Here we are, the last blog post of the year! It might be the new year by the time you're reading this, but still, it's my last 2023 post, and I guess I saved the best for last? Since I am talking about my favorite books from the year. (All of which are queer, btw! Love that!) I'm grateful to have found these, and all the other great books I read this year, because they brought me joy or...
It's actually become increasingly harder for me over the years to choose favorite characters from books because I don't really have favorites the way I used to. Which is not an insult to authors, they are still writing great characters! But it's more that I love the way they fit into their stories and the dynamics they have with other characters. I guess, I'm finding it harder now to separate...
It's that time of year again! The time when I share all my favorite covers from the books I read! Covers aren't everything, obviously, but I do love a good one. So here are some good amazing ones! I'm not going to talk about every single individual cover, but I'll drop some thoughts I have here and...

(You can check out my previous posts, if you want some recs!) So I thought, maybe a little discussion instead? I've read quite a few supposed Christmas books, but some of them have definitely felt more Christmas than others. Anyway, the categories...

I've read multiple books, even played a game or two, in which the ending involves everyone forgetting a whole bunch of events, except for the main character. They still remember. Because of some sort of sci-fi/fantasy thing going on. And I really want to know what other people's feelings are about this, because I don't understand if this is supposed to be a happy ending or...
