For the month of September, I let people on my Instagram and Threads choose what books I should read. I narrowed the options down to 12 books on my shelves or Kindle. The top vote getter for the month was Clare Ashton’s Meeting Millie. I am so happy that it ended up winning, as thisRead More
Motorcycles, Magic, Monsters, and Love Letters: Road to Ruin by Hana Lee Review
Road to Ruin by Hana Lee was described to me as a Max Max: Fury Road-inspired fantasy with magic-fueled motorcycles, a dangerous wasteland, and romantic letter writing, and it lives up to the hype. I was instantly drawn in, and the whole thing was a romp that left me excited for the sequel. Not only does ourRead More

The Necessity of Movement: Cannon by Lee Lai Review
Cannon by Lee Lai is one of the best graphic novels I’ve read this year—a masterclass in building tension through narrative and illustration. The story starts at what seems to be a point of maximum tension, with the eponymous character standing in the carnage of a destroyed restaurant or cafe. We do not know which it is, where we are, or why it’s comeRead More
Power, War, and Self-Knowledge: The Weavers of Alamaxa by Hadeer Elsbai
The Weavers of Alamaxa picks up right where the previous book, The Daughters of Izdihar, left off—on a giant cliffhanger, so if you’re wary of spoilers for book one, read no further! Daughters ended with Nehal abducted and Giorgina an escaped prisoner. The Daughters of Izdihar have been disbanded by the corrupt government, and weavers,Read More
An Instant Classic of Sapphic Historical Fiction: The Safekeep by Yael van der Wouden
Admittedly, I am extremely late to the game when it comes to Yael van der Wouden’s 2024 debut novel The Safekeep (Simon & Schuster); however, I now regret not picking this one up sooner. The Safekeep has the lasting impact of an instant classic alongside the gripping and propulsive plot of any good story. Set in 1961 inRead More

Fortunately for me, I received an advance copy of Lady Like by Mackenzi Lee (out September 9th),Read More
