Heir of Prophecy by Analeigh Sbrana
I’ve enjoyed Analeigh Sbrana’s books a lot before. Last summer, I read her duology Lore of the Wilds and Lore of the Tides when the latter published. In this new romantasy, readers get a taste of magical academia with some actual diversity. It includes fae,…

Buzzard by Inez Ray
Left Unread is a small but mighty publishing imprint that specifically promotes BIPOC authors and platforms marginalized voices. Every book I have read from them so far has been absolutely phenomenal. Their next title is called Buzzard. It publishes next month, and I was very…

The Outer Limits – Waltham, MA
While my partner is working out of state, my sister and I paid a visit to The Outer Limits in Waltham, MA! During this project, I’ve often been asked what constitutes an independent bookstore. I don’t always have a perfect answer, but The Outer Limits…

KOBRA by Cris G. Wells
I’ve really enjoyed the bookish opportunities I’ve gotten through The Nerd Fam. They’ve put a lot of phenomenal ARCs in my hands since I’ve started reading them. When they started their monthly Early Reads Book Club, of course I had to sign up. Last month,…

Nine Goblins by T. Kingfisher
The very first time I read a T. Kingfisher book, I knew I wanted to read all of them. Now, any time I see a title from her that I don’t already have on my shelf, I grab it instantly. Nine Goblins is actually her…

Commonwealth Books – Boston, MA
While my partner is working out of state, I dragged my sister with me instead to Commonwealth Books in Boston, MA! It’s been in business in the area for roughly 30 years all told, and it has an amazing collection full of history far older…

The Cost of Runes by K.R. House
I have been very excited to write this review. This is the second installment in a series I’ve been loving so far, and this book is even better than the first. I was lucky enough to get to read this one in its beta stage.…

Good Dog Records & Books – Newton, MA
Recently, since my partner is working a job in Alaska, I dragged my sister on a visit with me instead and we ventured out to Good Dog Records and Books in Newton, MA! This store has been here for three years, but has the feel…

Booklink Booksellers – Northampton, MA
A few weeks back, we brought a longtime friend of ours out to Booklink Booksellers in Northampton, MA! Inside Thornes’ Marketplace, this place calls itself a “small bookstore with a loud voice” but it really doesn’t feel small at all! It’s got a wide variety…

The Halls of the Dead by S.M. Hallow
I love reading queer horror. Make it Gothic and throw in an intriguing magic system, and there’s no way I could turn it down. So when I stumbled across the description for The Halls of the Dead on NetGalley, I knew I had to apply…

Barefoot Books – Concord, MA
Recently, we brought the mini-me over to Barefoot Books in Concord, MA! This is not your typical bookstore. Barefoot Books is actually a publisher, and this is the office they work out of, but it’s also a retail and event space that hosts book fairs,…

Broadside Bookshop – Northampton, MA
Recently, we brought a longtime friend of ours out to visit Broadside Bookshop in Northampton, MA! There are a lot of bookstores in this town, but their distinct personalities mean they don’t have to compete to thrive. Broadside Bookshop has been here for more than…
