• 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

• 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
• The Black Orb - Ewhan Kim; November 2025 ⭑☆☆☆☆
  • being so real with you rn this shit has been straight a$$ so far. i'll probably keep reading just to see how this thing ends but the plot is just swaying with the wind and tides. you're telling me you wrote an alien invasion survival novel just for it to be boring
• Detransition, Baby - Torrey Peters (audiobook); November 2025
  • i've been listening to it on my commutes and while doing my crafts and it's very good so far
