Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Books from the Past Ten Years on My TBR
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly blog meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. These are all things I can wholeheartedly get behind. This week’s topic is “Bookish Goals for 2024.” I’ve talked a lot about… Continue reading

Back Shelf Review: Comfort Me with Apples by Catherynne M. Valente
Welcome back to Back Shelf Saturdays, where I review backlist titles I didn’t get to read when they were first published. I do this every week to ensure I’m reading more than just newly released and forthcoming titles. For my purposes, a backlist title is at least one year past its release date.

The League of Lady Poisoners by Lisa Perrin
I’ve been on a bit of a nonfiction kick lately, particularly when the nonfiction books are tangentially related to my comfort zone genres. When I saw this beautiful little book about women poisoners, I knew I had to read it. When you think about poisoners, you probably think about women stirring rat poison into their… Continue reading

Graphic Novel Review: Night Fever by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips
One truth about me is that I can’t refuse a weird-fiction graphic novel. I just recently finished my first Brubaker and Phillips title, and I couldn’t say no to reviewing another.

But it’s also weird, right? At the end of the day, it’s an odd exchange of money and time and smiles. Enter the masterpiece that is Parasocial. Continue reading

Graphic Novel Review: Nature’s Labyrinth, Vol. 1 by Zac Thompson and Bayleigh Underwood
“Congratulations, you’re flourishing!” Criminals around the globe get this message along with an invite to an all-expenses paid cruise. The only ones who take the offer are those self-obsessed or deluded enough to believe they’re worthy of recognition. The cruise does not turn out as expected, to say the least, and the invitees all end… Continue reading

Graphic Novel Review: Dead Seas by Cavan Scott and Nick Brokenshire
It’s nearly impossible to be in the Star Wars and Doctor Who fandoms now and not know Cavan Scott’s writing. I loved the Tempest Runner audiobook and The Ninth Doctor comics (reviews to come), so I knew I wanted to try his original comic Dead Seas, now available as a full-collected volume. Dead Seas is… Continue reading

Earthdivers, Vol. 1: Kill Columbus by Stephen Graham Jones
Alternatively Titled: Reading Kill Columbus Over Thanksgiving Weekend Happy Native American Heritage Day! I didn’t intentionally go into Thanksgiving weekend trying to read a book by an indigenous author; I wish I could say I had. Stephen Graham Jones’ Earthdivers, Vol. 1, had been screaming at me for a while now, and I just wanted to finally read… Continue reading
