When rawball player Orok stands up for a stranger in distress at a bar, it becomes social media news, and the team's publicist offers them a deal in exchange for keeping up a fake relationship. Orok agrees because Alexo seems to really want the deal, but he doesn't want it to be fake, and they'll have some inner struggles and outside dangers to overcome before that can...
I did A LOT of watching stuff in April. I said Heated Rivalry changed my brain chemistry, and this is one effect of that. It reminded me how great this medium of storytelling can be and gave me the motivation to watch a bunch of things I'd been wanting to...

Grad student Sebastian needs a grant in order to continue his research to use magic to help people, but he gets stuck sharing it with Elethior, his rival whose family uses magic for harm. But the more time they spend together, the more Sebastian realizes Elethior may not be like his family, and feelings may be...
I read fewer books this year than I have probably since I started blogging ten years ago, so there's actually not ten books here. That felt like too many, and there were only six books that I rated 4.5 or 5 stars. Two of which are a duology and three of which were rereads (though I do still count rereads because if a book was that great more than once, it deserves recognition more than once). I...
Starting my end of the year posts today with book covers! Believe it or not, this isn't every book I read this year... just most of them 😅 As I always like to say, books can still be amazing with more basic covers, and ultimately the most important thing is what's inside the book, but I still like to appreciate pretty...
It's the second half of the year, and that means it's time to talk about more queer sci-fi/fantasy books I'm excited for! There's never a shortage of great sounding books coming out, is there? At least, these all sound great to me, and hopefully you'll still find something you're excited for too! (A few might already have released recently, but that's ok, just means we get to read them...

When Christmas discovers St. Patrick's Day is stealing joy from them, Kris (the spare prince) goes to find proof, under the guise of apologizing to his newfound nemesis, the prince of St. Patrick's Day. Kris can't stand the guy... but the more he gets to know him, the harder it becomes to deny his feelings and to resist the pull to do something for himself for...
I'm a little late getting this posted because I kept putting it off and off and then got distracted today. But it's here now! No improvements to my personal life, but I have a few other things I can talk about. I've tried listening to numerous fantasy RPG podcasts but, aside from Dungeons & Daddies, they never end up keeping my attention. I think I finally found another one though! It's...
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...
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!)...
