The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi

Once More Upon a Time: An Enchanting Romantic Fairy Tale by Roshani Chokshi

Hot and Sour Suspects by Vivien Chien

Gilded by Marissa Meyer

One Italian Summer by Rebecca Serle

Hostage by Clare Mackintosh

May 2, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

The Kaiju Preservation Society-5 stars I don't even know what to say except this was pitch perfect. It reminded me in a good way of "Old Man's War" and I cheered through the whole book. I loved everyone. I am so sad this is a standalone so we don't get to follow Jamie and his friends he meets in … [Read more]

BRB, renting all the slashers

My Heart is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones

May 2, 2022 by RaRaGabor 2 Comments

My first experience with Jones was The Only Good Indians a couple years ago, and from super eerie cover to last page, I was well and truly hooked. When I saw that his newest was available in Libby I jumped right on it – and I was not disappointed! Jade Daniels lives in the tiny town of Proofrock, … [Read more]

“I should just follow you clowns around…Find all the trouble in the galaxy that way…”

Eyes of the Void by Adrian Tchaikovsky

May 2, 2022 by Emmalita 2 Comments

Things are not going well when the second book in The Final Architecture series, Eyes of the Void, opens. In Shards of Earth, we learned the Architects were themselves slaves, forced to destroy worlds. But the contact Idris Telemer made with the Architect isn't stopping the destruction of planets … [Read more]

The Prince's Poisoned Vow

A queer steampunk political intrigue fantasy epic…. with zombies

The Prince's Poisoned Vow by Hailey Turner

May 2, 2022 by llamareadsbooks Leave a Comment

I wasn’t exactly sure what I was expecting when I started this book, but it definitely wasn’t an queer steampunk political intrigue epic with zombies. It’s the first in a series, so there’s a lot of worldbuilding. Without revealing too much, the land of Maricol is poisoned, and it requires a lot … [Read more]

You’d Be Lucky to Have Your Body Found

The Vanishing Triangle by Claire McGowan

May 2, 2022 by Pooja Leave a Comment

In the 1990s, eight women vanished from the same area in Ireland. Their cases are officially unsolved, their bodies mostly undiscovered, their stories untold. The trouble with true crime is that, with so many ongoing cases, it is easy to overlook individual ones, especially when the trail has … [Read more]

Only Mostly Dead

Shallow Graves by Kali Wallace

May 2, 2022 by Bothari43 Leave a Comment

I read Kali Wallace’s Dead Space last year and really liked it, so I picked this one out from the library without even reading the blurb. It was completely unexpected (no space!), but I liked this one too. Breezy was a pretty typical teenage (16/17) girl, dealing with high school, sisters, and a … [Read more]

    Yes! It’s downright offensive! I do love Lady Catherine

    I really enjoyed this one. I was particularly amused at Lady Catherine deBoutgh’s disgust at her assassin’s incompetence.
