Welcome, science fiction fan!

Hi! I'm Alina Leonova — a sci-fi author — but this website is mainly about other people's books. Here, I talk about science fiction (and sometimes fantasy) written by women, trans and non-binary authors as part of my quest to broaden my horizons. I review books by traditionally published and indie authors, famous as well as new, do interviews, create lists and recommendations and post an occasional short story of my own. Look around, feel at home. If you love sci-fi and want to discover new authors, you are in the right place!

Subscribe to my newsletter to get updates. I won't be spammy, I only send emails sporadically.

Feel free to contact me if you want me to review your book or have any questions. I'd love to hear from you!

You can also find me on Mastodon, BlueSky and Twitter (but I'm almost never there).
