I listened to this one on audio while I was road tripping around Oregon, USA this October. Along with Ruby Dixon’s Space Vampire, it’s another one on my list of “Halloweeny” sci-fi books that I’d hoped to review before October 31st. But even though I’m a day late with this one, Of Monsters and Mainframes … Read more
When it comes to sci-fi romance, I’ve read some weird stuff–from aliens who give great oral to gothic horror set inside the guts of a living spaceship. But I honestly never thought I’d pick up a sentient object romance until I read the blurb for Volatile Memory. Yes, the FMC falls in love with a … Read more

Mass graves have been found at some of these sites, and the … Read more
This is another read that was recommended to me as a sci-fi romance without graphic sex. And unlike some of the other recs, This Is How You Lose the Time War is a true romance. But it’s not your run-of-the-mill guilty pleasure quick-read. This little novella presents its love story in a unique epistolary format, … Read more
A few months ago I was asking around for recommendations of sci-fi romance books without graphic sex scenes, and a friend from my writing group suggested A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine. I gave the audiobook a shot, and it turns out this novel is definitely NOT a romance. But it IS an incredible … Read more
