#SciFiMonth2023 – Best Laid Plans (SciFi Month TBR)

November 1, 2023 by Mackenzie 12 Comments

Happy November friends! And welcome to another edition of #SciFiMonth, which is run by imyril (There’s Always Room For One More), Lisa (Dear Geek Place), Annemieke (A Dance With Books), and Mayri (BookForager). If you want to know more about it, check out imyril’s intro post here! I’ve “taken part” in SciFi Month the past two years, but I put that in quotes because I think both years I only posted one or two posts during the whole month haha. Maybe this time it sticks?? Stay tuned to see how I do. But anyway, as always, the first post of the month is your SciFi Month TBR. I’m going to highlight a few books that I definitely want to read. And then I’ll also mention some others on my TBR that I’m excited for! Also – if you saw any of these on my TBR in years past….NO YOU DIDN’T.

Monday Minis – September 25th: Kindle Unlimited Reads (pt. 1)

September 25, 2023 by Mackenzie 4 Comments

Once again I have failed at doing regular Monday Minis posts haha. It seems I managed to do one in 2021, and one in 2022. So I guess this is my one for 2023!! Though I’m going to try to be better…BUT NO PROMISES. Seeing as how well it worked out last year when I said “maybe I can get myself to do this again.”

Beginning last month, I got a free trial of Kindle Unlimited, so for the past few weeks I’ve mostly been reading books from there! I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to write some reviews for what I’ve read. Today I’m just going to talk about 5 of my reads. I’ll try to do another Monday Mini next week with a few more of my favs!

The Blighted Stars

September 19, 2023 by Mackenzie 8 Comments

Thank you to Orbit Books for sending me a finished copy of this for review! This does not affect my review, all thoughts here are my own honest opinions.

Okay the fact that this book only has 1014 ratings and 248 reviews on Goodreads is a CRIME!!! A crime I tell you! Because this book whips ass. It’s an incredible start to a sci-fi trilogy that has elements of horror (in a creepy, survival way, not a scary way) and dystopian fiction (in a corporations controlling society way). It starts off with a bang and doesn’t let up the whole time. Also, the casual queerness is a wonderful thing to see!

Blogger Appreciation! (July 28th)

July 28, 2023 by Mackenzie 3 Comments

Back in March I had the great idea to do a series of feature posts where I talk about blog posts from other bloggers that I’ve recently read and loved. I proceeded to make one post (read it here) and then haven’t done another one since haha. So please bear with me as I slowly try to get this to be a more regular feature! But anyway, here are some wonderful posts from lovely bloggers!
