  • Raven Scholar Fall Readalong

    Hi all! You may have seen Jennifer’s post in the Founders announcement but I’ve decided to organize an informal readalong for this quest that is timed with the fall seasonal readalong.

    The selected book is the Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson. Raven scholar is on quite a few TBRs so I’m hoping this is a good one to start off with! There’s no badge for participating so this is entirely for fun and hopefully to motivate you to pick up a book you’ve been wanting to read. Please participate by posting in the book forum, not the quest forum.

    I’m looking forward to seeing what you think! šŸ¦ā€ā¬›

  • Fall 2025 Quest Readalong!

    Hi all! I'm excited to announce that our fall readalong book is A Treachery of Swans by A.B. Poranek. Released this past June, A Treachery of Swans is a sapphic retelling of Swan Lake. What better for fall than lush, gothic, magical lesbians?

    Can't wait to read this together and I hope we all enjoy it!!

  • How do you choose what to read?

    Do you decide based on the jacket blurb? Or just start reading the first page? Or stick to recommendations from certain people/places? Curious how everyone chooses what to add to their TBRs!

    Enjoyment: 4.0Quality: 5.0Characters: 5.0Plot: 4.0

    I love a creative story structure and I love a good revenge tale, and this delivers both. I actually expected this to be darker than it was, and most of the horror here is in the historical content rather than Good Stab's own actions. The bulk of the story is told through the journaling of a preacher in 1912 who records both Good Stab's past along with his own present, and these dual timelines play well off each other and highlight the narrator's complete lack of reliability and his ego in a way that's both chilling and comedic. This book is really smartly done.

    Reading the fetishistic way Arthur talks about and describes Good Stab is certainly an experience.
