Fantasy and science fiction books and blogposts
We are so organized in 2021. So put together with our reading reviews! May that carry over to 2022. May all of your various holidays be joyful, and bright if brightness is your thing. If you prefer the long deep dark of winter, snuggled up in as many layers as possible, hibernating for spring --... 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 →
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 →
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.

I've been reading a lot of romances lately, and I know those aren't everyone's cup of tea. Graphic sex is often a feature, and those hot and steamy scenes might be a fun time for me but they aren't for everybody. That said, I think there are some things that they do well, and some...

Hey, friends! It's been a while since I've done a Sunday Review, but here I am with this lovely ARC and a whole lot of feelings so strap in! Considering a few of my recent posts have been less than light-hearted, this should be a welcome reprieve. So first, let me preface this by registering... Continue Reading →
If you have been reading my stuff for a while, you may remember my first book. Â Child of Brii was and is a new adult urban fantasy/romance book. It was my first book that I ever actually finished writing, if not the first book that I started, and it holds a special place in my... Continue Reading →
