Book review: The Finest Print by Erin Langston
Cover of The Finest Print by Erin Langston; A bearded guy with an open shirt holds a woman in a dark teal dress as she leans up against a desk. Powered right through this one. Belle is the disgraced daughter of a judge, who wants to write. Ethan is a newspaperman who has worked his way up, and now randomly inherited a print shop, but one that is in significant debt. The solution? Penny bloods:…
Book Review: Summer Official by Rebekah Weatherspoon
A black girl dressed in black carrying a skateboard and a white girl in a white top and denim shorts with a cast on one arm are walking down a brightly colored street holding hands. I received this as an eARC on Netgalley This is a delightful Sapphic summer young adult romance. Heaven and Saylor, who have moved in close circles but not known each other well, despite Saylor’s quietly…
Book review: The Subtle Art of Folding Space by John Chu
The cover of The Subtle Art of Folding Space, which features hands holding chopsticks picking up multidimensional dumplings on a blue background. I received this as an eARC via NetGalley. I’m a long-time fan of Chu’s shorter work, so I was thrilled to read his first novel. This was absolutely delightful. Chu is a master of compelling prose, characters you care about, and worldbuilding that…

I absolutely loved this book. Run, do not walk.
Book review: Someone You Can Build A Nest In by John Wiswell
The cover of Someone You Can Build A Nest In by John Wiswell. Depicts Shesheshen, an all-black tentacled monster wearing a witch hat, with Homily a human woman, lit by firelight in the foreground. This is one of those novels I’m finally getting around to in my overly large TBR. And I’m glad I did. For a story ostensibly about a generations-long battle between a monster and a family trying to…

Book review: Rebel of the Regency by Ann Foster
The cover of Rebel of the Regency by Ann Foster, featuring a white woman in a white regency dress wearing a fetching hat with bright red and black flowers on it. The title is written in a font that recalls paint/graffiti. I received this as an eARC via Netgalley. This is a well-researched yet accessibly written popular history of Caroline of Brunswick. Rebel of the Regency re-inserts Caroline…

Book review: The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst
the cover of The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst. It features a gently lit cottage surrounded by brambles and flowers. This is a warm hug in the shape of a book. Durst noted in her acknowledgements that she hoped to write something that felt like drinking the good hot chocolate, and she absolutely succeeded. This is perfect bedtime reading. Just enough peril to keep it interesting, but at levels…

Book review: Humans: A Monstrous History by Surekha Davies
Read this as part of my exhibition prep. This is an engagingly written look at all of the different ways in which humans turn each other into monsters, how we handle difference, and how slippery the whole concept of “monster” can be. It’s a historical exploration of the idea of difference, and of monstrosity, and it looks at these things with a global outlook, and a commitment to noting where…

Book review: Bound by the Blood by Cecilia Tan
I read this as an eARC direct from the author. I’ve been a fan of Tan’s work for years. Yes, she’s really good at the smut part as a general rule, even when the specific type of smut in question may not hit one’s personal smut buttons. As one might surmise from the title, this particular story emphasizes blood play, so if that’s Not For You, you are forewarned. I would characterize it as being…

Book review: How to Be Okay When Nothing Is Okay
A picture of a slightly unhinged looking crocheted toy bear in a striped onesie where the stuffing is coming out of it vertically at the neck, on a blue background with confetti. I received this as an eARC from NetGalley. I’ve enjoyed several of her other books, so when I saw a new one was coming, I snagged it immediately and plowed through it. I grew up on the Muppets, and it warped/shaped…
Book review: The Gilda Stories by Jewelle Gomez
I received this anniversary edition as an eARC via Netgalley. A somewhat abstract silhouette of a woman surrounded by plants in shades of blue with a red moon and gown. This is a great example of a novel that I read back in college closer to when it was initially published, but revisiting it again is a significantly greater pleasure. When it came out it was groundbreaking, and this edition…

Book review: A Philosophy of Thieves by Fran Wilde
The cover of A Philosophy of Thieves by Fran Wilde, which features a masked female character leaping with style from an ornate window. I received this as an eARC via NetGalley. This is a delightful YA heist novel. Roosa Carnarvier (Vane) and her family are professional thieves, who, in post-apocalyptic Washington DC, perform heists (with strict contracts and rules) as entertainment for the…

Book review: The Nameless Land by Kate Elliott
The cover of The Nameless Land by Kate Elliott. Two characters nearly but not quite hold hands while looking at a fog that seems to envelop everything. I received an eARC of this title via NetGalley. I had never had the pleasure of reading one of Kate Elliott’s novels (despite enjoying her short work), mostly because my time for leisure reading was so limited that I spent over a decade shying…
Book review: Hello, Stranger by Lisa Kleypas
A dark haired woman wearing a black and white dress. The background is bright pink with white flowers. Really enjoyed this one. I’ve long been a fan of Kleypas. This one has the first female doctor in England, Garrett Gibson, and Ethan Ransom, a former Scotland Yard detective working for a governmental agency. Garrett is wonderfully straightforward, logically inclined, action oriented, and…

Book review: Bad Reputation by Emma Barry
The cover of Bad Reputation by Emma Barry, featuring a bright pink background and navy palm trees, with the book title in bright orange/yellow. This was a decidedly fun plane read. I picked it up a while back because someone on Bluesky had mentioned it as having a “himbo” male lead. Cole is a midlevel actor often cast as a himbo–he is more known for his abs than anything else. Maggie is the new…
