I sort of wanted to do something for Valentine's Day (not that I'm celebrating, but I've been blogging for over seven years, I need to get ideas from somewhere), so this is what I decided on! Because book covers are fun. I have to be honest, I was a little bit lazy and mostly looked through covers I already had on my blog from previous posts. But not everyone has seen all those...
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...
Is it just me, or are book covers getting better? I have SO many this year. These aren't in any order. I tried to group them together by similar art styles or color, just for a nice aesthetic. And I chose a few to talk about, but I couldn't talk about them all because I'd just be repeating how pretty everything is a million times. And most of them aren't just great art, they're also great text...
I have to preface this by saying I'm not criticizing other reviewers. Everyone is allowed to have their own opinion and to dislike a book for any reason! But it's things I've seen in reviews that got me thinking about this topic. This year, I've noticed a few of the books I loved got some negative reviews that complained about the plot being slow, or the plot being simple and not having much...
New year, same old everything else? For me, at least. I don't really have any news to report. I sent my sims on another vacation, since there was a Sims 4 Snowy Escape free trial. Unlike their Island Living vacation which was pretty chill, this one was full of snowboarding, skiing, hiking, and mountain climbing. But my sims are active sims, so they had an absolute blast. Every time a new Sims...
When Shrike, a fae, is crowned Oak King, he seeks out someone who can help him defeat the current Holly King he will have to fight, and the magic leads him to Wren, a human. As the two men spend time together, they grow closer, tackle problems that come their way together, and try to figure out how to save Shrike's life from future Holly...
There are so many amazing-sounding queer sci-fi/fantasy books releasing this year! It was hard for me to choose just ten for this post, but making these kinds of blog posts is a lot of work, so I had to make a limit for my own sake. Sharing excitement is fun though! I decided to go with just books releasing in January through June for this post, with the hopes that I will do another one for...
