Things have been a little quiet around here, but that just means there’s a lot to catch-up on! Let’s get started, shall we? Some personal news first: I went to WorldCon! It was wonderful and a little overwhelming; I really wish I’d been able to go with a friend, as was the original plan. But […]
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 tropes!

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. I closed this book just a few seconds ago as I type this, and my head is pounding about as hard as my […]
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!

Tomorrow sees the release of three books I’ve been incredibly excited about for a long time! I could have sworn this book contained LGBT+ themes when the premise first crossed my screen, but whether I hallucinated them or they’ve been removed, this still looks like an incredibly interesting story. I haven’t read a lot of […]
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 […]
So it is probably an abominably bad idea, but what the hell, this sounds like a lot of fun and I need motivation! The #Iron TomeAThon is a readerthon running throughout July, hosted by Aimal of Bookshelves and Paperbacks over here. The goal is to read adult fantasy books – no YA! – with points […]
