One of the many things that fantasy has going for it is it’s just plain more interesting than the real world. We don’t even have time for me to list all the ways, but trust me, there’s a lot of them. Still, reality might be just that much more bearable if we were able to […]
Middle Grade Fantasy Humor Dragons Many thanks to NetGalley and Little, Brown Books for Young Readers for a review copy in exchange for an honest, unbiased review. Quotes are taken from an unfinished version and may differ from the final product. That title is a mouthful, and I […]
It may come as no surprise that the woman with the dragon layout has a thing for fantasy. But in case you hadn’t noticed yet … I do. Fantasy is definitely my thing. It makes up the majority of what I read, and even when I read other genres, they tend to have a fantasy/magical […]

It’s time to play “guess that book” and also watch our TBRs weep. Book Beginnings is hosted by Rose City Reader and is all about the first line of a current/upcoming read.

It’s time again to ask ourselves the three W’s:What would you do if you found a book of magic?Would you use it to try to help others?Would you try to unlock all its secrets? Wait, no, that’s not right. We ask these three W’s:What are you currently reading?What did you recently finish reading?What do you […]
