Writer Wednesday: Character Interview with Ia, Knives, & Brinn of Ignite the Stars & Eclipse the Skies

It's been a while since we've seen a Writer Wednesday post, but I'm really happy to be back with one (and a v entertaining one!) for Maura Milan's Eclipse the Skies! This is one of my favorite series of all time (amazing character dynamics! so much action! space glory!) and it's so exciting to be …

Eclipse the Skies by Maura Milan: A Heartbreaking but Perfect Ending (spoiler-free)

I am just. Wow. This was terrible and heartbreaking and ten levels of crushing, but it was also . . . pretty perfect for this series. It’s the type of book that makes me want to write fanfiction. I just need more of these characters, this world, this story. Even though it’s a perfect ending, …

Cover Reveal & Giveaway: Spellhacker, M.K. England’s Genre-Bending Sophomore Novel ✨

Today I'm so excited to host the cover reveal for Spellhacker--the sophomore novel from one of my favorite authors, M.K. England! Their debut The Disasters published last year and it was such a fun and queer space adventure full of high stakes and a loveable found family, I'm immensely excited to read their next book! …

Immunity by Erin Bowman: An Underappreciated Sci-Fi Thriller Duology

I read Contagion last year (spoilers ahead for Contagion, book 1, of course!) and enjoyed it, but frankly, I don’t think I appreciated this series enough back then. I think Contagion and the sequel Immunity bring something special to YA’s science fiction table. I’d categorize it as crossover fiction, branching YA and adult well. I …

Writer Wednesday: Character Interview with Characters from Rory Power’s Wilder Girls (+INTL Giveaway!)

I lied yesterday. Writer Wednesday is the second constant in my life, and I've been working on this specific post for months and I'm just SO READY FOR IT TO BE HERE. Have I been vague-tweeting about this for a while? Yes. Do you finally get to read it? YES. Today's Writer Wednesday post features …

Four Book Quadruplets, aka Grouped Book Recommendations on Steroids

I've been working on this post mentally for a very long time. Thinking of If You Liked . . . recommendations can be hard enough sometimes, but thinking of quadruplets can be hair-pulling. Which is why this is definitely not going to be a monthly feature. However, I've had these recommendations stewing around in my …

Latinx Science-Fiction & Fantasy You HAVE to Pick Up!

To be honest, I’m a bit disappointed in myself. I’ve only read three and a half (half for Don’t Date Rosa Santos, which I’m in the middle of reading) Latinx books so far this year. Which can be a lot, but once you factor in the fact that all four are ARCs and that I’ve …

Writer Wednesday: Author Interview with Olivia A. Cole on An Anatomy of Beasts (+Giveaway!)

My review of An Anatomy of Beasts just went up yesterday, but today I'm really excited to bring to you an interview with the author, Olivia A. Cole! Some of you might remember my interview with Olivia last year, so I'm very excited to bring you another interview with her! We're talking all sorts of …

An Anatomy of Beasts by Olivia A. Cole: Other Planets, Colonialization, and A Rich New World

I’ve been hyping this book up for myself for over a year, and I can’t believe it’s finally here! I absolutely adored reading A Conspiracy of Stars last year and have been anticipating this sequel for so long, so I’m so so happy that it’s in my hands now! Ahh! (Psst! There are a few …

If You Liked. . . #14: YA Science-Fiction Edition

There were so many awesome sci-fi novels coming out this month, and I can't help but throw some recommendations out and comps so you know whether you want to check them out or not! There are so many different branches of sci-fi that I feel like a lot of people don't recognize, from near-future to …
