I'm back with more sci-fi/fantasy Christmas book recommendations! (And one Hanukkah book this time!) When I first started making these posts, I didn't think there were that many books out there, but it turns out there are actually A LOT. I am a mood reader, and last December, the mood to read SFF Christmas romances hit me strong, so I have a lot of those here. I also have a couple that aren't...
Cassia fled her home planet and life of royalty years ago, but now she's getting dragged back into it against her will, and it will up to the crew of the Banshee to help her. Political machinations and a planet on the verge of war make things complicated though, especially when it comes to her and Kane's feelings for each...

When they discover it might've been murder, they attempt to unravel the mystery, while also navigating Ben's internal struggles and the fact that Horatio is hopelessly in love. Meanwhile, Ben's ex starts unraveling her own mysteries with the help of three...
Happy Halloween! Even though I'm not actually doing anything to celebrate. It's just a normal Sunday for me. Last month I was telling everyone to watch Dragonheart (which you still should, if you haven't). This month I'm telling everyone to watch Sunshine (2007)! It was another rewatch, about 11 years since I'd last seen this one. It's such a fantastic sort of sci-fi thriller. It absolutely...
Reed should be safe after everything that happened in the last book, but he keeps thinking he sees Phil Rice around town, and his paranoia and anxiety are getting worse. Meanwhile, Mazarin can't seem to fit in with humans or with the other sentient AI she meets. And both of them struggle with confusing feelings and navigating romantic...
I know it's a bit late this year since October is almost over, but blog posts are timeless! And perhaps I'll add to this list in the future if I discover more slightly spooky stuff to recommend (which is why I included the "and more" bit, since I might end up adding podcasts or something), since who knows if I'll ever find enough in the future to make a whole part two. Anyway, I don't normally...

Adam, a loner dealing with depression and bullying, at first can't believe a hot football player wants to be his friend, but over time, the two grow closer and realize their feelings might even be...
In honor of spooky season, I decided to gather up some book covers with skeletons! If you regularly follow my blog, you may have seen a lot of these already, since I'm using a bunch of books I've read and a couple that I've used in other cover posts, like this Halloween Book Covers Tag, but there are a few new ones as well. There are lots of hand bones and skulls, but also a few full...
I try to group my quick review posts around a theme (or a series) as much as possible, so this time I’ve got four m/m fantasy romance books! One is historical fantasy set in our world, the rest are high fantasy set in made-up worlds. But all of these have a kind of similar vibe,...
