Vacation Picks

We are finally hitting the summer months, and with that months that I look forward to when it comes to reading in particular. Given the different personalities even in my own family I know there are some who enjoy just sitting by the pool or on the beach reading, and there are those who have...

Magical Reads

Without going straight into the usual Harry Potter picks, there are a number of books every year coming out that either have an element of magic in their stories or focus entirely on magic. Some can be dark, others feel like stepping into a second home, but all bring magic to life. I will say...

Empire of Gold by S.A. Chakraborty {Book Review}

I was introduced to the Daevabad Trilogy by Instagram/Chance, and it is perhaps one of my favorite books I've stumbled upon with that app. I loved City of Brass so much that I am still sad it had to be left behind after sand/water damage left it in really bad condition, and while Kingdom of...

The Honey Don’t List by Christina Lauren {Book Review}

I had to count my growing stack of Christina Lauren novels before writing this post, and it's now at five novels! For many that might sound like it's not a lot, but I think it's only been a year and a half at most when I came across The Unhoneymooners on Instagram and got hooked....

Top 5 Time Travel Novels

This one is definitely a niche when it comes to my shelves. When you think of books with time travel there are a definite few that come to mind, but a solid list of five was pretty hard. I had to go all the way back to when I first got on goodreads! So what...

Twice in a Blue Moon by Christina Lauren {Book Review}

Ever since reading the Unhoneymooners last year I'm pretty sure I've been on a Christina Lauren kick. I mean, what else do you call reading at least 4 of their books in less than a year? It would be different if it was one whole series, but these are stand alone, so yep, we are...

The Kingdom of Copper by S.A. Chakraborty {Book Review}

I'm not sure what got me to pick up City of Brass and take it on vacation, but whatever it was, thank you! Besides having to leave that copy at the beach (Sand, so much sand, and it dried two times its thickness), that was one of the best reads I've had in a while,...

The Lowdown On: Judging a Book by its Cover

Whether you like to admit to this one or not, it feels like we've all done this one at least once. It's actually difficult to avoid if you're in a physical or even digital book store given that the cover is almost always front and center. It's by design and it's slowly become one of...

The Guinevere Deception by Kiersten White {Book Review}

One of my favorite stories growing up was the story of King Arthur. There was this illustrated version I always checked out at the library, and no matter how many times I read it I was addicted. It likely started my obsession with the medieval world, and drove me to want to write in it...

January TBR

We are off on another year! It's a time of happiness/excitement and a time of groaning as we take in the number of things we didn't achieve the last year. I almost met my challenge of reviewing every book I read, but was beaten by a series I thought I had reviewed (big fail), so...
