• Dune - Frank Herbert; May 2025 ⭑⭑⭑☆☆
  • i really wanted to do this justice, so aware it's the bestselling science fiction series of all time but it drags a little too much at times... i like it fine but not enough to read Dune Messiah? i will watch the movies though. it took me some effort to finish it. it's Fine
• Boy Island - Leo Fox; June 2025 ⭑⭑⭑⭑☆
  • happy pride month! psychedelic, bold, creative, super cool. 4th wall breaks galore. fantastical gendertwisting origin fable! i liked it a lot

  • this is her best work. hands down. don't think she'll ever top this
• Bones and All - Camille DeAngelis; October 2025 ⭑⭑⭑☆☆
  • rather mid. i did finish it in one night, i got invested, i knew damn well that boy would get eaten and i kept reading it, unfortunately the payoff wasn't anything of substance... love is all-consuming and painful yes. i get it.
  • seems to have broken my spell of lacking the attention span for full length novels though so kudos for that
• Work-Life Balance - Aisha Franz; October 2025 ⭑⭑⭑⭑☆
  • darkly funny, very on the nose and of the zeitgeist
• Stag Dance - Torrey Peters; October 2025 ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑
  • feeling very seen in one sense, but also that i'm getting a peek into trans-fem culture in another sense. exemplary queer writing! vulnerable and satisfying. "The Chaser" is my favourite out of the 4 stories (3 stories and 1 novel).
  • ranked: 1. The Chaser, 2. The Masker, 3. Stag Dance, 4. Infect Your Friends and Loved Ones

• Pet Peeves - Nicole Goux; November 2025 ⭑⭑⭑☆☆
  • pretty decent, had a singular plotline and saw it through! ending is ambiguous but hopeful? possibly? it's that damn dog
• Box Hill - Adam Mars-Jones; December 2025 ⭑⭑⭑☆☆
  • very british and by that i mean rather matter of fact and dry… but not unpleasant? i liked it. tends to ramble off a bit but it leaves a light melancholy feeling. like chamomile and bergamot
