Interesting read about some bandits who are joined by a nun on their escapes. I found the language a little stilted and the word choice odd in places.
Read early for June #QueerBC! My Libby hold came in before expected.
Also using this for #lgbtqia2025!

pickThis is 3.5 story in the series!
It‘s a fun “jumper” story to give more closure for the previous couple and to open the story up for the next book!
so-soThis is my first Ali Hazelwood and it kept me entertained, but it was nothing memorable.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Landed a huge work project last week and haven‘t been reading much. Started this audiobook and I‘m entertained, so far.
Also, trying to slowly finish all the Kindle books I‘m currently in the middle of before starting new ones…We‘ll see how that goes! 😅🤣
pickLow pick. This is my second Nghi Vo book and I love the way she writes. Lots of other reviews have pointed to this being very vibe based - and that‘s both a strength and a weakness - loved watching a city rise, fall and rise again over a large span of years but the weakness is that there isn‘t really a character that you grow to care deeply about.
pickA short but memorable Hugo novella nominee. I finished the book earlier today and the themes have been playing in my mind all day. Which is a more powerful method of control: a heavy physical chain full of tangible links or an invisible one that can be pulled tight without warning? For so few pages there are many layers that I want to peel away via discussion with the author.
Currently my top pick for the #hugoaward novella selection.
Best book of April was Murder by Memory by Olivia Waites. A sci-fi murder mystery novella set on a spaceship 5*
Second best book of the month was Needy Little Things by Channelle Desamours. A YA novel of a high school senior whose friend has disappeared and she wants to find her as the friend disappeared while the two were waiting in line for the bathroom at a concert 4.5*
pickThis was a deceptively simple, and full of what it means to be human. By the end I was very attached to the protagonist. But unclear on whether the wolf girl was actually Kate or a result of a traumatized man living alone. #ReadYourKobo @CBee
pick4.5/5
The perspective of a livesuit solider, on the other side of an endless and timeless war.
I'm really enjoying this series. There are definitely a lot of horror elements to the series and the aliens.
