Book reviews and publishing news with Dr. Michelle Petty. Genres: Fantasy, Romance, and Historical Fiction. Yes, also Romantasy. What flavor? My tastes range from cozy to epic to gothic, and I care about spotlighting diverse representation, from queernorm worlds to Black leads. If a book would work in one of my classes, I'll talk about that, too, but I promise I won't get too in the professor weeds. ;) drpetty.substack.com

    Petty Reads & Writes Ep. 7

    Episode 7! I cover some of the disappointing news from The Bookseller’s Black Publishing Focus issue, but also finally get to gush about Analeigh Sbrana’s Heir of Prophecy, out this August and available for preorder. (I promise, y’all; I am getting no kickbacks. I just enjoy geeking out about Black romantasy writers.)
