The Firebird's Bookshelf

Queer book reviewer, part time bookseller, slightly chaotic

and partly because of other projects (check out @HearthAndTome), but the basic gist is that I don't currently have the time or capacity to continue The Firebird's Bookshelf for now. It might return sometime down the line, no promises. Thank you so much for all the support ❤️2/2

This shouldn't come as a surprise, given that I've not posted since February, but I wanted to officially state that The Firebird's Bookshelf is going on an indefinite hiatus. Partly for exciting reasons (my partner and I are buying our first home!) 1/2

It's been so long already! But we are back with Episode 2! Find us on your favourite podcast platform, and join us in the Hearth and Tome Tavern!

Had an interview today, so it was very nice to be given a little special something afterwards! You best believe that @erhandyside and I will be doing a bonus @HearthAndTome episode for this one! #BookshopsAndBonedust

I just finished reading #OurHideousProgeny by @C_E_McGill and what a read it was! I'll try and get a proper review up on the blog soon, but for now I'll say that it's definitely one to pick up if you want a queer, rebellious, "Frankenstein but with dinosaurs" story!

[Hearth & Tome Podcast @HearthAndTome]

And we are live! Our first book club episode is out now on Spotify,and should be on other platforms shortly! We hope you listen and enjoy!

I know I've been a bit absent the past couple of months, I've been busy with a bunch of other stuff! I should hopefully be able to get back to normal review posting from late May!

[Phoenix Arden @BeansAndFungi]

No spoily spoilers but I've been working on a thing and I'm gonna be sharing more soon but right now I just wanna say that it's shaping up real well and I'm super excited!

Having loved #HouseInTheCeruleanSea and #UnderTheWhisperingDoor, I was thrilled when @tjklune announced #InTheLivesOfPuppets. And it was every bit as wonderful and beautiful as I had hoped!
