Kicking off 31 queer SFF books, 31 years, 31 days tomorrow! Some classics, some hidden gems, some is flawed/dated stuff I still think is worth reading. All I'd give at least a high B. Will post a comment, a blurb, publication info, SFF award noms, original & recent covers, & link to buy if in print.

If the Americans do plan an attack on Canada, at least we'll see their war plans in advance with Pete Hegseth running the show.

Just started a reread (listen) to Cage of Dark Hours in anticipation of The Teeth of Dawn coming February 4th. I LOVE that there’s a short recap of what happened in The Helm of Midnight (even though I just finished it earlier this evening). Such a good series!

20 books to start off the year and all were fantastic. Its hard to pick a favourite, but I do highly recommend Archangels of Funk by Andrea Hairston (in part as it’s excellent & I haven’t seen it get much hype, though maybe that’s just the corner of Bluesky I’m in)

Covid rates across Canada are very high, (1 in every 61 people), similar to rates in the US (estimated as 1 in 56). Expected excess mortality is also very high: about 720 untimely deaths per week due to COVID-19 😣 Stay safe out there: ventilate, vaccinate, educate, mitigate 😷

Just finished Archangels of Funk by Andrea Hairston & what a delight! Joy shines against a dystopian backdrop that’s all too easy to imagine. I loved all of the characters, circus bots & cyber dogs included; well, especially the circus bots
