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: Opening Lines (4)

Bookish Musings: Opening Lines (4)

I'm back with more first lines of books! As I have said many times, I don't think the first line is the most important. I don't think most people are going to stop reading if the first line isn't amazing. But I still think it can be fun and interesting to look at them.

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...

Book Recs: 10 Queer Christmas-Themed Sci-Fi/Fantasy Books

I'm back with more SFF Christmas book recommendations! Earlier this time, in case people need them for readathons or are already feeling the holiday spirit. Also queerer! My other posts, which I'll link to below, have lots of queer books too, so check those out if you're looking for more, but I decided this time I wanted them all to be queer. They're all m/m, but I went with a broader title so...
