Happy Tuesday, bibliophiles! I found out about this book earlier this year while looking for more sci-fi with queer and/or disabled rep (as I always am). This book seemed to have nearly the perfect premise—I just can’t get over how genius it is to have an autistic protagonist who’s had to study human behavior her […]| The Bookish Mutant

Happy Tuesday, bibliophiles! To close out Latine Heritage Month, here’s a novel from an author I haven’t read in years! I’d totally forgotten about Lily Anderson since high school. I remember liking Undead Girl Gang a lot when I was younger, so I figured I might give her (somewhat) newer novel a chance. Scout’s Honor […]| The Bookish Mutant
Happy Sunday, bibliophiles! I hope this week has treated you well. This week: shoutout to the Welsh for carrying alternative music at the moment. Also, I continue to eat up 99% of what Horsegirl does, and Michael Stipe appears in (somewhat) unexpected places. Enjoy this week’s songs! SUNDAY SONGS: 10/12/25 “Body as a River” – […]| The Bookish Mutant
Happy Tuesday, bibliophiles! Continuing with Latine Heritage Month, here’s a novel that came on my radar last year when it was released. Literary fiction isn’t my go-to, but I do love s…| The Bookish Mutant

Happy Tuesday, bibliophiles! Continuing with Latine Heritage Month, here’s a new release that caught my eye! The cover and premise seemed stunning, and I was intrigued by the inclusion of Taíno mythology. On almost all of those fronts, Beasts of Carnaval delivered instantly—I was hooked from page one! Enjoy this week’s review! Beasts of Carnaval […]| The Bookish Mutant
