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...
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...
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...
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...
Reed should be safe after everything that happened in the last book, but he keeps thinking he sees Phil Rice around town, and his paranoia and anxiety are getting worse. Meanwhile, Mazarin can't seem to fit in with humans or with the other sentient AI she meets. And both of them struggle with confusing feelings and navigating romantic...
I did a post with opening lines before, and I'm doing it again because I just think it's really interesting to look at the opening lines of books! I don't know about you all, but I tend to just kind of gloss over the first line, in a way, and immediately forget it by the time I'm a few sentences deep. I don't really stop to pay attention to just the opening line specifically when I'm starting...
I feel like I kind of neglect science fiction books on this blog, but I do read sci-fi books sometimes! So I thought it would be fun to take ten different types of sci-fi worlds I'm familiar with and rank them based entirely on my own personal opinion about how much I'd want to live in them. Then you can tell me how wrong I am in the comments and how you would rank these instead...
So. It's been a month. An attempted coup. A second impeachment. An inauguration. Stock market stuff. At least some of those things are good! Still, it's just been a lot, on top of personal life, health, etc. I decided to go back and add a background to the Jacovine vampire smut I shared over a year ago but never really got to finish because that was when my head nerve problem started. The...
It's 2065, and when beta versions of the AI in people's heads start turning hostile and people with them start dying and disappearing, Reed will have to decide what to do with his, who seems to have developed feelings for him. In the meantime, he meets his dream guy and starts embracing the Art Deco counterculture he's always...
