In honor of Pride Month, here are my favorite queer books: SFF (Adult & YA) Cassandra Clare’s Shadowhunter world has many queer characters, but I love Alec and Magnus especially in The Bane Chronicles, The Red […]

Check out my mystery TBR for October. As a fantasy writer, I mainly read SFF novels and don’t prioritize mysteries, which I also love, often enough.

In ARCs. Last month, I took a break from reviewing Advance Reader Copies and gifted books from authors/publishers so that I could focus on my personal reading goals. I grabbed a big library haul of anticipated reads and cleared out a couple old nonfiction books I’d had on my shelf for a while. It was […]
