Currently Reading: FOUR DEAD QUEENS by Astrid Scholte
This was an ARC I picked up at SDCC. I’m about halfway through and sadly this one is a bit middling for me, as I’m not loving the setting of four neighboring kingdoms where each is bound to a stereotype (one develops tech, but forbids emotion so that logic can prevail). I’ll give you my quick thoughts next week after I finish, but my full review will go up early next year.
Recently Finished: SKYWARD by Brandon Sanderson and GIRLS OF PAPER AND FIRE by Natasha Ngan
I absolutely loved SKYWARD, if you couldn’t tell from my glowing review on Monday. I was able to finish GIRLS OF PAPER AND FIRE over the weekend and I enjoyed it a lot, though maybe not with as much enthusiasm as the rest of the Internet. Still gave it a solid four stars on Goodread! My review for that should be up shortly after this post goes live.
Probable Next Reads: BINTI by Nnedi Okorafor and BEYOND THE EMPIRE by K.B. Wagers
BINTI just became available to read through the digital library system, and I suspect I’ll tear through this novella in a day. For my next full read, I’m bouncing out of YA and into sci-fi to conclude THE INDRANAN WAR trilogy, featuring my favorite space-smuggler-turned-empress Hail Bristol!
These books are all sooo intriguing! I’m glad you enjoyed your recent reads – and I hope you end up loving Four Dead Queens – that one’s on my TBR!

I really want to read both Girls of Paper and Fire and Skyward soon, they both sound so interesting. Binti’s one of my favorite novellas, I hope you enjoy reading it!
