Book Review: Maurice and Maralyn, Sophie Elmhirst

What begins as an eccentric English love story turns into one of the most dramatic adventures ever recorded… Maurice and Maralyn couldn’t be more different.

Book Review: The Mars House, Natasha Pulley

In the wake of environmental catastrophe, January, once a principal in London’s Royal Ballet, has become a refugee on Tharsis, the terraformed colony on Mars. In Tharsis, January’s life is dictated by his status as an Earthstronger-a person whose body is not adjusted to Mars’s lower gravity and so poses a danger to those born on, or naturalized to, Mars. January’s job choices, housing, and even…

Top Ten Tuesday: Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the First Half of 2024

It is always as much a delight to look forward to upcoming releases in the next year as it is to review the previous year, isn’t it? I do want to make more and better use of NetGalley this year, so keeping an eye on future releases is helpful! You can’t ask for what you don’t know will be available anyway! It is looking to be a great year with many authors whom I have loved or been impressed by…
