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.
New Year, Same Chaos

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.
2025 in a Nutshell
Commence the 2025 Wrap Up!
I published my first historical fiction and ran my first Kickstarter, and participated in an anthology with the Right Here Write Queer Podcast. I also was nominated in the Indie Ink Awards!
For reading, there was a lot of rereading (and rereading again in the case of the Big Bad Series) but I did discover a lot of new favorites and other stories I really enjoyed. There was only a few that I didn’t care for as much.
Stay tuned for this year’s hopes and dreams!
Disability December
For Disability December, here are a collection of queer books with disabled main characters, or by disabled authors.
Happy Holidays
Have the queerest of holidays, and stay warm and safe with a good book.
Be Thankful, Do Better
It is Thanksgiving this week, which means it’s a good time to acknowledge the land we live on and the Indigenous peoples it belongs to. By no means should this be the only time we acknowledge that.
I live on Iroquois land, specifically the Mohawk region. The Iroquois, or Five Nations, was brought together by Deganawidah the Great Peacemaker, and it was composed of the nations Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca.
Later on the Tuscaroras joined, and they became Haudenosaunee, or ‘six separate nations.’
Novella November
Novellas are for November! Perfect for that burn out time of year when you want a quick story that packs a punch.
Nonbinary November
November plays host to many reading challenges this month, and it’s National Native American Heritage month. I’ll do my best to fit in as many recs as possible !
This week, let’s take a look at some queer books with nonbinary characters, or written by nonbinary authors. I’ve read a few of these, but there are so many good ones here I’m looking forward to.
Any favorites you’d like to share?
Ace of Hearts
Today is the last day of Asexual Awareness Week! These books are good to read all year long, and I have a great many of them on my TBR.
Are there any you’ve enjoyed?
Indies in my Pocket
I have been collecting queer indie books for a bit now, and then I found a spectacular queer indies 2025 release list that filled this post out beautifully.
Any of these you’re excited for, or have loved?
