I sort of wanted to do something for Valentine's Day (not that I'm celebrating, but I've been blogging for over seven years, I need to get ideas from somewhere), so this is what I decided on! Because book covers are fun. I have to be honest, I was a little bit lazy and mostly looked through covers I already had on my blog from previous posts. But not everyone has seen all those...
My favorite books of the year! Who doesn't love talking about books they loved? Some of these were ones I'd been looking forward to, and they didn't disappoint. Some were sort of spontaneous reads. Some I didn't really know if they'd be my kinda book, but they surprised me in the best way. So here, in no particular order, are my top ten(ish) reads of 2022, plus a few other things I...
Time to talk about characters! I included technically more than ten, since I chose multiple characters from some books, as I sometimes do, but I'm sure you all don't mind. And I've run out of things to say in these intros, so here are my favorite characters of...
Is it just me, or are book covers getting better? I have SO many this year. These aren't in any order. I tried to group them together by similar art styles or color, just for a nice aesthetic. And I chose a few to talk about, but I couldn't talk about them all because I'd just be repeating how pretty everything is a million times. And most of them aren't just great art, they're also great text...
I have to preface this by saying I'm not criticizing other reviewers. Everyone is allowed to have their own opinion and to dislike a book for any reason! But it's things I've seen in reviews that got me thinking about this topic. This year, I've noticed a few of the books I loved got some negative reviews that complained about the plot being slow, or the plot being simple and not having much...
Well, September was a month. And it's over now! I never know how to start these posts anymore. I call these "Life and Books," but as it turns out, life is usually either too boring to be worth talking about or too complicated to want to talk about, and I pretty much just talk about books, games, music, podcasts, and movies/shows instead. Speaking of which... I found this really cool cover of...

🌟One of my faves!🌟
When an incident sees Prince Kadou nearly exiled and costs his guard his job, he's assigned a new guard, Evemer, who thinks the prince flighty and careless but will protect him nevertheless. But as they investigate a counterfeit crime, face danger, and spend more time together, Evemer realizes how wrong he was, and the two start developing...
There are so many amazing-sounding queer sci-fi/fantasy books releasing this year! It was hard for me to choose just ten for this post, but making these kinds of blog posts is a lot of work, so I had to make a limit for my own sake. Sharing excitement is fun though! I decided to go with just books releasing in January through June for this post, with the hopes that I will do another one for...
