The Raven Tower is a funny one because if you described it to me, I’d be sure it wouldn’t be my thing. However, I am so glad I took a chance on this weird and wonderful fantasy debut — I think it’s a book that will stick with me for a long time. Ann Leckie… Continue reading

Book Review: Everless by Sara Holland
Everless has been lurking on my TBR since late 2017, and I’ve only just had the chance to pick it up. I had heard amazing things about this book, but wasn’t sure about how much I’d enjoy it — I had thought I’d seen this kind of plot many times before. I was so wrong… Continue reading

Book Review: The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi
The YA book world is currently buzzing about The Gilded Wolves, a new heist novel from Roshani Chokshi that looked like so much fun. It has heists! Diversity! 17th century Paris! Magic!

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

Monthly Wrap-Up: January 2019
Why is it that January feels like the longest month of the year? Maybe it’s the cold and dark, maybe it’s the fact that it’s the start of a new year. Whatever it is, we survived! Hooray! This was an interesting month for reading. I started the month pretty poorly, but then managed to read… Continue reading
