Magic and Mysteries

As I haven’t read a ton of books so far this year, I decided to lump together all the books that I read in the first quarter of this year. So here you go, the amazing, the okay, and the ugly: Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo: First up is a book that I had decidedContinue reading “January-March Wrap-Up 🐣”

*Beware, this review is very meandering and critical!* The only thing that I hate more than writing a negative review is reading my most anticipated book of 2020 and being overcome with disappointment. I knew this book might do that to me, but I had hope that the story that would be explored, that IContinue reading “Book Review: The Empire of Gold by S. A. Chakraborty 🧞‍♂️”

As we start a brand new year and decade, I want to begin on a good note. I read over 75 books this year, but there were 9 that truly stood out! Here they are in all of their glory. Enjoy! The Wicked King by Holly Black: This was one of the first things IContinue reading “My Favorite Reads in 2019 👑”

The year is coming to a close and the holiday season is now in full swing, and the books are so, so good, my friends! I haven’t been reading books as much as I was earlier in 2019, but they have been absolutely incredible! To start, I want to include some of the most amazingContinue reading “October-November Wrap-Up 🍁”

ARC provided by the publisher through Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review. “It occurred to me that it was a special person, a gentle one, who allowed another to keep her secrets. Or it was the sort of person who had secrets of her own.” Well, shit… this book was amazing. The world-building isContinue reading “Book Review: The Midnight Lie by Marie Rutkoski 🌳”

ARC provided by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This book is so hard for me to rate… There was definitely stuff here that sparked my interest for future books, but on its own I feel like it was pretty underwhelming. Also, depending on the direction this series goes I can see it beingContinue reading “Book Review: The Guinevere Deception by Kiersten White 🗡”

“You and I, we’ll always be different. There will always be something wild in us. Others will see what they want. It’s always been that way.” *I received a copy of this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.* I noticed this book on Netgalley a few times before I just had toContinue reading “Book Review: The Will and The Wilds by Charlie N. Holmberg 🍄”

These last two months have been pretty sparse for reading for me, so I just decided to combine them for my wrap-up. While I read less, I did still get into quite a few different stories via Asian dramas. I’ve been loving them for quite a while now, and am super glad to have foundContinue reading “August-September Wrap-Up 🌻”

Received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review! “I wish my love was more beautiful.” The day I received this I was telling everyone around how lucky and happy I was to get the opportunity to read this early. I thoroughly enjoyed The Gilded Wolves, and in turn fell in love withContinue reading “Book Review: The Silvered Serpents by Roshani Chokshi 🐍”

ARC provided by the publisher through Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review. I have to start this review out by saying that there’s a love triangle in this, and it’s definitely the icky sort… I feel like when it comes to love triangles, the only chance I might like it is if our mainContinue reading “Book Review: Bone Crier’s Moon by: Kathryn Purdie 🌑”
