This is How You Lose the Time War by @maxgladstone.bsky.social and @amalelmohtar.com —♾️⭐️
Absolutely no one is writing romance like this and I mean NO ONE. Breathtakingly beautiful, stunning prose. It made me tear up! Ugh, what a wonderful book. You should read it.

Witch King by @marthawells.com —4.75⭐️
Shaving a quarter of a star off because the beginning felt long. But boy once it picked up…I loved the characters, especially my boy Kai. I loved the ending and the flashbacks most especially. I recommend if you like second world high fantasy!

The Unworthy by Agustina Bazterrica—5⭐️
This was insanely beautiful and haunting. Just as twisted as Tender is the Flesh, just as violent. But also tender (lol) with the relationship between our narrator and a stranger who arrives at the convent. Highly recommend!

A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett—4.5⭐️
Just as fun as the first one, albeit a bit long. But I don’t think anything should be cut! If you enjoy fantasy detective mysteries, you’ll enjoy this!

There’s Always This Year by Hanif Abdurraqib—♾️ stars
I’m giving this my highest rating, which is infinity stars. Sometimes books come to you at the exact right time, and I find this especially true with essay books. What Abdurraqib achieves here is nothing short of beautiful.

Bibliophobia by Sarah Chihaya—4.5⭐️
What’s your Life Ruiner book? An enjoyable memoir, though I did find myself getting a bit mired down in some of the evaluations of books. Still recommend! (Btw, my Life Ruiner is Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar.)

While this was beautifully written, and the relationship between our two main characters is about human connection, I feel this the weakest of Han Kang's books. Still enjoyable, of course!

Model Home by Rivers Solomon—6⭐️
This was hauntingly beautiful (lol at haunting). The prose was stunning, I loved the characters. The lengths we go to in order to deny reality—and the grief we undergo when confronted with it. Stunning.
