As I’ve said before, I like doing Book Bingo challenges because they help me discover books I might not have read otherwise. For example, We Are Not Strangers by Josh Tuininga.

Book Review: Spirals in Time by Helen Scales
As part of my continuing effort to learn at least a little bit about as many animals as possible in my lifetime, I recently listened to the audiobook version of Spirals in Time by Helen Scales.
Book Review: Godkiller by Hannah Kaner
Godkiller by Hannah Kaner scratched my epic fantasy itch while sticking to a more manageable page count, and giving me a more diverse cast of characters than I ever got back in the 90s and early 00s.
Book Review: The Jinn-Bot of Shantiport
The Jinn-Bot of Shantiport by Samit Basu is a science fiction retelling of the story of Aladdin. But it’s also a story about revolution. And a story about personhood. And there’s also a robot fighting tournament.
Book Review: What Feasts at Night by T. Kingfisher
At this point, I am pretty sure I have read everything T. Kingfisher has published and I’ll continue to do so. She basically never disappoints, and this is just one more in a series of hits.
Book Review: New Suns 2, Edited by Nisi Shawl
New Suns 2 is the follow-up to New Suns, both books being collections of speculative fiction by authors of color.
Book Review: Eyeliner by Zahra Hankir
Once upon a time, long before this book blog, I used to write a beauty blog. So when I heard there was a book all about eyeliner, I knew I had to pick it up!
Book Review: Feral Creatures by Kira Jane Buxton
Basically, however you felt about Hollow Kingdom, you will probably feel the same way about Feral Creatures. There. That’s it. That’s the review.
Book Review: The Fire Opal Mechanism by Fran Wilde
The problem with this book is the problem that many Tordotcom novellas have: it is too. dang. short. Everything feels rushed.
Book Review: What You are Looking For Is in the Library by Michiko Aoyama
What You Are Looking For Is in the Library by Michiko Aoyama (translated by Alison Watts) is a quick, easy read. If you’re looking for something relaxing and dare I say cozy, or if you’re looking to read more work in translation (especially by women!), this is a good choice.
