Cover of A Song to Drown Rivers by Ann Liang Anticipated 2024 Speculative Fiction Book Releases

Though this is later than usual, I once again scoured the internet looking for information on speculative fiction books that are scheduled for release this year and put together a list of works that I wanted to highlight. Just like the last few years, it was hard to keep the number of books featured in this annual post to a somewhat reasonable number given that there is so much coming out that sounds interesting. Yet after finding as much as […]

Cover of Cassiel's Servant by Jacqueline Carey Favorite Books/Media of 2023 & Year in Review

Happy (very belated) New Year! I had hoped to have this post up much earlier, but I got a bad cold starting on Christmas Eve and it just would not go away. I don’t think I started to feel normal again until about halfway through January. But late as it is, I could not pass up the opportunity to discuss my favorites of 2023 since I read some wonderful books and found something else fantasy-related that I absolutely love (which […]

Cover of Rose House by Arkady Martine Anticipated 2023 Speculative Fiction Book Releases

For the past few years, there have been so many speculative fiction books that sound wonderful that it has been difficult to narrow down a list of anticipated releases to a somewhat reasonable number.

(And of course, there were some books that were already on my […]

Cover of The Final Strife by Saara El-Arifi Favorite Books of 2022 & Year in Review

Happy New Year! Last year was another not-so-great year in a lot of ways, and the last couple of weeks included a storm that knocked out our power for two days and was overall an unpleasant experience. But I also got to visit a cat cafe and spend time with some adorable kitties as an early Christmas gift, and as usual, I read some wonderful books. One of the biggest highlights of 2022 was the eleventh annual Women in SF&F […]

The Tangleroot Palace by Marjorie Liu - Cover Image Review of The Tangleroot Palace by Marjorie Liu

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. The Tangleroot Palace contains six short stories and one novella by New York Times bestselling author and comic book writer Marjorie Liu, each of which is followed by her reflections on it. The author’s introduction mentions that she could not resist making some edits to these previously published stories, but they remain essentially the same as they were beforehand. I’d never read any of these stories before this book so I […]

Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan - Book Cover 30 Anticipated 2022 Speculative Fiction Book Releases

One good thing about the past few years has been the abundance of amazing speculative fiction books, and yet again, it was difficult to narrow down my list of 2022 releases that sound promising to a somewhat reasonable number. Like last year, I searched the web for early reviews, excerpts, and information from the author and/or publisher and came up with 30 books. (And of course, that wasn’t necessary for some of these because I’ve loved the author’s other works […]
