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)

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

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...
 
Bookish Musings: Top Ten Books/Series I Read in 2021 + Some Non-Bookish Things

Bookish Musings: Top Ten Books/Series I Read in 2021 + Some Non-Bookish Things

Time for my last, but certainly not least, blog post of the year. My favorite books and series! (Also games and podcasts and one movie and one show, because why not!?) I guess I really don't need to ramble here, the post will speak for itself. So out of the roughly 150 books I read this years, here are my ten(ish, because series) favorites, in no particular order except for the last two, and...
 
Cover Characteristics: Best Book Covers from Books I Read in 2021

Cover Characteristics: Best Book Covers from Books I Read in 2021

I love pretty book covers! They can definitely entice me to read a book I probably wouldn't have been quite interested enough in otherwise. Or make me more excited for a book I already wanted to read. Or make me want a print copy, just so I can look at it whenever I want. So, as I think I've said before, this is a post I really look forward to each year. I included some runners-up, but I...
