| Another brilliant entry in the Maisie series by Jack Jackman. This puts Maisie her in the Sahara and pits her against serpents, scorpions, and... well, not really villains, but certainly people behaving rather badly. Meanwhile, she come face to face ...more | |

| A twisty, thrilling, stay-up-late-to-finish-it sci fi samurai story with a heroine in her 50's and feeling it. The kind of book where you go, "Wait, I'm only halfway through?" in the best possible way. ...more | |

| Wonderful. A tale of greed, piety, disaster and unrest, and connection, narrated in a brilliant Jane Austen-esque third person semi-omniscient style. I l adored it. This may be the best book Leckie's written since The Raven Tower, and that's a very h ...more | |

| This is a delightful horror novel (which is pretty much a term I only apply to T. Kingfisher books.) A creepy, atmospheric historical Southern gothic with a wonderful main character, and a great twist. Also, I feel it is important to note that it inv ...more | |

“But even if I found somewhere to hide, how long would it be before my stepmother showed up with a clever disguise and a shiny red apple? I’d probably end up lying in a glass coffin until the trump of doom. Or at best, I’d find myself engaged to a different prince. One with a tendency toward necrophilia. The coffin kissers are the worst.”

“Your cat,’ Ari tells her, ‘keeps dropping on my head.’ ‘Oh,’ Chloë says. ‘Yeah, I’m sorry. He does that. Usually only with people he really likes, though.’ ‘It’s amazing! Why – no, what I mean is, how? How does he do that?’ ‘He perches on the door lintels, waiting for someone to come through.’ ‘Amazing,’ he repeats, peering at the narrow beam atop the doorway to the kitchen. ‘They’re only, like, half an inch wide.’ ‘He’s very graceful.’ ‘Cats are such fantastic creatures, don’t you think?’ He continues to stare at the lintel, as if willing it to divulge its secrets.”
― Love Bites: A laugh-out-loud queer romance with a paranormal twist
― Love Bites: A laugh-out-loud queer romance with a paranormal twist
“I once read somewhere that all cats are little Buddhists. They attempt to reduce your attachment to material possessions by destroying them.”
