Fantasy and horror books and blogposts
Can you believe it? We're officially halfway through my sabbatical, and it's really weird. I wanted to take a moment to check in and talk about the experience so far and where I'm at. Seattle is still pretty overwhelming. It's full of a bunch of amazing things! But I am a small city girl, largely,... Continue Reading →
Hey folks! The S.O. and I have arrived safely in Seattle. I'll do another post talking about some of the awesome stuff we saw on the roadtrip out, but we've had some upsets in our scheduling and I haven't had my computer this week (the S.O. ended up having a lot of virtual education to...

You may notice that I didn't post last week. Usually I give warning if I am not going to post, but honestly last week was an entire mess that I largely can't discuss and I've fallen behind in my blog queue given the whirlwind of June. My brother got married on the 21st, we bought... Continue Reading →
The S.O. told me that I should title this post "Why-A" and he's probably right because this is a question I find myself asking a lot. I read widely in Young Adult novels when this classification of books first started making an appearance, and really loved some of the stories I found there. But I... Continue Reading →
It is May and spring is here! I usually do a half-year check-in and I am probably still going to do that to speak directly towards my 2021 goals, which I'm pretty sure I probably had. I usually do? Anyway, this post is not that. This post is just a regular old check-in about life.... Continue Reading →
In case you missed it, I did a humongous thread on Twitter of feminist retellings and re-imaginings that I've loved in honor of International Women's Day last week! For ease of reference, I've transferred the list to blog form. https://twitter.com/skylit1/status/1368929129349996551 The original tweet, if you want it. Books The Gods of New Asgard (series) by...

I've become a lot more selective about what anime I can commit to as I've gotten older. A lot of times I will watch one or two episodes of something that really seems like a good concept and just can't get into it. And at first, I thought Erased was going to be one of... Continue Reading →
I said I wasn't going to do a post this week, since I'm on vacation, and this isn't one really. It's just I realized I hadn't done a personal post on here in a while. So I thought I'd take a minute to check in! 2021 got off to a rocky start, no surprise, but... Continue Reading →
Today we have a special post, a review of an ARC I recently received through NetGalley. The book is No Gods, No Monsters, by Cadwell Turnbull. It is forthcoming from Blackstone Publishing on September 7, 2021. LGBTQ+, BIPOC, Own Voices, Urban Fantasy, Caribbean SFF No Gods, No Monsters is a profoundly experimental work featuring time...

Back in 2020 I re-read the entire Kate Daniels series from start to finish in anticipation of the release of Blood Heir in January 2021 (reviewed in January's Reading Round-up). I also wanted to figure out what it is about Ilona Andrews' work that is so much fun to read, in the hopes of being... Continue Reading →
