2025 Book Releases – Part Two!

April 2, 2025 by Mackenzie 3 Comments

Back in January I posted a list of 2025 book releases to look forward to (which you can find here). Naturally, more books were announced, friends told me about books I didn’t know about, and I just otherwise discovered more releases. So I’ve made a part two with more 2025 book releases to get stoked about!! You may have already seen this on my Bookstagram (here) if you follow me on there. This post has the same info, but I’ve also added the Goodreads and Storygraph links for each book.

January 14, 2025 by Mackenzie 15 Comments

Well hello there pocket friends! I’m dusting off the old blog once again – I can’t believe it’s been literally 9 months since I last posted. Well okay yes I can, I’ve always been Not Great at consistently posting on here. Maybe that will change in 2025? No promises though. In any case, I made a list of 2025 book releases that I wanted to share on here! I’ve already posted it on Instagram, so you may have seen it there. Here I’ll add the Goodreads links for you too, so you can easily add them to your shelves if you want to 😉. So let’s dive in!

Trans Book Recs!

March 31, 2024 by Mackenzie 4 Comments

Did you know that today, March 31st, is Transgender Day of Visibility? It is a day dedicated to celebrating trans people and raising awareness of the discrimination and violence that the trans community faces every day. To celebrate, I’m sharing a trans book rec list that I posted on my bookstagram a few days ago! You can find the specific post here on Instagram (and it is on Twitter/X here). These are books that feature trans characters or are written by trans authors (and here I am including nonbinary identities under the term trans). I’ve included a good mix of books I’ve read and books on my TBR, and have a few upcoming releases as well! So let’s get to the list!!

Meredith, Alone

November 10, 2022 by Ri 2 Comments

This is one of my favourite 2022 releases. Meredith hasn’t left her home for over 1000 days. She works from home and lives with her cat Fred, and loves to read, bake, and do jigsaw puzzles in her free time. She has a best friend named Sadie, an online friend Celeste, and Tom, someone sent from a charity organization to be her ‘friend.’ The more we get to know Meredith, the more we peel back the layers of why she doesn’t want to go outside.

Honey Girl

March 27, 2021 by Mackenzie No Comments

Hooooo boy. What a book. What a magnificent masterpiece of a book. I’m not this will be a review, so much as me rambling and spewing thoughts. I think a lot of people went into this one expecting it to be a romcom type of book. However, it is more of a coming of age/exploration of adulthood with some romance. The main focus is Grace and her journey, rather than the romance (though that is definitely a part of her journey). I just. Ugh. Reading this as someone who is nearing the end of an astrophysics PhD (like Grace) and experiencing burnout, depression, and anxiety (like Grace) hit so me so hard. It really made me feel SEEN.
