Anthologies! Sometimes I like to start my posts by just shouting the thing they're about. Easier than thinking of good intros. So anyway, I have a bunch of anthologies (and one collection) I reviewed elsewhere years ago but never posted here. Both normal and graphic novels. To be honest, most of these were not really for me. I've tried to get into anthologies. They always sound so fun....
I've reviewed the previous books in this series with mini reviews on the blog, so I wanted to at least do one of these quick review posts for the rest now that I've read them. Since they all have the same "Recommended For" and mostly the same tags, I'll just do those sections once at the end. This series sort of had its ups and downs, but overall, it had a wonderful romance/relationship/family...
I'm back with the rest of the books in Maz Maddox's Stallion Ridge series! (These were the first reviews.) It's a series of connected m/m romance stories, so I recommend reading them in order, though each focuses on a different main couple, set in a fantasy Wild West world filled with different paranormal creatures. A lot of instalove (or quick love), which isn't my favorite thing, but *shrug* I...
I've got some more holiday book reviews! I know, I know, I've done a lot of Christmas posts this year, and I might still do one or two more quick reviews, but I'll be getting back to the usual stuff soon. Anyway, most of these are about Christmas, but one is more about general holidays with a bit of Hanukkah. Most are m/m. One is a collection of short stories. And yes, two have the words...
Since it's December, it's time to post some holiday book reviews! I read some of these last December, some of these this December, and I enjoyed them all. The first three are all in one series that features different main characters in each book, and the last two are in a different series, though none are marked as a series on Goodreads or Amazon. (Well, one is also part of a collection sort of...
For this quick review post, I have another complete series to review. This time the Reconstructionist series by Meghan Ciana Doidge. It's part of the Dowser series world, but it's probably possible to read just these if you want to. These books have my favorite character from the Dowser series as more of a main character. Anyway, here are my thoughts and links to the full...
I try to group my quick review posts around a theme (or a series) as much as possible, so this time I’ve got four m/m fantasy romance books! One is historical fantasy set in our world, the rest are high fantasy set in made-up worlds. But all of these have a kind of similar vibe,...
Lately I've been trying to devote full review posts, which take more time and energy, to books I really like. So for this quick reviews post, I've got a bunch of books I did not like and rated lower than 3 stars. We can't like every book, right? For the most part, despite having quite a few issues with some of these, they're "not for me" books, not necessarily bad books. But one was quite...
This time for quick reviews I have the Psions of SPIRE series by Alex Silver! All four main books, plus two extra novellas. This is a series with diverse queer rep about people with psionic abilities (telekinesis, empathy, etc.). Each book focuses on different characters, but they're all connected into one storyline, so I recommend reading them in order. I enjoyed...
This time for my quick reviews I have the Folk of the Air series by Holly Black! (Minus The Lost Sisters, which will be in a separate post since it's a short story.) If you haven't heard of it, it's a YA series about a human raised in the fae realm. I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I wasn't a big fan. I was probably being a bit nice with my 3.5 star ratings, now that I think back on it,...
