With the rest of the pack busy, Wade is sent to Boston to deal with the situation when the pack there asks for help. The turf war he finds isn't that surprising, but the selkie clan leader he finds himself drawn to...
It’s the first month of the year, and I was thinking, what better time for a post about the first lines of books? So that’s what I’m doing! It’s getting hard to keep track and not repeat books when I’ve done this so many times. You’d think it wouldn’t be that hard, considering I’ve must’ve...

Andrew writes macabre stories, and Thomas, his best friend and the boy he loves, draws them. But this year at boarding school, everything starts going wrong when their monsters start becoming real and they have to spend every night in the forest trying to keep them at...
Happy new year, I guess? For me it's just new year, same problems. But this post is about 2024 still! Not that I have much to say. I didn't do anything for the holidays, so I had a standard month. Worried about health things that there just is no solution for. At least, not with this country and the healthcare system and my living situation being what it is. I made some art though! Nothing...
This list is maybe a little different than usual because it only has six new books, and the other four are rereads. Turns out I did more rereading this year than I thought! But I feel like any book good enough to make me love it multiple times deserves to be praised multiple times, and these were my genuine ten favorite books this year. So without further ado, here they are, plus a few...
I wasn't going to do a top ten characters post this year, but then I remembered it would be a great excuse to talk about Gale from Baldur's Gate 3... So I'm doing a top ten characters post! I only have seven, it's just easier to keep the title and picture consistent each year. Also I'm going to be a bit lazy and copy+paste quotes from my reviews for some of the character descriptions. Work...
It's that time again for book covers! I think I have fewer than usual this year, believe it it not, since I read fewer books. Still have plenty though! I've said before and will say again that a book doesn't need an expensive, perfect cover. I would rather something basic or a stock photo than an AI cover. (If you don't believe me, check out my favorite books post that will come out soon!)...
I forgot last weekend that I was supposed to do an update post, but it worked out alright, I got my Christmas recs post out early in the month. But then I also forgot all week to make this post, so I'm making it after midnight when it's already supposed to be...
It's been a couple years since I did a Christmas books recommendation post. To be honest, I didn't read any Christmas books last year. But they can be lovely when you're in the right mood, especially in December! So I've finally found some more books for people to enjoy. Specifically queer ones, even though all my holiday lists have at least some queer books. I haven't read most of these, so...
This is one of those weeks when I am just not feeling up to putting together a whole new post, and people probably aren't visiting blogs as much as usual this weekend, and I don't really have any books I feel like reviewing anyway (I don't review every book I read). Luckily, I reread this one recently, and although my feelings are mostly the same, I did bump my rating from 4.5 stars to 5 stars!...
