We have had some ridiculously gorgeous cover reveals in the last little while – so pretty I just had to showcase them! It doesn’t hurt that these are all from my most-anticipated list, as well! Once I picked my jaw up off the floor, I realised that A Dark and Hollow Star‘s cover reminded me […]
Pride Month’s coming to an end, but that doesn’t mean the pride stops! I’ve talked a bit already about what books I’m looking forward to in the rest of 2020, but I thought I’d put together a list of the upcoming queer stories I’m most excited for – the books that’ll carry our little queer […]
More and more, we’re having an easier time finding cis queer characters in Fantasy – not an easy time; there’s still not enough of them, and publishers often don’t advertise the fact that a book is queer. But there’s more than there used to be, and the number’s steadily increasing. It’s much harder to find […]
Shamelessly nabbing the idea from Rainbow Reads (which is a fantastic book blog for queer fiction, and if you’re not subscribed to their posts, you should be!) I’m going to rec a Fantasy book for each of the stripes of the Pride flag. Rainbow Reads used the original Gilbert Baker flag + the new brown […]
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 […]
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC! Wow. I finished this book just a few minutes ago, and I’m reeling. In the best way! But I’m not at all sure how to describe what I just experienced. First off, Phoenix Extravagant took me completely by surprise; it was not the book I […]
This book was so beautiful…and so messy. I went in wanting to love it so badly; it sounded like it had been written for me! But it ended up being a serious struggle to finish, and to be honest if it had been any other book I would have DNF-ed it. I gave this one […]
Burn the Dark was first self-published back in 2015, and published this January by Tor. I actually got to read a bit of the self-pubbed edition, so I know that Hunt tuned down the horror and gore for the new version, for which I’m grateful. The original prologue was nightmarish. But even this new edition […]
