Review: Backstabbers by Eliza Jabore (Release 06/02/2026)
I devoured this book, and would have finished it in one sitting if I hadn’t started it so late in the day. This book is the definition of a popcorn thriller, and is the perfect read to kick off your summer.

Review: Red Star Rebels by Amie Kaufman (Release 02/10/2026)
Some of the action scenes were fun, and it definitely could be described as “Home Alone” but on Mars. I found the twists to be well-done, but the romance was a weak spot for me.

Review: Queen of Faces by Petra Lord (02/03/2026)
This was a fun book with an interesting cast of characters! I thought the magic system was well-designed and one of the stronger parts of this novel’s world-building.

Review: Enchanting the Fae Queen by Stephanie Burgis (Release 01/27/2026)
Enchanting the Fae Queen was a really fun continuation of the world set up in Burgis’s Wooing the Witch Queen. I loved getting to learn more about the fae world, and see beyond Lorelei’s mask.

Review: Bending the Rules by Camille Benda and Gwyn Conaway (Release 01/20/2026)
This was a great, brief, look at gendered and ungendered fashion and garments throughout history. I found the way it was divided up into sections based on different aspects inside and outside of the binary to be easy to follow.
