The top row shows three covers: King Tyrant (with a moody Tyrannosaurus rex picture by Mark Witton), Air-Borne (showing a colourful picture of lots of spores, pollen, and other small airborne particles), and Lechuguilla Cave (showing an otherworldly photo of a cave with yellow ecrustations fringing an azure blue/green pool) The bottom row shows two covers: Slow Down or Die (showing a photo of part of a large merry-go-round with people in seats that hang from chains) and Intraterrestrials (showing a colourful aerial picture of a hot spring with yellow, pink, and green colours caused by microbes)

I really really like this by 167five on The Last Philosopher: Part one Wednesday, December 24th, 2025. Overall rating: 5/5 stars Honestly, when I read the first chapter, I was like... What the heck am I reading? I thought that the writing was going to just be random philosophical nonsense. And for the first couple of paragraphs, that was what I recieved. But then... Herschel being a prisoner in a far off fantasty world really got to me. It seemed just an interesting premise, and seeing him give his satrical thoughts and ideas are just very entertaining to read. The grammar, plot, and story are all greatly done as well. Overall, this is a great story that I would recommend to other new readers.

Beáta reviews "That Lesbian Vampire Pirate Story" by Raven Belasco:

"1860s New York. Sadie “the Goat”, a young woman who makes her living any way she can (mostly crime), decides that she’d had enough from the difficult conditions on the streets, and becomes a pirate instead.... an interesting and fast-paced novella that leaves you wanting more. I would recommend it. Also, the title is really cool."

Ulysses reviews "Down the River" by J. Scott Coatsworth, River City book 2:

"Anyone who ever read Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City will appreciate this book... I was moved to tears more than once, because everything seemed to spark a memory, or a familiar resonance, with my own lived experience. 5 stars."
