All Hallows’ Reads: Books for Halloween!
Some of my fave spooky recs!
Genre: Contemporary or Urban Fantasy
Watch The Last Sun Rise: The Hanged Man by K.D. Edwards
Edwards has done the impossible: Hanged Man is EVEN BETTER than Last Sun!
Vampires, Pocket-watches, and Magical Baked Goods; The Burial Club by Parker Foye
The second in the Love Has Claws series, Burial Club is set in the same world as Nine Years of Silver, but slightly earlier in the timeline, in a different place and with different characters. None of this disappointed me, since Nine perfectly encapsulated Briar and Quinn’s story; a direct sequel, or any other continuation […]
One of this decade’s latest and greatest: The Imaginary Corpse by Tyler Hayes
Gods above, this was one incredible ride! I finished it in just under 24 hours – and it only took me that long because I had to break for Monday’s workday. But Imaginary Corpse is pretty literally unputdownable. My mind is so blown. Imaginary Corpse is the book I didn’t know I wanted. No: didn’t […]
Fighting the Future, For the Future: The Heart of the Circle by Keren Landsman
I received this book for free from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I closed this book just a few seconds ago as I type this, and my head is pounding about as hard as my […]
fall into fire, rise like a phoenix: David Mogo, Godhunter by Suyi Davies Okungbowa
Okungbowa has done something special here.
This book will put a spell on you: Darkling by Brooklyn Ray
Wow do I have thoughts about this one. Like – let me get it out of the way and say that this is beautifully written (seriously, Ray’s description and pacing and tone and everything seduced me looong before we got to the sex scenes); the characters are fucking awesome; the magic is breathtaking; the worldbuilding […]
Queer Magic and Finding Your Place: Mooncakes by Suzanne Walker & Wendy Xu
I received this book for free from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. This a wonderful graphic novel that I read in a single setting – I couldn’t put it down, and had no desire to! Mooncakes felt […]
The Road So Far: The First Half of 2019 in Books
In 2016, I managed to read 300 books. I’m pretty damn proud of that. But getting my first job – part-time that became full-time – plus various health issues and actually attempting to have some kind of social life – all slowed me down a lot. This year has been especially sucky in terms of […]
