Fantasy and horror books and blogposts
Happy belated Thanksgiving! I was traveling a lot in November and also getting back to dayjob things, so my reading fell off slightly. That said, I got to enjoy some lovely stories, and here they are. Paladin's Hope by T. Kingfisher I've been reading this series since it started. Set in the same world as... Continue Reading →
Happy Halloween!! It’s spooky season so here are some great reads, both spooky and otherwise. And if you need more spooky recommendations I had a whole list of my favorite horror reads over 2021 that came out earlier this month, so go check that out. Let’s go! A Dowry of Blood by S.T. Gibson I've... Continue Reading →
I've not been reading a lot because I've been writing and editing so much, and otherwise going on adventures. But here is my brief and belated list for the month of September! Sword Stone Table I've not been reading as many short stories as I'd like this year, largely because what time I spend in... Continue Reading →
I've read so many good books over the last two months, and I wanted to share now that I'm settled in enough to collect my thoughts! I'd recommend every book on this list, depending on what you're looking to read next, but wow was my reading all over the place this summer. So in no... Continue Reading →
June has been an absolute riot of activity, and I almost didn't get this post written. My brother got married, we're planning for our trip, we bought a car somehow??? The mechanics of buying the car are of course understood but the buying of the car was kind of a surprise. Anyway, there's a lot... Continue Reading →
Back in early May I foolishly asserted that I wasn't sure I was going to have anything for a May round-up. And then I read some of my favorite books this year. Six of Crows/Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo Let's start with the big names. These two books are included in the novels used in... Continue Reading →
April showers bring May flowers, and this month's Round-up has no theme to speak of! We've got horror. We've got regency romance. We've got cli-fi. We've got epic fantasy that was not, in my opinion, YA. I was kind of all over the place, so enjoy! Devolution by Max Brooks If you liked World War... Continue Reading →
It's time for another ARC review! This week, we have a forthcoming young adult climate fiction novel for your consideration. The book is The Ones We're Meant to Find and it's forthcoming from Roaring Brook Press, out on May 4, 2021. Young Adult, Climate Fiction, Science Fiction. This story is told through two viewpoint characters.... Continue Reading →
It comes as no surprise to longtime readers of the blog that I love stories which adapt old myths, especially if those stories are told by women. I have a lot of feelings about how all the old European mythologies -- the Greek, the Roman, the Norse, the Celtic -- have been filtered through the... Continue Reading →
Some of my favorite reads of the year so far, strongly leaning to romance, fantasy, and urban fantasy. A Witch's Heart by Genevieve Gornichec A long post about this book is coming next week, and I also mentioned it in my feminist re-imaginings roundup last week. Obviously I really, really liked this book. It's probably... Continue Reading →
