SPACE GAYS!!! (A Book Recommendation List)

January 26, 2022 by Mackenzie 8 Comments

You know I love science fiction – particularly space operas, and you also know I love queer books. So what’s even better than each of those?? WHEN THEY’RE MASHED TOGETHER!! So I made a book recommendation list with a ton of queer space books. I originally posted it on my bookstagram here, so sorry if you’re seeing it twice. But here I’ve included the Goodreads links so you can check them all out easily!

The Happy Place 5: Books I Meant to Read Last Year…

January 19, 2022 by Mackenzie 6 Comments

The Happy Place 5 is a monthly series where a few friends and I post 5 of our favorites books for a certain topic or theme. The name is from a Discord group that I am a part of. We created the space to have a positive environment for a handful of close friends. All of us are bookworms, and many of us are bookstagrammers and bloggers. So we decided to start a blog post series together! I’ll link my friends blogs and posts for this month’s topic at the end of this post.

Today (well, today as I’m writing this) I saw the following tweet:

This is something that I KNOW we can all relate to haha. This is extremely relevant to our topic today, since we chose to talk about backlist books that we meant to read in 2021. I have 10000% said the above almost word for word about all of these books. So I feel personally attacked by this tweet lol. But anyway, read on to find out which books I STILL NEED TO READ. And then go berate me into reading them hehe.

The Happy Place 5: Anticipated 2022 Books

December 22, 2021 by Mackenzie 6 Comments

The Happy Place 5 is a monthly series where a few friends and I post 5 of our favorites books for a certain topic or theme. The name is from a Discord group that I am a part of. We created the space to have a positive environment for a handful of close friends. All of us are bookworms, and many of us are bookstagrammers and bloggers. So we decided to start a blog post series together! I’ll link my friends blogs and posts for this month’s topic at the end of this post.

I guess I missed the November edition of The Happy Place 5 haha. But oh well! We continue on with the series with this month’s theme. December is a month of wrapping up the past year, but it’s also a great time to look ahead to the coming one. In that vein, today I’ll be talking about five of my anticipated 2022 books. This was honestly so hard to choose (and you’ll see I cheated and added an honorable mention). 2022 is really looking like an INCREDIBLE reading year. So let’s get to it!

Publisher Recommendation: Angry Robot Books

December 15, 2021 by Mackenzie 2 Comments

Quite a while ago I shared a publisher recommendation for TorDotCom, and I’m here to continue the publisher rec series with a new installment. Angry Robot has quickly become one of my favorite publishers for many reasons. They are, in their own words, “dedicated to the best in modern adult science fiction, fantasy and WTF?!” Which I mean, how can you resist that?
