Book review: Six Crimson Cranes, by Elizabeth Lim

Tessa gifted me the hardback for this for my birthday (yes, yes, that was a few months back) and I finally got my sh#t together to read it, by buddy-reading it with Nikki. It was fun to be able to discuss it together and made the experience all the more enjoyable. This picture just does …

Review: A Master of Djinn, by P. Djèlí Clark

On this blog, we stan P. Djèlí Clark. I've yet to be disappointed by anything he's written, and his books are generally kickass, magic-filled, queer, feminist books. I had been looking forward to this for ages, and was just waiting for the audiobook (as I've read both other novellas in this universe in audio and …

Book Review: The Galaxy and the Ground Within, by Becky Chambers

I've owned this book for a while but despite absolutely loving Becky Chambers' every book I've read so far, I was not starting it. I think because it's the last in the Wayfarers series, which made me really sad. I could honestly read 20 more books in this universe, I dream of a sitcom set …

Small reviews: Lodestar Award for Best YA

Part 3 of the hugo series, after novellas and short stories: the Lodestar's not technically a Hugo but the ballot is the same. As an aside, I've decided I'm not going to review the Novels because I've not read about half of them. Harrow the Ninth requires me to reread Gideon because I forgot the …

Review: Seven Devils, by Elizabeth May and Laura Lam

I know I promised a review of this in my last wrap up, I did mean to post it quickly but time got away from me this week. Anyways... This was one of my favourite reads this year. I rarely do "one more chapter and then..." at 2am like I did when I was 12, …

Review: The Unbroken, by C.L. Clark

This is one of my highly anticipated books of the year, mainly because of all the talk about how queer it is (which it really is!) but what I did not expect was how dense and action packed it would be, so it took me an age and a half to finish it. Still, I …

Review: Project Hail Mary, by Andy Weir

I'm a big fan of The Martian - I watched the movie a few years back, promptly got the book, and loved it! I've rewatched the movie half a dozen times since then, too. So I kind of jumped on this new book almost immediately (or, like, as soon as the library would give it …

Review: Hellion’s Waltz, by Olivia Waite

Olivia Waite's Georgian sapphic romance series, Feminine Pursuits, are one of the very few books that are an instant buy for me. I did this with Waspish Widows, and I did it again with Hellion's Waltz, and no regrets! I'd do the same for another 10 more in the series. Louxor likes to check out …

Review: A Song Below Water, by Bethany C. Morrow

I had the audiobook for A Song Below Water on hold for months with the library, and then the physical book... and it only arrived last week or so (they had a copy but libraries were closed for the whole of winter, and I guess I wasn't the only one who wanted it!) So to …

Review: Seven of Infinities, by Aliette de Bodard

Seven of Infinities was on my TBR list since before it came out, I think, but I wanted a paper copy... Nikki gifted me a gorgeous one and I did a buddy read with Tessa, which was quite fun! I wanted to post the review on Friday but lack of spoons happened so... here we …
