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… Continue reading Harrow the Ninth

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… Continue reading The House in the Cerulean Sea
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… Continue reading The Space Between Worlds
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.… Continue reading Black Sun
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… Continue reading The Vanished Birds
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… Continue reading Cemetery Boys
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,… Continue reading The Only Good Indians
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… Continue reading The Night Masquerade (Binti #3)
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… Continue reading The Nevernight Chronicle
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… Continue reading Monstress, Vol. 1: Awakening
