I hope I will too!! It looks very cool!

⏳📚⚡️📚 The Rivals or Sherlock Holmes - a collection of stories from other writers at the time of Sherlock's publishing who were inspired to make their own detective stories!! I love history and detectives so I'm hooked right there.

🩸📚⚡️📚🪐The Lonely Dead - Adele sees ghosts and really is not happy about it. Except she finds the body of an ex-best friend in a shallow grave and has to team up with her ghost anyways! People who deny/try to avoid their own magic powers are so interesting!

🪐📚Fourth Wing - I heard the author was at the festival, and there was a lot of hype. I'm stoked I found a paperback copy with the dragons airbrushed on the sides. A physically brittle girl trying to join the toughest dragon riders.. I see it, I like it. It's a fun premise!

🪐📚 Soul Jar - An anthology collection of fantasy and scifi stories by disabled authors. I've been told there's a lot of variety, so I'd love to see how it shapes up against Artifice & Access, another fantasy disability anthology I reviewed recently.

💡📚 Plums for Months - memories of a wonder-filled neurodivergent childhood by a woman who unlike many of us, was actually diagnosed with autism very young. I'm really interested to read it!

🌈📚⚡️Cemetery Boys - Yadriel wants to prove himself a real man and goes off to summon lady death.. But gets stuck with the ghost of Julian, resident bad boy, instead! LGBT+ inclusive and as part of the plot which you know I love to see.

⏳📚⚡️📚🩸The Devil's Playground - pitched to me as 1920s horror/mystery/thriller. There's a terrifying silent film with a curse, but is it really? Dual protagonist, with one in the 1920s and one hunting this film in the 1960s!

I haven't made much of a dent in them, but I have thoughts!

🎨📚 Angelica and the Bear Prince - I actually read this one right away! An amazing LGBT+ inclusive story with a brilliant artstyle and a loveable bear. It took me on an unexpected emotional journey about life, love and grief.

Always! None Shall Sleep is one of my all time favorites, and I have read MANY books! I'm still so hype for the new book coming out! :D I think about it often.

Same! I found a couple years back that a lot of female authors get shunted to YA regardless of content... I don't know if that's still how it's done, but I've found plenty of great YA books.

They're both thrilling in their own ways! None Shall Sleep is actually a trilogy of books, a thriller/crime fiction/mystery where two teens team up with the fbi to interview young serial killers! The Spirit Bares Its Teeth is a gothic horror/thriller with ghosts and LGBT+ and autistic protags!

yes, i DO love the picture @kayleerowena.com drew of me so much that I'm going to post it on everything I can. Respect on worm on a string artwork
