Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish and is now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. Check out upcoming Top Ten themes on Jana’s blog! Today’s TTT is about those authors whose works you pre-order before you’ve finished hearing the pitch of their next book, because you know that no matter what they’re […]
Okungbowa has done something special here.
Wow do I have thoughts about this one. Like – let me get it out of the way and say that this is beautifully written (seriously, Ray’s description and pacing and tone and everything seduced me looong before we got to the sex scenes); the characters are fucking awesome; the magic is breathtaking; the worldbuilding […]
Tomorrow sees the release of three books I’ve been incredibly excited about for a long time!
I received this book for free from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. This a wonderful graphic novel that I read in a single setting – I couldn’t put it down, and had no desire to! Mooncakes felt […]

That was not a mistake; Burgis writes the kind of MG that packs a punch for adults too, and DwaCH is now […]
