Rating: 4 Stars! Genre: LGBTQ+, Contemporary, YA Series/Standalone: Standalone How I got this book: Thank you to Harper360YA for the ARC If you asked seventeen-year-old Cass Williams to describe herself, she’d happily tell you she’s fat, queer, and obsessed with the Tide Wars books. What she won’t tell you—or anyone in her life—is that she’s part of an online Tide Wars roleplay community. Sure, it’s nerdy as hell, but when she’s behind the screen writing scenes as Captain Aresha, she doesn’t have to think about her mother who walked out or how unexpectedly stressful it is dating residen ..read more

Keep reading for an update on my favourite books of 2022, what I'm reading now, and what's to come for My Endless Shelf and the Turn the Page podcast in 2023.  First of all, if you've been here a while, you might have noticed that the blog has been pretty dormant lately - I think the last post, and podcast, was back in October.  The truth is, I've been str ..read more

Welcome back to the Turn The Page podcast.  This month, our episode is all about Graphic Novels and Comics.

Rating: 4 Stars Genre: Paranormal M/M Comedy Romance  Series/Standalone: Medium Trouble #1 How I got this book: Bought via Audible Hiro Though I was born with the ability to see the dead, I struggled with it until my brother was killed and his ghost was left behind. Now, I’m determined to figure out who is responsible for his death… the problem is that Detective Maddox Booker, the one working the case, is a grumpy and stubborn man who wants nothing to do with me and definitely doesn’t believe in ghosts. It doesn’t help that I keep finding myself looking ridiculous in front of the detect ..read more

Welcome back to the Turn The Page podcast.  This month, our episode is all about Thrillers. Sophie is a big thriller reader, but thrillers haven't always been my cup of tea, or so I thought. But after chatting about different books, and seeing what falls under the 'thriller' category on Goodreads, this month, we're asking the question, 'What exactly makes a thriller a thriller?'  To help us out, I'll be chatting to two thriller/mystery authors, Kathryn Foxfield and Maya MacGregor about their latest books and asking them what goes into writing a gripping thriller/mystery.  Sub ..read more

Rating: 4.5 Stars Genre: LGBT/YA/Mystery/Thriller Series/Standalone: Standalone How I got this book: Gifted by the publisher In this queer contemporary YA mystery, a nonbinary teen with autism realizes they must not only solve a 30-year-old mystery but also face the demons lurking in their past in order to live a satisfying life. Sam Sylvester's not overly optimistic about their recent move to the small town of Astoria, Oregon after a traumatic experience in their last home in the rural Midwest. Yet Sam's life seems to be on the upswing after meeting several new friends and ..read more

I'm in a bit of a book slump...and it blows! It's been a slow quarter for me in terms of reading, I seem to keep starting books but not finishing them and I'm feeling in a bit of a funk.  My personal life has been a bit all over the place as well lately so I'm blaming that for now. You might have also noticed that there was no Turn The Page podcast episode in July as Sophie and I struggled to get our calendars to match up and find a recording date that worked.  In good news, I'm excited to announce that our next author interview is coming very soon! This time, I'll be chatting wi ..read more
