Book Review: Magic for Liars by Sarah Gailey
Magic for Liars is a book that seemed like it captured all of my interests — it’s set at a magic school in my home state of California and features a murder mystery that our non-magical private investigator must solve. Although I liked Magic for Liars well enough, it didn’t quite meet my high expectations. Continue reading

Book Review: Spellswept and Snowspelled by Stephanie Burgis
I’ve been seeing these novellas, particularly Snowspelled, pop up all over my bookish social media feeds for ages. However, I was compelled to buy and read them when I found out that Emma Newman, one of my favourite authors, had been selected to narrate the audiobooks.

I’ve been reading quite a lot lately, but it doesn’t necessarily reflect… Continue reading

Monthly Wrap-Up: April 2019
It feels like an absolute age since I’ve been here, despite a couple posts sprinkled here and there throughout the month. Things have been so crazy lately between starting a new job, adjusting to a whole new commute, going through a terrible reading/blogging/BookTube slump, and generally planning and plotting other projects. Also, life. That gets… Continue reading
