Book Review: This Splintered Silence by Kayla Olson
I’ve been reading so much fantasy lately and I’ve had a craving for some great sci-fi. Enter This Splintered Silence — a book I had heard nothing about until I had the opportunity to request a copy. I’m so glad I took a chance on this novel — it is a fast paced sci-if thriller… Continue reading

Book Review: Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
I have started a very casual project of reading some classic YA books that have helped build the genre into what it is today. Throne of Glass was the first book I read for this little project, and I have to admit that I assumed I’d hate it. I’m (now) very vocal about my grumpy… Continue reading

Book Review: In an Absent Dream by Seanan McGuire
The Wayward Children series has been such a rollercoaster for me so far.

I was so apprehensive about reading the… Continue reading

One Goodreads reviewer described this book best: “this is the funniest book about domestic violence and murder that… Continue reading

Book Review: Transcription by Kate Atkinson
I always say how much I love historical fiction, yet I don’t read it nearly as much as other genres. When I heard about Kate Atkinson’s Transcription, it sounded like the exact kind of book I’d like to read. It was my first book by Atkinson and I’ll definitely be picking up more from her. Continue reading

Blog Tour: The Winter of the Witch by Katherine Arden
Welcome to my stop on the Winter of the Witch blog tour! You may know by now how much I absolutely love the Winternight trilogy, and while I was so sad that the series is coming to and end, I knew I had to read The Winter of the Witch as soon as possible –… Continue reading

Welcome to my stop on the Girl King blog tour! This highly anticipated YA fantasy novel hits shelves on 10 January of this year. I was lucky enough to get my paws on an early copy of this book, and while it wasn’t necessarily my cup of tea I think a lot of readers are… Continue reading
