A Riot in Camden
My relationship with urban fantasy is tenuous at best. It usually depends on the book or the author. So when I was suggested the Rivers of London series by Ben Aaronovich, I was hesitant. I only know Aaronovich from his works on Doctor Who books and the Blake’s 7 Big Finish audio drama series, of which I … Continue reading A Riot in Camden

Science women are perky bundles of rage.
I love Ali Hazelwood. She’s quickly becoming a person whose books I pick up no matter what just because her name is on the cover. What started as a spite read for me with The Love Hypothesis, is quickly turning into a full-blown love of the author’s writing. I wish I shipped Reylo so I … Continue reading Science women are perky bundles of rage.
The Door Is Open
I’ve mentioned my love of podcasts before in this blog. Usually when I’m talking about the latest Jonathan Sims novel. Of which there have been two and anyone who likes horror should go read them.

Afro-Latino voices: a retelling of a classic
It's ironic that Black History Month is also the shortest month in the year. As if people agreed that they would finally decided to give black people recognition but as little as necessary. My posts this month are nothing but I hope to shed light on books written by writers of color. There's been discussions … Continue reading Afro-Latino voices: a retelling of a classic

Then Saturday I heard some news frustrated me That will be next week’s Musings but for now my view for this month has shifted. … Continue reading History Repeating Itself
Ladies don’t tell
I have an odd para-social relationship with Alexis Hall’s books. On one hand, I love the sarcastic, self-deprecating mess that is Luc O’Donnell and his uptight, organized partner Oliver Blackwood from both Boyfriend Material and Husband Material. The books have such a gay Bridget Jones vibe that I adore them to pieces. However, I was … Continue reading Ladies don’t tell
