Review: Why Aren’t You Dead Yet? by Ella T. Holmes (Release 07/21/2026)
I received an E-ARC of this novel from the publisher through Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Before I had even read a synopsis, I was pulled in my this anthology’s title. When I realized it was an anthology of disability stories, set in dystopias, all I wanted to do was drop everything…

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: Dolly All The Time by Annabel Monaghan (Release 05/26/2026)

Review: JOAN by Jake Rose (Release 03/26/2026)
This poetry collection had a really interesting framing, and I thought that the way it weaved the poet’s experiences and Joan’s experiences was really well done.

Review: the witch doesn’t drown in this one by Amanda Lovelace (Release 03/03/2026)
I love getting to read Amanda’s poetry, it is always deeply meaningful and timely commentary. This companion to one of her older works is no different.

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.
