In this, the Year of Our Collective Dumpster Fire 2020, I almost did not make it to my goal of 50 books. My reading suffered until late in the year when a new project with a friend gave it a necessary boost. Shameless plug-- if you're on Instagram, check out @Andanotherthingreaders for all your YA … Continue reading Fifty Book Pick Up: 2020 Edition

Moving the Goals Post
I probably ought to have just crossed out the 0 and replaced it with a 1 on my 2020 list of things I wanted to accomplish this past year, because I hit very few of them. I think that's probably true of everyone. I didn't, though. I erased the whole thing and we're going to … Continue reading Moving the Goals Post

We Set the Dark on Fire starts with a myth, of a sun god and a salt god, … Continue reading REVIEW: We Set The Dark On Fire by Tehlor Kay Mejia
REVIEW: Here and Now and Then- Mike Chen
One of my favorite parts of my Patreon page (which you can subscribe to HERE) is my book blogging monthly column, Canon Blast, where I read and pick apart a work in the SFF Canon.

Goals Post (Not the Sportsball Kind)
2018 has lasted an eternity and also somehow flown by at the same time. I'm not sure how that happens. I honestly can't remember what happened when. Rationally, and according to the google machine, I know movies like Black Panther came out this year, etc, but I'm also pretty confident that was like ten years … Continue reading Goals Post (Not the Sportsball Kind)
Year in Books 2018
It's December 31, which means it's time to take stock of what I read this year and pick some favorites. TOP FIVE (in no particular order): Annihilation-- Jeff Vandermeer Go ahead and watch the movie, but it's nothing at all like the book. Annihilation is the first book in the Southern Reach Trilogy, and I … Continue reading Year in Books 2018
