This post is a bit late, so some of these books are already out, but that just means you can immediately start reading them if they sound good to you! I haven't been on bookish social media much lately, so I had to do some searching to find these, and I was worried I'd have a hard time finding ten books to use. Instead I had a hard time narrowing the list down! Almost all of these are...
Alexios is a prince with an impending political marriage he doesn't want, especially when a strange, beautiful man saves him in the forest. Auro is a god of spring, he and his brothers cursed to only awaken during their assigned season. But as the two men grow closer, the more motivated they become to figure out how they can stay...
I've decided I'm going to focus on positive things for this month's update. So first I have some art! I made fanart for I Was a Teenage Exocolonist. It started in December 2023 when someone posted on Reddit like, "I've never played, but this subreddit keeps showing up on my feed. Ask me about the game, and I'll pretend I know." Someone asked who Noctilucent should end up with, the person answered...
Denver is an autistic, nonbinary pie blogger who doesn't fit in and feels like xe is hated by everyone in xyr small town. But when an alien invasion happens, xe teams up with a few people, including a cute bartender xe just met, to try and survive and maybe even stop the...
With the rest of the pack busy, Wade is sent to Boston to deal with the situation when the pack there asks for help. The turf war he finds isn't that surprising, but the selkie clan leader he finds himself drawn to...
It’s the first month of the year, and I was thinking, what better time for a post about the first lines of books? So that’s what I’m doing! It’s getting hard to keep track and not repeat books when I’ve done this so many times. You’d think it wouldn’t be that hard, considering I’ve must’ve...
Happy new year, I guess? For me it's just new year, same problems. But this post is about 2024 still! Not that I have much to say. I didn't do anything for the holidays, so I had a standard month. Worried about health things that there just is no solution for. At least, not with this country and the healthcare system and my living situation being what it is. I made some art though! Nothing...
This list is maybe a little different than usual because it only has six new books, and the other four are rereads. Turns out I did more rereading this year than I thought! But I feel like any book good enough to make me love it multiple times deserves to be praised multiple times, and these were my genuine ten favorite books this year. So without further ado, here they are, plus a few...
I wasn't going to do a top ten characters post this year, but then I remembered it would be a great excuse to talk about Gale from Baldur's Gate 3... So I'm doing a top ten characters post! I only have seven, it's just easier to keep the title and picture consistent each year. Also I'm going to be a bit lazy and copy+paste quotes from my reviews for some of the character descriptions. Work...
It's that time again for book covers! I think I have fewer than usual this year, believe it it not, since I read fewer books. Still have plenty though! I've said before and will say again that a book doesn't need an expensive, perfect cover. I would rather something basic or a stock photo than an AI cover. (If you don't believe me, check out my favorite books post that will come out soon!)...
