A Sapphic Gothic Fairy Tale: Down Among the Sticks and Bones by Seanan McGuire
Bookshop.org Affiliate Link My favourite holiday of the year is Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon, particularly the October readathon. My roommate and I spend all day reading horror books and snacking.

Sea Monsters and Lesbian Pirates: The Abyss Surrounds Us & The Edge of the Abyss by Emily Skrutskie
Bookshop.org Affiliate Link The Abyss Surrounds Us and The Edge of the Abyss feel like one book that’s been split in two. And I mean that in the best way possible—one of my biggest frustrations with young adult fiction is when it doesn’t take the time to slowly and properly develop its themes, characters, narrativeRead More

With a curseRead More
Vic reviews The Wicked Remain (The Grimrose Girls #2) by Laura Pohl
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link The Wicked Remain by Laura Pohl is the follow-up to last year’s The Grimrose Girls and exactly the conclusion this duology deserved, which is to say it was clever, full of hope, with a clear love of stories and rage at their prescribed endings. While I will try to avoid spoiling eitherRead More
Nat reviews Errant (Volumes 1-3) by L.K Fleet
Amazon Affiliate Link I’m always impressed by books that are co-written, but a book with three writers?! A menage-an-author? The Errant series is written by L.K.
