After the events of the first book, half-kitsune Yumeko and her friends/allies (a ronin, a noble, a shrine maiden, and a priest) know it's more important than ever to continue on with their quest to bring Yumeko's piece of the dragon scroll to where it will be safe. But Yumeko refuses to give up on fixing what happened, even though it might lead them all to...
I've read the first two books in Tracy Townsend's Thieves of Fate series, and my favorite thing about them is the relationships between the characters, so I'm super excited to have a guest post from the author today about that exact thing! I love finding books that have strong bonds between characters, so I found her thoughts really interesting, and hopefully you will too. To celebrate the...
The people of the Hive are so close to being able to leave their airship and live on the surface, giving humanity a chance to survive, but it might be even harder than they think. Hell Divers and citizens alike will have to go to war with El Pulpo and the cannibals if humanity is to have a...
It's been a while since I did one of these LGBT+ books by LGBT+ authors posts (you can find the first one here), so I thought it was about time to do another! Whether you're seeing this during Pride Month when I'm posting it or stumbling upon this at a later date, hopefully you can find some great books and support some great LGBT+ creators...
Ummm... Happy June? I don't know, I never know how to start these posts! Anyway, it's not the intro that counts, it's the books, right? And I do have some of those! If you missed the first May/June 2019 releases post, you can find that here, or just keep on scrolling for the rest that I've...
Largo is stuck in a dead-end job as a bike courier with a crappy apartment and a drug addiction. Things start looking up thanks to a promotion and connections that could help him achieve his dreams, but things also start getting stranger and more worrisome as a war nears, a plague spreads, and people start disappearing and coming back different. Largo will have to decide what side he's on and...
So BEA just passed (or maybe is still happening?) and every other blogger will probably be sharing massive book hauls today. Not me. Instead, I just have LOTS OF MERFOLK! (This is going to be a very image-filled post ?) #Mermay has ended, but I ended up doing six pieces, which is five more than I thought I'd do, and also the most art I've done in a month probably ever. Last month I shared my...

But the man's cancer comes back, and he hires Mal, a hellhound, to track him down, only Mal starts to fall for Jory as he pieces together the truth of the...
Gosh I'm bad at writing post titles sometimes. But that's ok, hopefully the post itself will make up for it! So here's a thing I've noticed in sci-fi/fantasy books. The characters and the stories usually don't have a lot going on outside of the sci-fi/fantasy aspects and, usually, the romance. No hobbies or passions or interests or pasttimes. Occasionally they'll have some interest, but it won't...
