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.)

The struggles, tragedies, and triumphs of three women in three time periods

Weyward by Emilia Hart

by Leave a Comment

My book club knocked it out of the park this month with Weyward.  Coincidentally,  Barnes and Noble chose it as this month’s speculative fiction pick.  Clearly we have excellent taste.  Emilia Hart has crafted a moving narrative across time by telling us the story of Altha Weyward in 1619, Violet Aryes in 1942, and Kate Aryes in 2019.  Altha, Violet, and Kate are Weyward women.  Born with the gift of being in tune with and connected to nature. For Altha, raised by her mother, another Weyward […]

Happy International Women’s Day to Esther Green

The Keeper's Six by Kate Elliott

by 1 Comment

First of all, Thank you, Emmalita, for The Keeper’s Six!  I’ve been rather bad about writing reviews but I want to share how awesome Esther Green is on International Women’s Day.  Esther is a badass, an adventurer, intelligent, determined, Jewish, a mother, a widower, a magical caster called a Lantern, is over 60 years old and still going on fantastical missions!  That’s the type of 60 year old that I hope to be. Esther Green is woken in the middle of night with an urgent call […]

Choosing to create a full life despite being imprisoned by circumstances

A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles

by Leave a Comment

A Gentleman in Moscow was my book club’s pick for February, otherwise I likely would never have picked it up.  Amongst our tiny group one person noped out, one person was struggling 100 pages in (unknown if they finished it), but I found myself curious and kept going.  While the writing could ramble, sometimes giving asides that have no pertinence to the story, I found myself drawn into the tiny world of Count Alexander Rostov sentenced to live the rest of his life at the Metropol […]

Murderbot and ART: relationships, trauma, and planets are the worst

Network Effect by Martha Wells

System Collapse by Martha Wells

by 3 Comments

Note: This is a spoiler-free review for Network Effect and System Collapse.  If you’ve read Network Effect dive into both reviews!  However, if you haven’t read Network Effect do not continue on to the review of System Collapse.  In order to discuss System Collapse I need to include information that is learned in Network Effect (which is kind of spoiler-ish if you haven’t read it yet).  If you have not read Network Effect yet, please enjoy its review.  When you’re finished come back for my review of System Collapse!

Ending the year with a cozy fantasy prequel

Bookshops and Bonedust by Travis Baldree

by 5 Comments

Last Winter Solstice, at our family book exchange, I received Legends and Lattes and adored everything about it!  Fortunately the follow-up book came out in time for my family to get it for me this year.  Bookshops and Bonedust is a prequel to Legends and Lattes and delivers an equally excellent story. When it was announced that Bookshops and Bonedust would be a prequel, I assumed that it would be about when Viv discovers coffee.  I was pleasantly surprised that this is not that book.  In Legends and Lattes, […]

I may have inadvertently started a new holiday tradition

Duke, Actually by Jenny Holiday

by 1 Comment

Last December I flew from California to Michigan for my sister’s nursing school graduation.  Shortly after arriving at the airport for my return trip it was announced my flight was delayed.  So I did the only sensible thing and perused the little bookshop for something to read.  I was in the mood for something light and if it was Christmassy, that was a bonus.  I settled on So This is Christmas by Jenny Holiday.  The book was exactly what I was looking for!  Due to […]
