Review: The Hate Project by Kris Ripper

Oscar is a grouch. That’s a well-established fact among his tight-knit friend group, and they love him anyway. Jack is an ass. Jack, who’s always ready with a sly insult, who can’t have a conversation without arguing, and who Oscar may or may not have hooked up with on a strict no-commitment, one-time-only basis. Even …

ARC Review: She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan

Mulan meets The Song of Achilles in Shelley Parker-Chan's She Who Became the Sun, a bold, queer, and lyrical reimagining of the rise of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty from an amazing new voice in literary fantasy. In a famine-stricken village on a dusty yellow plain, two children are given two fates. A boy, greatness. A girl, …

ARC Review: Role Model (Game Changers #5) by Rachel Reid

Troy Barrett has been freshly traded to Ottawa after calling out Dallas Kent during a team practice. He wants to be a better person, and the weird, scrappy energy of the struggling Ottawa team seems like the place to...well. It seems like the only place that will have Troy right now. Fortunately the Ottawa team …

June Wrap Up: The Month of Loki

Hi all! Welp -- it's officially halfway through the year and I can't believe it. Time has flown by so fast when you're stuck in lockdown, let out for a month, and then back in lockdown again. How has everyone else's half a year been? What's gotten me through this month in particular has been …

Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag

I just realised it's almost July when I saw a whole bunch of bloggers posting the Mid-Year Book Freak Out tags. I swear, it was March two days ago?? Speaking of the mid-year, how has your first half of 2021 gone? For me, it's been a lot of working and playing video games, mixed in …

Review: Subtle Blood by KJ Charles

Will Darling is all right. His business is doing well, and so is his illicit relationship with Kim Secretan--disgraced aristocrat, ex-spy, amateur book-dealer. It’s starting to feel like he’s got his life under control. And then a brutal murder in a gentleman’s club plunges them back into the shadow world of crime, deception, and the …

Convincing you to read my favourite books based on the first line

Hi all! So there's a trend going around BookTok at the moment where people "convince" you to read books based on the first line. I thought this was such a great idea that I had to make my own post about it! But I'm going to be featuring my favourite books. Hope you find a …

April and May Wrap Up: The Months I Missed

Hi all! I'm a bit late with this wrap up -- well actually, two wrap ups! -- but I guess better late than never! From April to May, I worked full time, which is why I read so little in April, but improved in May. I didn't read as much (especially in April) which was …

Queer SciFi Books I Want To Read

Hi all! For years, I have been adamant that I hate science fiction novels. I just could never get into them, no matter how intriguing I find space and aliens, and all the classic scifi tropes. I probably dislike the genre so much because there's so much action involved and I really dislike action scenes …

ARC Review: One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston

For cynical twenty-three-year-old August, moving to New York City is supposed to prove her right: that things like magic and cinematic love stories don’t exist, and the only smart way to go through life is alone. She can’t imagine how waiting tables at a 24-hour pancake diner and moving in with too many weird roommates …
