ACOSF Part 1: Cloudy With a Chance of Spoilers
I sobbed my eyes out over ACOSF in a way I haven’t done in a really long time, and it had nothing to do with the plot and everything to do with the characters. Though this is a high fantasy novel, the portrayal of depression and anxiety and internal trauma is quite possibly the bestContinue reading “ACOSF Part 1: Cloudy With a Chance of Spoilers”
A Touch of Death – A Glimpse of What’s to Come?
Black Mirror meets the future in A Touch of Death, written by Rebecca Crunden. I’ll be honest, dystopians aren’t usually what I gravitate towards. There’s just something about the futuristic feel to them, the gloom and doom, the downfall of societies, that mostly stirs my anxieties instead of offers me escape. Like, we are justContinue reading “A Touch of Death – A Glimpse of What’s to Come?”
King of Scars Review
Nikolai. Nikolai. Nikolai. I’m finally back in Ravka, after my brief hiatus from the Grishaverse. If you’re new here, the Grishaverse and I have small bits of beef (*cough* this is your cue to pause this, read my reviews of the Shadow & Bone series and the Six of Crows duology, and come back toContinue reading “King of Scars Review”
A Touch of Di… I mean, Darkness
Who doesn’t love Greek mythology? Really, it is one of my favorite topics to read about, and I’ve always been obsessed with the legends of the gods. That obsession lead me to A Touch of Darkness, which explores the legend of Hades and Persephone in a modern setting. There are many different variations to theContinue reading “A Touch of Di… I mean, Darkness”
Books for Younger Readers
This is quite different than my usual scheduled programing, but I was inspired to put together a compilation of awesome books to read for younger readers by a kiddo I babysat. He’s ten, absolutely loves to read, and 90% of our conversations revolve around books. Because a lot of the books I currently own areContinue reading “Books for Younger Readers”
Legendborn
Well, well, well, if it isn’t me… back from my reading coma. Last week was absolutely bonkers, with the inauguration and everything in between. I’m PUMPED to have Joe Biden as president, and last Wednesday was one of the happiest days of the past year for me… but any time a major political event happens,Continue reading “Legendborn”
Kingdom of the Wicked: Witches, Princes, and Hell, Oh My!
HELL YESSSSSSSSSSSS. Guys, this book was fantastico *wink wink*. I think I actually screamed when I finished it, I can’t even be sure though because I was too hyped up on that cliffhanger ending. Kingdom of the Wicked had everything I was looking for and more. First off, I’m Italian (part of my family isContinue reading “Kingdom of the Wicked: Witches, Princes, and Hell, Oh My!”
A Curse so Dark and Lonely: A Curse so YA
Ayoo, I’m back on my fantasy novel kick! A Curse So Dark and Lonely caught my attention because 1) Bloomsbury is doing a great job promoting the third book coming out, and 2) sometimes a Beauty and the Beast retelling is just too enticing to pass up. The story follows our two main characters, HarperContinue reading “A Curse so Dark and Lonely: A Curse so YA”
The Duke & I: I Caved
Happy New Year friends! First book of 2021 is in the books, and I’m starting off the new year with The Duke & I. Curiosity got the better of me, as I don’t read many strictly romance novels, and I really wanted to read this book to compare it to the Netflix show (FOMO definitelyContinue reading “The Duke & I: I Caved”
