Update: Life and Books (Jan 2025)

I've decided I'm going to focus on positive things for this month's update. So first I have some art! I made fanart for I Was a Teenage Exocolonist. It started in December 2023 when someone posted on Reddit like, "I've never played, but this subreddit keeps showing up on my feed. Ask me about the game, and I'll pretend I know." Someone asked who Noctilucent should end up with, the person answered...
 
Bookish News: 10 Queer SFF Books I’m Excited For in 2024 (Part 2)

Bookish News: 10 Queer SFF Books I’m Excited For in 2024 (Part 2)

I'm back with Part 2 of upcoming queer sci-fi/fantasy books in 2024! This time it's books releasing in the second half of the year. Mostly standalones, I think, but it's impossible to know when a lot of publishers/authors don't give any indication. Mostly adult, but a few YA. I also found some with trans, nonbinary, and asexual characters, which I don't come across quite as often, so I'm happy...

Bookish Tag Post: The Firsts of 2023 Book Tag

This picture looks more like a birthday or anniversary sort of post, but I don't know, I didn't want to waste too much time looking and just grabbed something with a one in it. *shrug* There's something weirdly fun about looking back at the "firsts" of things. Also tags are fairly easy blog posts to make when I'm low on energy. So here we are! I found this at Howling Libraries (I just get...
 
Bookish Musings: The Cozy Potential of the Apocalypse + Recommendations!

Bookish Musings: The Cozy Potential of the Apocalypse + Recommendations!

I wasn't sure how to explain this in the title. Cozy, chill, intimate, even lonely in a thought-provoking sort of way---this sort of feeling is something I've noticed about and something that really draws me to apocalypse and post-apocalyptic books, games, etc. But I feel like that's sort of not what people associate with the genre? So that's what I wanted to talk about, plus give some...

Bookish News: 10 Queer SFF Books I’m Excited For in 2023 (Part 1)

New year, new books! More specifically, new queer sci-fi/fantasy books. This is Part 1 because it only includes books from the first half of the year, and I plan to do another in July. Sort of by accident I have five adult books (which I put first) and five YA (which I put in the second row). There are a lot more than ten I'm looking forward to, but I had to limit myself because I only have so...
 
Cover Love: Cover Reveal for World Running Down by Al Hess

Cover Love: Cover Reveal for World Running Down by Al Hess

I love sharing and talking about covers on my blog, so I'm excited to be part of a cover reveal today! For a queer post-apocalyptic book about a trans protagonist and an android! And not only is the cover beautiful, it was drawn by the author, which is really cool. I'm seriously loving this cover---the layout, the colors, the vibe, the font, the art itself! So without further...
