A third of the month has already passed but I still want to talk about my participation in Camp Nano. For those who don’t know, it’s an off-season equivalent of NaNoWriMo but you don’t have to get 50k words. You can set your own goal, so it’s more manageable for people who aren’t used to

ARC Review: Of Dragons, Feasts and Murders by Aliette de Bodard
Of Dragons, Feasts and Murders is a standalone novella in the Dominion of the Fallen series. You don’t have to have read the other books to enjoy this one. I’ve only read part of the series and could follow it easily. No previous knowledge required. The author was kind enough to send me an ARC
Best Reads of 2020 (so far)
We’re halfway through the year (even if it might not seem like it) so it’s time to review the goals I set at the beginning of the year. I set my Goodreads Reading Challenge at 30 with the intention to read more physical chonkers that are weighing down my shelves. I didn’t actually read that

Review: Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
I just finished reading Gods of Jade and Shadow when Mexican Gothic was added to Netgalley. I requested it, thinking I won’t be approved, but I was! So thank you to Netgalley, Milly Reid, and the publisher for letting me read this ARC. Even though I don’t read gothic stories, I knew what the genre

Review: Killian’s Dead by Josie Jaffrey
Killian’s Dead is a short 60-page story released as a prelude to Josie Jaffrey’s new series, Seekers. Reviewing a short story is pretty hard especially when you don’t want to spoil too much. So I’m not going into the story too much. Killian’s Dead is a suspense story, and it’s doing it well. Instead of
A WIP Update
This might be a first for me, a Work In Progress update where I talk about things going on and about the book I’m actively working on now without a reveal of any type. But I feel I need to talk about it. The Re-launch of Devil’s Deal I know the book hasn’t even been
Diversity in Publishing
I’ve been wanting to write this post for a couple of weeks, after an incident on Reddit that baffled me. But now it seems more urgent to address this and what we, as blogger and readers can do to help black authors and other minority groups (people of colour and LGBTQ+) who want their books
