I’m happy to report to the few who care that February was the best month I’ve had in a while. Both with reading and life. See I turned 30 this month and that was very fun. I got to do many a fun thing with my nearest and dearest including trips away, lots of nice…
Review: The Terraformers by Annalee Newitz
***Content warnings for forced servitude, slavery, war and death of a parent.*** Science fiction for me has always been the language of hope and caution. The structure and basis of the genre is essentially what could happen with the scientific possibilities available to us at that time. And that can mean something as hopeful as…
Review: The Female Man by Joanna Russ
I recently shared my list of 30 books that I plan to read the year I turn 30 (this year). The Female Man is the first book off that list that I have chosen to read for the challenge. Heralded as a landmark piece of feminist science fiction, this book has been on and off…
Review: Stormsong by C.L Polk
***Content warnings for incarceration, war, mentions of torture, forced institutionalization, PTSD and homophobia*** Mild spoliers possible for book one, Witchmark. A month in the making but I finally have continued this series! When I finished Witchmark I never stopped thinking about the book all that week. And getting to this is something I wanted to…
January Wrap Up

Review: Rivers of London:Deadly Ever After by Ben Aaronovitch, Celeste Bronfmanm, Andrew Cartmel& José María Beroy
I’ve gone on at length about my love for the Rivers of London series. It still remains to be my favourite ongoing fantasy series and one of my main focuses in my reading last year was to finally be up to date on the books. Now I’m tackling the comics and graphic novels. And Deadly…
Review: Ithaca by Claire North
**Content warnings for rape, sexual assault, war, famine and gore.** This is quite a fun mark for my time here on the bookish internet. I started this blog and my bookstagram roughly within a few months of each other. And one of my first books I posted on the latter was my thoughts on The…
The 30 for 30 challenge
So I’m turning 30 soon. In about 2 weeks in fact. And I would like to mark the occasion. But only in the way I enjoy which is reading. I don’t particularly hold stock in the idea of aging or worry about anything to do with it. My existential crises tend to arrive when some…

Another visit to the Disc and the Discworld Project this week! This is the last of the 2022 catch up. From here it will be all 2023 Pratchett reads.
