Cozy fantasy and Sci-fi are my self care reads. I love a good magic system and dragons are always welcome. I like my Sci-fi LGBTQ+ positive. YA and Romance fill a sweet spot. And I never underestimate good children's fiction! (Learn more about this Cannonballer: Dome’Loki's Quick Questions interview.)

Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

by 1 Comment

Red, White & Royal Blue has been on my to read list for a while as Cannonballers have steadily given it positive praise.  Happy to report it did not disappoint.  I do enjoy an enemies to lovers story and McQuiston delivers with Alex Claremont Diaz, son of the first female President of the United States, and Henry, Prince of Wales.  Set in a fictional 2020 (that I would very much like to trade for our own 2020), Alex is in his final year of college, […]

“In the stories, there was a sense of justice. Everything had a purpose…I thought if those heroes and heroines from the stories could keep going forward into the darkness, so could I.”

Cytonic by Brandon Sanderson

by 1 Comment

Cytonic is the third book in Brandon Sanderson’s “Skyward Series”.  Here are reviews for book one Skyward and book two Starsight .  In my review for Starsight I wondered if the pandemic would affect Cytonic being released in late 2021, fortunately through what sounded like a lot of hard work editing and deadlines, he and his team succeeded.  When I set out to read Skyward I thought it was a standalone novel and had mixed emotions to find out it wasn’t.  Excited because there was more but a little […]

Belated 2nd Thank You to llamareadsbooks!

Two days before Christmas, there was a book shaped box waiting when I got home.  Having already received Stone, Sword, Table: Old Legends, New Voices I was not expecting a second Cannonball Book Exchange but llamareadsbooks went beyond my list of title suggestions and choose A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske too!  In addition to specific titles, I had put forth categories, one of which was LGBTQ+ romance.  I eagerly look forward to this book which T.J. Klune blurbed as, “Sublime prose, top-notch world-building, delightfully queer”. […]

“Well someone has to marry him, said the Emperor.” Part space opera, mystery, and romance, all of it captivating.

Winter's Orbit by Everina Maxwell

by 10 Comments

Winter’s Orbit came on to my radar through Cannonballers and then I noticed my independent bookstore featuring it as a staff pick for Pride month.  It went on my book wish list and I got it for my birthday! In the far distant future there are multiple galactic civilizations and they are all connected through ‘the link network’ governed by the Resolution.  Trade happens through the link and having the Resolution in place means that no invading force can use the link to attack another […]

Thank you, llamareadsbooks!  Emmalita’s review got me quite interested in Sword, Stone, Table: Old Legends, New Voices since I’ve always liked Arthurian myths and retellings.  As I’m working on improving the diversity of the voices I read, this anthology of “gender-bent, race-bent, LGTQIA+ inclusive retellings” from a diverse group of authors will help with that.  I’m looking forward to reading this next year 🙂 Giving and receiving books is the best way to celebrate the holidays!  Merry Book Exchange!

The Superheroine duo is now the foreshadowed Heroine Trio!

Heroine's Journey by Sarah Kuhn

Haunted Heroine by Sarah Kuhn

by Leave a Comment

Heroine’s Journey and Haunted Heroine are the third and fourth books in Sarah Kuhn’s fun ‘Heroine’ series.  Demons breached our dimension and some humans gained powers as a result.  Set in present day San Francisco and surrounding areas, Aveda Jupiter and her best friend Evie Tanaka have become the superheroine darlings of the city.  Aveda’s telekinesis combined with fighting prowess and Evie’s ability to create and throw fire have made them a fantastic duo.  The road to get there has been rough as they each had […]
