Tokyo Ever After by Emiko Jean {Book Review}

Spring and Summer always puts me in a contemporary romance mood similar to how I read more fantasy come fall. I've always been a mood reader, but seasons impact that just as much as anything else! I think this book in particular had been one I found when building my anticipated releases of 2021 list,...

The Crown of Gilded Bones by Jennifer L Armentrout {Book Review}

It's been a while since I read this book thanks to my month of meh (I may just refer to it as that from now on), so I guess better late than never?? This book though became a highlight during that period of time, where I struggled to get myself not only to blog, but...

Anna K by Jenny Lee {Book Review}

Occasionally, I find myself looking for books outside the Fantasy/YA Fantasy categories, and often I'd say Romance/Contemporary books are a good avenue for this. I picked up Anna K after reading the summary online, and thinking this sounded fun. While the experience wasn't quite what I thought I'd be in for, I had a few...

Chain of Gold by Cassandra Clare {Book Review}

I can't believe we are already on another one of my anticipated reads for the year! When I made that list, I had not idea that three of five books on the list would release on the same date, though I also didn't know that each would be delayed either. I guess in some way,...

The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller {Book Review}

The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller hadn't been on my radar when I first began 2020. Going through Goodreads' giveaways was how I happened upon it, read the synopsis, and decided that if I didn't win (which is 100% of the time) then I would need to get it. I ended up preordering and...

Dangerous Alliance by Jennieke Cohen {Book Review}

Given how slow a start my reading challenge has gotten this year, I was needing a quick pick me up from my favorite Barnes and Noble. I already knew going in what book I was wanting, and it was of course, Dangerous Alliance. I was promised Jane Austen Romance, dark mystery, and a hard to...

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...

The Shatter Me Series by Tahereh Mafi {Series Review, Books 1-5}

There are a lot of really popular books out there, and a decent list from there that I have yet to read, and know I probably should. Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi has been one of those books I'd heard about for the longest time, and questioned if I should or shouldn't pick up the...

The Lowdown on: The Online Book Community

Once upon a time there was not an internet, nearby bookstore, nor weird judgement for reading. Once it was a rare thing to own a book, and pretty expensive at that. Now of course there are bookstores big and local, and an internet full of communities, one of the strongest and most welcoming being the...

The Beautiful by Renee Ahdieh {Book Review}

My obsession with Renee Ahdieh's work started with her duology, The Wrath & the Dawn, which somehow remains not only my favorite of her books, but also of the 1001 Nights Retellings I've read. If you haven't read that series yet, I highly recommend that you do. It is one of my favorites on my...
