Noah’s Book Recs
February Reads
My birthday was last month, so of course I treated myself to relistens of most of my favorites. I also read Sir Cameron, which I’ve had my eye on for awhile, and Thomas!
Vampires and knights and dragons, oh my! Not to mention werewolves, murder mysteries, and codependent heros with accidental child acquisition syndrome.
Audiobooks Rock
There once was a time when I had never listened to an audiobook, or had any interest to. Now that’s just about the only way I can get any reading done. I have favorite narrators, and favorite performances. Anyone who knows me will be able to spot them here immediately.
There’s also a great many here that I want to listen to, or are new to me entirely and recommended by readers or indie authors.
Aromantic Awareness Books
It’s Aromantic Awareness Week, here are a slew of aro-spec books for reading!
Black History Month
It is Black History Month, and today I bring you a plethora of queer books written by Black authors.
I personally loved Icarus, Black Leopard Red Wolf, Work For It, and Somewhere in the Gray Area. I’m about halfway through Master of Djinn and Chain-Gang All-Stars, but they were library and I’ll have to recheck them out.
Winged Histories and Dread Nation are waiting on my bookshelf, and there’s quite a few more on my TBR.
January Reads
Look at me, listening to new books! I even conquered a paperback that’s been on my shelf for awhile now.
The To Kill a King series was full of ups and downs, I wanted to smash most of their heads together and the second one is likely my favorite because eldest child syndrome intermixed with a dragon for the win.
And yeah … I finished the Big Bad Wolf series, again. Can’t get enough Dayton and his wolf.
I am nearly done with the Perilous Courts series by Tavia Lark, I realized partway through Bodyguard that I had in fact already listened to it but continued on anyways. Love these books, and Betrothed especially.
Sorcery and Small Magics was recommended to me by several people, and MY GOODNESS what a book. It is so well written, beautiful, and just a heck of a good time.
American Hippo is like if OFMD had a baby with a heist movie and was parented by an old western, and babysat by hippos.
Lastly, I couldn’t start the year off without the Doomsday fellas. Gareth and Jos are my favorite, but Luke and his grief gets me every time.
My Heated Rivalry
Between watching Heated Rivalry and listening to Sorcery and Small Magics, I figured it was time to compose a list filled with rivals who love to bicker and work to a common purpose, and love each other.
Eventually, after all the bickering.
Knight Time
It’s Knight Time; fealty, love, and a whole lot of swords.
Some of these aren’t your typical knights, but they protect their charges or kingdom with their lives regardless, and honor their oaths.
New Year, Same Chaos
They are chaos incarnate, or chaos just happens to spring up whenever they are around. Because let’s face it, a new year is just a new opportunity to cause havoc.
Plans for 2026
We return to the magickal world of Levena this year with a sassy star and their grumpy vampire. You do not need to have read the first two books to read Mochizuki and Xlato as it focuses on a different couple, but it helps with the 🌜lore🌛
For reading this year, it’s almost indie all the way for me. There are quite a few I have been wanting to get to, and some that I’ve started and need to finish. Especially the ones already on my shelves.
