If you pitch me two similar-sounding books, but one is queer? Then that’s the one I’m picking. And I can’t figure out why. Of course, it’s a given that representation matters in fiction – I’m not here to debate that; as far as I’m concerned, it’s a fact, not an opinion. This post isn’t about […]
As I explained in my last post, I decided my first rec list this Pride would revolve around the theme of Resistance & Rebellion, in response to the events going on in the USA and Hong Kong right now. I wish I could have listed more books written or featuring PoC, but I don’t know […]
Today my blog is ONE WHOLE YEAR OLD! It’s also the first day of Pride Month! It’s no coincidence that those two dates are the same – I started Every Book a Doorway so I’d have a place to talk about queer fantasy, and although health problems meant I wasn’t as active for my first […]
As Wyrd and Wonder wraps up for the year, instead of feeling sad about it, I’d rather look forward. There are so many amazing books coming out in the next six months! My tbr is unending, but all of these are books that will be jumping to the top once I get them in my […]
As Wyrd & Wonder comes to a close, it feels like a good time to gather together some of my favourite reads from the first half of the year. Not all of these were 2020 releases, though; plenty were amazing books I didn’t get to the year they came out. I’ve categorised them accordingly! 2020 […]

Okay. Okay. You know how they tell you, don’t judge a book by its cover? ABSOLUTELY JUDGE THIS BOOK BY ITS COVER. I know, I know, how can that be fair??? Is not that cover an absolute masterpiece??? It is, my friends, it is. So what book could live up to it? This one. Hell […]
Wyrd & Wonder isn’t just for books, and there’s one tv show that fantasy fans definitely need to hear about. So here’s my attempt to talk about this groundbreaking show and how much it means to me! * Tonight the finale of the first season of Motherland: Fort Salem airs on Freeform, just days after […]
So this is my first comic/graphic novel review for Wyrd & Wonder, and – look, listen. Listen. I have only one thing to say about this book. I LOVED IT SO MUCH!!! I don’t read comics or graphic novels very often – I’m picky as hell – but this was an unmitigated delight from start […]
phoenix art credit Sujono Sujono For my first Wyrd and Wonder review, I wanted to talk about one of my favourite books in all the world. The problem is that I have no idea how to describe it. Wolf has created an entirely new world that, while lacking the true otherness of, say, one of […]
