages in, realizing that I actually hate myth retellings?? I received this at no cost from NetGalley, but my roommate checked it out of the library. (Can I count this for my library challenge? Hmm.) i really enjoyed wrath goddess sing and read […]
This is a cool little collection of queer sci-fi stories — something that I would definitely recommend. Claire Kann’s was obviously my favorite, but K. Ancrum’s “Home” definitely also places. It’s no Dahlia Adler anthology, but it is very good — I think it’s really important to read stories of queer people having a future. […]
This is a great and fun nonfiction book with a bunch of interesting and funny illustrations! There’s accessible and even silly prose, and it never gets too positive to be patronizing. Also, I learned a lot about many different kinds of animals. It’s a refreshing read when a lot of nonfiction queer books right now […]
