Vel and Cae would like some time to relax after the events of the last book, but politics never stop, and they're summoned to Cae's grandmother's court. But throughout their journey and their stay, murder attempts, seductions, and more are thrown at them, and they struggle with trying to survive while also figuring out their new...
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...
Here we are, the last blog post of the year! It might be the new year by the time you're reading this, but still, it's my last 2023 post, and I guess I saved the best for last? Since I am talking about my favorite books from the year. (All of which are queer, btw! Love that!) I'm grateful to have found these, and all the other great books I read this year, because they brought me joy or...
It's actually become increasingly harder for me over the years to choose favorite characters from books because I don't really have favorites the way I used to. Which is not an insult to authors, they are still writing great characters! But it's more that I love the way they fit into their stories and the dynamics they have with other characters. I guess, I'm finding it harder now to separate...
My favorite books of the year! Who doesn't love talking about books they loved? Some of these were ones I'd been looking forward to, and they didn't disappoint. Some were sort of spontaneous reads. 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...

When Velasin is outed as gay, his political marriage is changed so that he will marry the woman's brother instead. But as soon as he arrives in Tithena, someone tries to kill him, and the threats don't stop there. As he comes to trust his new husband, they work together to figure out what's going...
Well, the world is still crumbling, so let's temporarily pretend it's not and talk about some good things! I played some more games! They're a good distraction. I mostly played Townscaper. It's been my go-to lately because it doesn't require a lot of focus but is still fun and lets me be creative. I've been sharing my builds on Twitter, so check there if you want to see them all! I also played...
At the beginning of the year, I made a blog post about upcoming queer sci-fi/fantasy books I was excited for, but I only included books set to release in the first half the year. I figured there'd be more I'd learn about later in the year, and what a shame that they wouldn't get to be on lists since they just weren't announced yet. So here we are, Part 2! Once again, there are so many books I...
