Truly loving these Chuck Wendig novels:

The Wanderers: an apocalyptic epic that’s as timely as it is terrifying.

The Book of Accidents: chilling, twisty haunted house tale with a beating heart

Finished reading Palaver by Brian Washington and feeling nostalgic

I loved it. It’s a subtle, powerful, complex, feel-good novel about healing past wounds and the joys of new found family.

Catalina by Karla C Villavicencio deserves more hype!

An undocumented student discovers her grandfather ignored immigration letters, putting their futures at risk.

A bold campus debut: ambition, belonging & the immigrant experience.

I’ve been reading Flesh and The Lost Reliquary - both pretty solid in their own genres

How’s Graveyard Shift?

📚 The Lost Reliquary by Lyndsay Ely was a total hoot.

Unfiltered MC, divine body horror, cults, chaos. It’s Gideon the Ninth with fewer bones, more knives.

Drops Oct 21!

Thanks @sagapressbooks.bsky.social and NetGalley for the arc 😊🫶🏽

A lovely surprise from Harper Collins and Vintage! I wasn’t planning to pick any of these up next, but of course I’m eyeing them up.

For a book about witches and devils, and for all the generations of pain it explores, it never lets go of its wild, unruly joy.

Just finished The Lost Relinquary by Lyndsay Eli

What a ride!

Lys's rebellious, sarcastic personality was a real hoot 😝

Can’t wait til the next instalment
It comes out Oct 21

Buckeye by Patrick Ryan got me thinking deeply about the harm one generation does to the next for not opening up about their wounds. The importance of open dialogue in family, friendships and society, dialogue without judgement/blame

This debut sounds dark, lyrical, and quietly unsettling and it has me hooked already. Out Nov 18, and I have a very good feeling about it.

The Incandescent by Emily Tesh was one of my picks for Sapphic September

It didn’t disappoint! Why do I not see it more posts about it?!

It so deserves more hype and I’d love to get more stories with Saphire and Laura 🫶🏽💯🏳️‍🌈

📚 Book Hangover: Endling by Maria Reva💥 I’m at 1% battery and heavily questioning reality.

“The future had been a luxury. The future didn't exist anymore.”

#Currentlyreading The Water Dancer by Ta-Neshi Coates. The cover & the opening line made me get this book:

Loved The South Tash Aw
A tender queer love story, also so much more.
Aw captures the slow unraveling of a farm in Malaysia and a community, showing how the personal is always shaped by the political.
Quietly powerful.

a chilling sci-fi horror that had me hooked from page one. It’s claustrophobic, gory, and creepy in all the right ways. It’s not a super deep read, but it is a seriously fun, smartly written thriller.

Wynn-Williams’ voice is a big part of why this hits so hard—charismatic, clear, and grounded. She’s the “everyperson” trying to stay sane in this chaotic world. And when she says “Facebook is an autocracy of one”, it lands.

Allen Bratton’s Henry Henry really gave me Saltburn meets queer lit vibes, with all the decadence, desire, and quiet destruction that implies. 🏳️‍🌈 Bold, sharp, political, and impossible to shake off.
