For ReviewA handful of review titles this week, including:
A Rare Find by Joanna Lowell
When an aspiring archaeologist teams up with her childhood enemy for a treasure hunt, they find it impossible to bury their growing feelings, in a charming queer historical romance from the author of A Shore Thing.
The Bone Raiders by Jackson Ford
The start of a no-holds-barred, action-packed fantasy series from the always irreverent Jackson Ford where a group of charmingly-named Bone Raiders harness the power of gigantic, fire-breathing lizards to defend their homeland from an invading enemy.
Blood and Embers by Jordan Michelle
A nonbinary butch/femme relationship with tropes such as fake fiancée, enemies-to-lovers, and found friends along the way
Among the Burning Flowers by Samantha Shannon
With the awakening of fire-breathing dragons, Among the Burning Flowers sees the first sparks of danger that threaten to consume the world in The Priory of the Orange Tree.
Currently ReadingThis week is hard, because I really want to dive into Shannon’s new book, but I have ARCs with release dates looming, so I’m just starting Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by Victoria Schwab; I have a series to catch up with, so I’m reading the next 4 episodes of The Dominion and the Sugilite by B.J. Frazier; and because I’ve been craving a chonky epic fantasy mass market paperback, I’m reading Acacia by David Anthony Durham.
