Harrow the Ninth

Gideon the Ninth made my Top 10 Fav Books list from last year, so you know I bought Harrow the Ninth as soon as possible. And I'd like to extend a heartfelt thanks to Libro.fm for access to the ALC, so I could listen to it while following with the physical copy. This was a…

The House in the Cerulean Sea

For a hot second there, this book was everywhere. And the waitlist at the library for it is…intense. But I have to be honest, I officially added myself to that waitlist only after seeing @readingismagical and @tracycatherinereads rave about it. Took me awhile to get my hands on it, but here we are. And WHOA…

The Space Between Worlds

I’d seen a couple (though not as many as I think it deserves) reviews for this one saying that it was spectacular. And if you enjoy SFF, you know how hard it is to find a great standalone in the genre. Though I did recently read another really wonderful one, The Vanished Birds, if you…

Black Sun

I just recently came across some information about Roanhorse and her writing, in regards to Trail of Lightning and Storm of Locusts, that I feel like I need to share here before reviewing Black Sun. I say this because, honestly, my reviews of those two novels in her Sixth World series are incredibly positive ones.…

The Vanished Birds

I haven’t seen this one around much and I’m not sure I’ve seen any real reviews of it, but for some reason, I found myself drawn to it. I didn’t even really know what it was about, to be honest, other than a vague idea that it was a sci-fi standalone (a rare thing, and…

Cemetery Boys

This is one of those books that I knew I was going to read as soon as I heard about it. It seemed so original and right up my alley, interest-wise, and also that cover is really gorgeous. Plus, it was just about the most perfect book to cuddle up with on a cold Autumn…

The Only Good Indians

A few months ago, this novel blew up bookstagram - everyone was reading and reviewing it and, almost universally, seemed to be loving it. I am not really a horror person. In fact, I am the opposite of that. I'm a giant scaredy-cat and had trouble sleeping for weeks after watching The Ring in high school (and,…

The Night Masquerade (Binti #3)

Well, I knew after I had finished the second novella in this trilogy that I'd be getting to the third one sooner than I'd made it from book one to book two. Binti ended with a nice little wrap-up, making it easy to be satisfied and step away for a bit. But there was just…

The Nevernight Chronicle

Every time I pick up and start a new epic fantasy novel/series, it just feels like coming home. I have really spread my “reading wings” over the past years and found so many books that I have loved from so many different genres, truly. But my first love, my reader origin story, was always fantasy…

Monstress, Vol. 1: Awakening

Well, this is my first ever “real” graphic novel. I mean, I’ve read a couple others (Persepolis and Good Talk) but both were nonfiction/memoirs. So, while I really enjoyed them both, I feel like they didn’t full represent the medium completely. Maybe that’s a misperception on my end, but there it is. And the point…
