Review | The Calculating Stars By Mary Robinette Kowal (Or, Why Bree Loves Mary) Mary Robinette Kowal may be an actual goddess. Her ability to convey complicated emotional dynamics in an engaging and entertaining way is pretty much unparalleled.

A #WorldCon76 Call To Action – #DiversityIs4Me
If I don’t speak truth I can’t seek truth. — Ursula K. Le Guin, The Eye of Huron
So much about the world these days leaves me feeling impotent. It seems like terrible things happen in a fire and windstorm that no amount of compassion can put out. For me, it can feel like a physical ache. It hurts in my heart and I feel it in my shortened, rage-filled breath. And yet, I often feel like this anger…

A Big Fucking Hugo Sigh
A Big Fucking Hugo Sigh
Well, I know it makes me naive and ignores a lot of fandom’s history, but damn if I don’t want it to be a haven. Science fiction and fantasy espouses some of what is best in humanity, and so I always hope that the people who love it will continue to espouse acceptance, love, and hope as well.
And so I made the best of the puppies.
And I forgave people who were internet jerks.
And people just keep…

Book Review: Dread Nation by Justina Ireland
Book Review: Dread Nation by Justina Ireland
Cover Description: “Jane McKeene was born two days before the dead began to walk the battlefields of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania—derailing the War Between the States and changing the nation forever.
In this new America, safety for all depends on the work of a few, and laws like the Native and Negro Education Act require certain children attend combat schools to learn to put down the dead.
But there…

To the Dude Who Cut Me Off in the Comics Shop
To the Dude Who Cut Me Off in the Comics Shop
Hi.
I guess you didn’t see me here, just three feet away from the shelf, browsing comics with titles C-H. Sup?
I know. You didn’t realize I was browsing. Why would I be? You saw me come in with my boyfriend or maybe you didn’t. But regardless, I am an anathema here. Or at least to you. A woman doesn’t belong a comics and games shop.
Here’s some fun trivia for you. I was born into nerddom, a…

ICYMI | Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi One of our favorite things at LTB is talking about books. On occasion, we do that face-to-face.
ANNOUNCEMENTS! Site Updates
This blog has been long in need of a revamp. Doing things solo can only get you so far and I’ve been fortunate enough in life to have friends who share my love of books and who, more specifically, love science fiction and fantasy. So, the TL;DR of this post is: I have a partner now and the site is revamping! Who is this new dude? Jacob Torres and I have been friends for almost a decade. We’ve…

Voting, Popularity, and Awards
It’s been a long week, made longer by world events. Needless to say, I turned to my books to keep me company while I’ve been riding out the storm. Books don’t want to talk about the merits of Trump v. Clinton, at least, not in explicit terms. Yet, a different kind of electoral strife hits the bookternet at the end of the year: awards season. The past three or four years in particular have had a…

Some thoughts on Everfair by Nisi Shawl
Some thoughts on Everfair by Nisi Shawl
I won’t mince words; I wasn’t a fan of Everfair. I wanted to be, but wasn’t. I got my copy in the mail and was so excited. I was ready to drop everything and start reading. I often have this feeling, but was spurred on by the promise of something truly spectacular and very rarely seen in western publishing. The idea of a well executed literary fantasy set in a steampunk version of Congo was like…

Review | A Little Knowledge by Emma Newman
Review | A Little Knowledge by Emma Newman
Where to start? First off, I’m about to get spoilery. So, if you don’t like to be spoiled. I suggest you watch my video about Split Worlds #1-3 and then go read them. They’re that lovely kind of bubble gum fun you only really get in certain sub-genres of SFF. I liked them. I suspect you will as well. In the fourth book of the series, we pick up with Cathy and Will as Duke and Duchess. They’ve…

Why I'm trying this out
Why I’m trying this out
If you follow me on YouTube, you know I decided to do a video every day this July (or at least, I’ve decided to try it). I wanted to provide some context because I think it explains a lot of things, especially why I’m doing this project and where I’ve been the last few months, other than lurking around the internet like a ghost. I wish I could make this a video, but honestly I don’t know if I…
