What an utter delight it is to pick up an anthology and to like pretty much every story and love a good number of them.

Book Review: The Last Cold Place by Naira de Gracia
If you’ve ever been curious what it’s like to do a field study, especially in a remote and/or inhospitable place, this book will be a great read for you.
Book Review: Hemlock & Silver by T. Kingfisher
If there’s one thing you need to know about me, it’s that I’m going to read whatever T. Kingfisher writes.
Book Review: Wild in Seattle by David B. Williams
I was at a nature journaling class this summer and someone mentioned they were reading Wild in Seattle by David B. Williams. I thought it sounded good, so when I saw a copy at a local bookstore, I picked it up.
Book Review: Automatic Noodle by Annalee Newitz
Few things make me as happy as sitting down to write a review of a queer book I genuinely enjoyed and want the whole world to know about.
Book Review: Bolero by Wyatt Kennedy and Luana Vecchio
This is a very personal multiverse story — what if you could go take the place of an alternate version of yourself? How many worlds would you have to travel through to find the one where you could be happy?
Mini Review Round-Up
I’m about a month behind on my reviews and it’s stressing me out.
Book Review: Lucky Day by Chuck Tingle
You might think it’s weird that a guy who is all about love writes horror, but to me, Tingle’s horror is very much like T. Kingfisher’s — terrible stuff is gonna happen, but it’s anchored by characters who actually care, and who you want to see survive.
Book Review: Hijab Butch Blues by Lamya H
Memoir is not a genre I reach for often, but I’ve actually found myself reading a lot of them this summer.
Book Review: Bed and Breakup by Susie Dumond
What’s worse — forced proximity to your ex, or realizing that all the beautiful work you’d done has been covered over with a bland remodel by the management company that ran the B&B in your absence?
