This is an adult book written at an adult reading level, but it captures the same sense of wonder that you’d feel as a child, learning about a really cool animal or historic period at the same time.

Book Review: A/S/L by Jeanne Thornton
A/S/L by Jeanne Thornton is one of the first books I added to my TBR based solely on seeing it on a list of queer books coming out in April.
Book Review: A Gentleman’s Gentleman by TJ Alexander
This book is a reminder that not only have queer people always been here, but there have always been opportunities for queer joy, even when it wasn’t safe to be out.
Book Review: Proof by Adam Rogers
This book would have been so much more entertaining in the hands of an author like Mary Roach.
Book Review: Lustful Appetites by Rachel Hope Cleves
What if I told you that a book about food and sex, two of the more enjoyable things in life, was actually kind of boring?
Brick & Mortar Book Bingo Activities
This year’s Brick & Mortar Winter Reading Book Bingo challenge included five squares to be filled with special bookish activities instead of reading books. Here’s what I did for each!
Book Review: Keep Going by Austin Kleon
This is my third read of Keep Going (more on that later). I read it when it first came out, then again during lockdown, and I recently felt like it was time to revisit it in the face of Trump and Musk’s fascist government and how it’s crushing a lot of people’s desire to make and share art.
Book Review: They Bloom at Night by Trang Thanh Tran
If you can handle a book that can be very gross, pretty scary, and deeply sad, definitely give this book a read.
Book Review: Our Share of Night by Mariana Enriquez
Ultimately, Our Share of Night is another example of why I don’t give books a star rating. This is a clear book and reader mismatch.
Book Review: World of Wonders by Aimee Nezhukumatathil
I’ve come to really enjoy collections of short essays, in all formats. Whether it’s an ebook, an audiobook, or a print book, they’re a great way to fit in just a little bit of reading during a time where you might otherwise scroll social media.
