Long story short: this blog is getting a rebranding. Huzzah! How’s that for ripping off the Band-Aid? In all honesty, this has been a long time coming, and it’s something I’ve put a lot of thought and consideration into, so I’m excited to finally be moving forward with it. So let’s get into some of […]
Young Adult Historical Fiction World War II PTSD Death Many thanks to the Fantastic Flying Book Club and Little, Brown Books for Young Readers for an eARC in exchange for an honest, unbiased review and for including me on this blog tour. Quotes are taken from […]
As per my normal brand, I am completely late with jumping on this readathon. It’s only partly my fault. Okay, completely my fault, but at least the reasons are good this time. I don’t have a great history of follow-ups when it comes to readathons. I love the idea, and I eagerly join, but when […]
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. Friday 56 is a meme hosted by Freda’s Voice, where you turn to page 56 (or 56%) in what you’re reading a find a snippet that jumps […]
Fantasy Epic Fantasy Gore War Death Many thanks to Orbit for a review copy in exchange for an honest, unbiased review. This review may contain spoilers for the first two books. I spent something like 1,500 pages fretting over these characters, and let me tell […]
It’s time again to ask ourselves the three W’s:Would you learn blood magic?Would you pledge yourself to a god?Would you seek to become one? 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 think you’ll read next? WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme […]
If you’ve been part of the bookish community for any time at all, you’ve suffered from the struggle that is FOMO. In laymen’s terms, that’s Fear Of Missing Out. It happens a lot with hyped books, especially, because there has to be a reason why everyone loves it, right?! What if they all know something […]
Mystery Crime Romance As a writer, as soon as I read the premise, I knew I was going to have to read this. It also helped that I’d already seen good things about it, but that summary? Phew. I immediately loved the idea, because it’s one of those really […]
Oh hai. Is this where I put the caveat that, normally, I’m not a huge fan of epic fantasy? Because I’m not. Or I haven’t been. Lately, I’ve been trying to give things another go rather than writing them off, so here we are. John Gwynne’s The Faithful and the Fallen has been recommended to […]
I’ve spent days trying to give this giveaway some sort of catchy name, but I’ve got nothing. The “End of Times” giveaway seemed a little doom and gloom. The “Practice Social Distancing by Staying at Home and Reading” giveaway is too much of a mouthful, even if it’s good advice. The “Here, Have A Book” […]
