Erika continues enjoying her reread of the Fallen Blade series. And Blade Reforged is a good jumping-on point!

Sometimes entertaining escapism means three short, bloody books about vampires.

A beautifully written, complicated queer romance … plus politics … plus a fire elemental.

Who would want to jockey against a sea of debutantes to win a marriage to a Duke when there’s a library full of books to be read and plenty of good tea to drink?

A post-myth Robin Hood tale that is at turns sad, dark, frightening, and eventually hopeful. With fae and dragons!

It’s a book in which nothing much happens, just a bunch of aliens sitting around waiting for the sky to clear. And yet Becky Chambers works her magic on it, and makes it memorable and moving. What a magic trick.

In anticipation of the upcoming Apple TV+ show, Antony recommends a spy series quite unlike any other.

Erika revisits an old favourite and discovers it’s even better the second time!

Erika enjoyed a regency-style fantasy novel about war! Who woulda thunk it?

This book is (partially) set in Edmonton, which is exciting for Erika. It’s about monsters and friendship and what monsters can do to friendship.
