Are we calling today Skygif day?

This excellent and gorgeous addition to the Wonder Woman world and myth is well worth seeking out. #bookreviews #books #comics https://www.redheadedfemme.com/2024/04/review-wonder-woman-historia-amazons.html#bookreviews #books #comics https://www.redheadedfemme.com/2024/04/review-wonder-woman-historia-amazons.html

This second book in the Fallen Gods epic fantasy series expands the worldbuilding and characters, explores the psychology of faith and worship, and gets our protagonists in a whole lot of trouble. #bookreviews #fantasy #books www.redheadedfemme.com/2024/04/revi...

This was an unknown-to-me author, but it's a very good superhero/coming of age/young adult/trans coming out story. https://www.redheadedfemme.com/2024/03/review-dreadnought.html

This second book in the Devoured Worlds series, a sprawling space opera of mind-mapping, body printing, and (possibly) intelligent fungi, is just as good as the first. #bookreviews #sciencefiction #books https://www.redheadedfemme.com/2024/03/review-fractured-dark.html#bookreviews #sciencefiction #books https://www.redheadedfemme.com/2024/03/review-fractured-dark.html

An outstanding edition of Clarkesworld Magazine, with no less than five excellent stories. #bookreviews #magazines #sciencefiction www.redheadedfemme.com/2024/02/revi...

This second book in the Sworn Soldier series is a bit longer and more focused on character than the first, What Moves the Dead, and isn't quite as terrifying, but the appealing characters make up for it. #bookreviews #fantasy #horror #books www.redheadedfemme.com/2024/02/revi...

This epic fantasy/mystery tale, with its weird, complex and fascinating world, is firing on all cylinders, upping author Robert Jackson Bennett's already considerable game. #bookreviews #reviews #fantasy #mystery #monsters www.redheadedfemme.com/2024/02/revi...

Very nice pickings at the VNSA Used Book Sale today. The last day was half off, so I got all these for $16.00

God, I hate shoveling out from under snow

This arrived today. What a gorgeous book! Look at it. #books #fantasy

This novella, with its fascinating ideas of cloned mammoths and the uploaded human tasked to lead them, should have been a full length book. But it's still worth reading. #bookreviews #books #sciencefiction www.redheadedfemme.com/2024/02/revi...

This important and at times incredibly hard to read story fully depicts the horrors of Jim Crow, and also shows that as a country we haven't left it as far behind as we'd like to think. #bookreviews #books #horror www.redheadedfemme.com/2024/02/revi...

This second book in the Tithenai Chronicles is a romance/political fantasy with some lovely writing and good character work. #bookreviews #fantasy #romance #lgbtq www.redheadedfemme.com/2024/01/revi...

This experimental, non-linear book dealing with human extinction/genocide and uploading to a virtual reality to save the planet is....not great. #sciencefiction #bookreviews www.redheadedfemme.com/2024/01/revi...

Someone has already expressed their opinion of the SF book I'm about to start. So we'll see how it goes. 😀

Another stellar issue of Clarkesworld Magazine, with several stories exploring themes of grief and loss. #bookreviews #magazines #sciencefiction www.redheadedfemme.com/2024/01/revi...

Blockbuster headline in the Arizona Republic. "The Arizona 'audit' was encouraged, funded and carried out by loyalists to Donald Trump."

This is one of the better issues of Clarkesworld Magazine, with two outstanding stories in "To Carry You Inside You" by Tia Tashiro and "The Parts That Make Me" by Louise Hughes. #bookreviews #magazines #sciencefiction www.redheadedfemme.com/2024/01/revi...

Starting the new year out right. #catpics

This quaint pulpy SF/space opera/romance with inadequate worldbuilding is just so-so. #bookreviews #books #sciencefiction #spaceopera www.redheadedfemme.com/2023/12/revi...

This magazine has been around for years, and it tends to fly under the radar. It deserves a wider readership. #bookreviews #magazines #fantasy #horses www.redheadedfemme.com/2023/12/revi...

This seventh volume of the Murderbot Diaries is not the best book in the series (that would be Network Effect) but it's still worth reading. #bookreview #bookblogger #sciencefiction www.redheadedfemme.com/2023/11/revi...

This is a sometimes harrowing alternate history/Victorian ghost story, but it has pertinent things to say about accepting trans people and fighting for their right to exist. #bookreview #bookblogger #lgbt www.redheadedfemme.com/2023/11/revi...

This is a unique twist on the Southern gothic, haunted-house ghost story, and it is fantastic. #bookreviews #bookblogger #fantasy www.redheadedfemme.com/2023/11/revi...

This book is not a deep dive into Frank Herbert's life or the Dune-iverse (it concentrates on the book's publication history/filmography) but it's an informative, entertaining read. #bookreview #bookblogger #science-fiction www.redheadedfemme.com/2023/11/revi...

Watching episode 4 of Netflix's "The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Black Cat," with my own black cat in my lap was...something.

This is an interesting exploration of gods and worship, in the context of an epic fantasy where humans literally create their own gods. #bookreviews #fantasy www.redheadedfemme.com/2023/10/revi...

This long-running urban fantasy series is as fresh and compelling as ever, seventeen books in. #bookreviews #fantasy #urbanfantasy www.redheadedfemme.com/2023/10/revi...

This is a lovely, subversive retelling of the fairy tale "Sleeping Beauty" with a wonderful main character. #bookreviews #fantasy www.redheadedfemme.com/2023/10/revi...
