I like doing these opening lines posts. I never remember what the opening lines of books are, so it's always interesting to go back and see them. Also interesting to see the variety they have. I tend to choose books pretty randomly and just see what I get, so these aren't the ones I think are good or bad or anything, they just are. (Though I do like to choose a favorite, because why not?) As I...
I feel like I'm supposed to start this post by saying, "Happy New Year!" but that would feel disingenuous. This year isn't going to be any happier for me than the last one was. But this post isn't about the new year, so ha. Take that, 2024! It's about what I did in December. And one of the things I did was make art! And I'm so happy with how it came out. Seriously, this is what I was...
It's officially the second half of the year, and that means it's time for more queer sci-fi/fantasy books I'm excited for!

Couldn't even if I felt up to it, what with the pandemic and all. Anyway, unable to focus on much, I've watched a lot of baking shows on Netflix. They're a nice distraction, and I've rarely come across one I didn't like. "Is It...
As a fantasy lover who leans more to the paranormal/urban fantasy side of the genre, and who usually sticks to smaller or romance-focused stories when reading high fantasy, I don't tend to read a lot about your average scary, large, fire-breathing kind of dragon. I have, however, read some books about dragon shifters, humanoid dragons, half-dragon beings, and dragons who are otherwise somewhat...
Zephyr has come to the human realm and temporarily traded in his dragon form in order to acquire a hoard, but he has no idea how to blend in. Mateo, having been in human form long enough to lose his magic, sees an opportunity to use Zephyr to get more money for himself. But the more time they spend together, genuine feeling grow between...
