It's Called A Flush by Deniigiq
Flush: Chatlog by Deniigiq
My brother is an OG-we-had-the-Darth-Vadar-Cases-for-our-action-figures Star Wars fan. One of the only things my brother says he will never forgive my mom for is falling asleep in the theater when she watched A New Hope for the first time: In her defense, she was 16, and leaving the house childless … [Read more]
The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle
As a huge fan of Doyle, and knowing the influence this book has had on fantasy, I saw an edition of The Lost World from a printing in the early 1970s at a used book store and immediately purchased it. Oy, what a mistake. I am aware that Holmes has been accused of being misogynistic and there are … [Read more]
Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo
Apparently 2022 is the year I decided to become a Leigh Bardugo fangirl. So far I’ve read the Shadow and Bone trilogy as well as the Six of Crows duology from her Grishaverse, and now without even planning it I’ve read another Bardugo novel.

The Tiger Came to the Mountains (The Trespass Collection, #1) by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Wildlife (The Trespass Collection, #2) by Jeff VanderMeer
The Backbone of the World (The Trespass Collection, #3) by Stephen Graham Jones
Stag (The Trespass Collection, #4) by Karen Russell
A Righteous Man (The Trespass Collection, #5) by Tochi Onyebuchi
Bloody Summer (The Trespass Collection, #6) by Carmen Maria Machado
As mentioned in this post's title, I saw these covers and immediately went OOOOH. Click click click. Free? Okay! Also, the idea of various genres of story that deal with nature and wildlife clashing with humans appeals to me. I did four of them by audio, and all four narrators were excellent (even … [Read more]
Magic Bleeds (Kate Daniels, #4) by Ilona Andrews
The conflict in this one had some serious stakes, and the bad guys were seriously creepy/scary. The authors pair that really well with the relationship conflict Curran and Kate are having. This is probably the most action-packed of the books so far (and *action* packed, cough wink). The book … [Read more]
