Romantasy is what you get when romance and fantasy begrudgingly set aside their rivalry and make a love-child that blends magic with stabbiness . . . but in a steamy way? I confess that I used to think that romantasy wasn’t my thing, even though it’s hard to imagine that was ever the case. Because […]
I feel like novellas are really trending lately, and why shouldn’t they? Sometimes readers are busy (rare, but sure, nerds have lives too) and there’s nothing better than a short, bite-sized book to satisfy your reading needs.

New years mean different things to everyone. Sometimes new resolutions. Sometimes the marking of new opportunities.

Nothing like providing me with Herculean feats, right? I’m pretty sure I should get, like, demigod powers after this. Just saying. […]
