Book tastes

I like sf & fantasy, comics, romance, urban fantasy. LGBTQ+ themes okay. I rate what I’ve read on Goodreads (https://www.goodreads.com/user_challenges/40850750) and from this year’s reads thus far I’d pick as the best Alexandra Rowland’s A Taste of Gold and Iron, Spy x Family (manga & anime) and Lightfall: Shadow of the Bird (graphic novel). All time faves, anything by Martha Wells or Lois McMaster Bujold.
On unofficially published book front, Mist (danmei novel that is full of time travel paradoxes done mindbendingly well). Heaven Official’s Blessing is another fave.

Don't get this!

No grimdark, I want happy endings in all my fiction. No horror.

Other notes

Maybe some mind blowing comics, since my mind was blown by the animated Link Click this year and now I hear there’s also a comic book version. Not this, but something else. Surprise me.
