The nitty-gritty: A promising, fast paced debut, Morsel is big on folk horror atmosphere but tried to do too much to be completely successful. Morsel is a strange little book that started out very strong, but at some point it took a weird turn and ended up in a place I wasn’t expecting. And I’m […]
Welcome to Future Fiction, my reimagining of the Waiting on Wednesday meme! There are so many amazing new books coming out, that I can no longer pick just one. My goal with Future Fiction is to share at least three new books each week, a combination of recent cover reveals and books that I’ve recently […]
It’s the second quarter of 2026 already, so it’s time to share the books I’m most looking forward to for the next three months. My tradition is share five books for each month of April, May and June that I’m most excited about. Keep reading til the end to see how I did with my […]
The nitty-gritty: Mind-bending and menacing, The Caretaker is weird psychological horror at its best. “If you are reading this, it means you have failed the first Rite.” The Caretaker is Marcus Kliewer’s second book, and it’s just as bizarre and unsettling as We Use To Live Here. This is another mind fuck of a story […]
Welcome to Buffy’s Corner, where I take a look at what’s coming up this week on the blog! I’m linking up with The Sunday Post over at Kimberly’s blog, The Caffeinated Reviewer. Happy Easter to those who celebrate! I plan to hide plastic eggs with treats inside for Badger, so we’ll see if he can […]
The nitty-gritty: History and magic combine in this engaging debut fantasy story. The Geomagician wasn’t quite what I expected, but I ended up enjoying so many elements, even if there were a few things that didn’t work for me. Debut author Jennifer Mandula has taken a real life figure from history—Mary Anning, an English paleontologist […]
I feel like I say this every month, but April really does have a ridiculous number of new speculative fiction releases! And I have once again over extended myself by requesting way too many books. Sigh. But can you blame me? I want to read all of these! Obviously I will not be able to […]

I read and reviewed eight books in March, and because a couple of them were on the chunky side, I consider this a win. Also, my ratings feel very balanced this month! My favorite book of the month is A Widow’s Charm without a doubt, it was wonderful, and I will always recommend it. If […]
The nitty-gritty: Shocking, gross and eye-opening, Nothing Tastes As Good is both hard-hitting and wildly entertaining. “We’re all hungry, aren’t we? You’ve made us all into monsters.” I read my first Luke Dumas book a few years ago and enjoyed it (The Paleontologist), but Nothing Tastes As Good is so much better in just about […]
