Books, Reading, and everything in between
After reading The Haunting of Tram Car 015 last year, I was hooked to the alternate Cairo P Djeli Clark created. And when I heard he was going to be 1) releasing his first full-length novel 2) it was set in his alternate Cairo, I knew I had to read it. And thankfully this book [...]
I'm going to start off by saying that I don't normally read historical fiction. However, when it's a historical fiction that 1) takes place on the Titanic 2) brings in an under-represented group that wouldn't normally be on the Titanic, then I need to investigate. And much like Valora Luck, I got lucky with this [...]
It's that time of year again where the flowers start to bloom on the trees and the Hugo Award nominees are announced. Out of all the bookish awards that exist in the world, the Hugo's are one of my favorites because of the way they celebrate SFF authors and writing throughout the year. Last year, [...]
Tomorrow, Realm Breaker will be out in the world for everyone to read! Gah, it's always so exciting to be writing a review for a book months in advance. I feel like it's been forever since I read an up-and-coming novel that has a lot of highly-anticipated readers with a huge dedicated following from her [...]
Hello and hi and welcome to another month on the glorious Earth! May is going to be a doozy with all the great books being released this year. I think there's huge titles publishing for almost every genre, so this summer is going to be filled with so many great books to read. I'm salivating [...]
Happy end of another month! I swear, if I wasn't paying attention the month would end much sooner than it does. While nothing much happened this month for me (another month in the pandemic), I did celebrate my wedding anniversary with my husband. I think this was the most eventful anniversary since we took some [...]
I've been finding a lot of fairy tale retellings lately. Perhaps it's just a trend in the reading world or maybe it's just entirely coincidence. But either way, I'm here for all of it. Here's More About Malice Once upon a time, there was a wicked fairy who, in an act of vengeance, cursed a [...]
I had a lot of high hopes for this one especially since I really loved The City in the Middle of the Night by Charlie Jane Anders. It's her first foray into sci-fi and while it definitely carried those themes, it hit the mark for me. Here's More About Victories Greater Than Death Outsmart Your [...]
Do you ever judge a book by its cover? I will admit, I'm a culprit of this and I most definitely judged Martha Wells' All Systems Red a little too hastily. It had a giant robot guy on the cover and didn't really convey the mood of the story. But once you get into it, [...]
I was pleasantly surprised with this one. I really liked Nina Hill and expected a similar story for this one, but a mother/daughter growth story worked and really made me happy to read. Here's more about I Was Told It Would Get Easier Squashed among a bus full of strangers, mother-daughter duo Jessica and Emily [...]
