Diverse Reads: December 2019
This post is part of my diverse reads feature, where I list all the diverse books I’ve read in a given month. December was another awesome month of diverse reads for me.

Diverse Reads: November 2019
This post is part of my diverse reads feature, where I list all the diverse books I’ve read in a given month. November was the best month ever with every single book I read having queer main characters.

Book review: Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
Summary The Emperor needs necromancers. The Ninth Necromancer needs a swordswoman. Gideon has a sword, some dirty magazines, and no more time for undead bullshit.

She’s run all the way to outer space, where she’s taken a position as a “space janitor,” cleaning up ill-fated research expeditions. But no matter how far she goes, Rosalyn can’t escape herself. […]

Diverse Reads: September 2019
I still see many people on social media thinking there aren’t a lot of diverse books in adult SFF, that there aren’t many/no books by women, and especially by minority voices in SF. That’s not true though. They just don’t fall into your lap, they aren’t as talked about as YA books are. (I’m not […]
