Book Review: Red Rising by Pierce Brown
Red Rising has been on my TBR for ages and I’m kicking myself for not starting it sooner. Set on a futuristic version of Mars, in a solar system where planets have been conquered by humans, this book had a plot that sucked me in immediately and had characters that were gorgeously layered with complexities…

Book Review: The Witchwood Knot by Olivia Atwater
It’s been a while since I read a historical fantasy, so I was thrilled when I was offered a complimentary advanced reader copy of The Witchwood Knot by Olivia Atwater from Net Galley and Starwatch Press in exchange for an honest review. This gothic romance was the perfect reintroduction to this genre for me.

Book Review: Dear Girls: Intimate Tales, Untold Secrets, and Advice for Living Your Best Life by Ali Wong
Last week, I had a long drive scheduled to visit family and no audiobooks downloaded to my phone. Since I knew I was going to have 5 uninterrupted hours of driving, on top of driving around the city for appointments and errands, I checked out what was immediately available online at my library and found…

Book Review: All My Rage by Sabaa Tahir
I picked up All My Rage because it was available immediately in my library and I needed a new audiobook for the long drive I was heading on. I knew it had been a very well-received novel, but knew little else beyond that. In the end, it completely blew me away.

Book Review: Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood
I don’t read a whole lot of contemporary romance, so even though I’ve seen everyone I know get obsessed with Ali Hazelwood, it still took me this long to pick up one of her books. I’m now regretting that because this one was so thoroughly enjoyable that I’m now craving more.

Book Review: A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas
I’m still making my way through my A Court of Thorns and Roses reread and still enjoying it just as much as the first time I went through it. I remember distinctly saying last month that I felt like A Court of Mist and Fury was my favourite book of the series, but upon rereading…

Book Review: A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid
I was so excited to receive A Study In Drowning by Ava Reid in my monthly Illumicrate box. I’m always a little cautious when it comes to really hyped books, but everything I’d heard about this one made it sound like something that was right up my alley. It definitely met my expectations in that…

Book Review: Infinity Alchemist by Kacen Callender
Infinity Alchemist is a new young adult fantasy due to hit shelves early in the new year and it has one of the more original approaches to magic that I’ve read in the last while. When I read YA novels, I typically expect the world-building and magic aspects to be a little more simplistic, but…

Book Review: The Fragile Threads of Power by V.E. Schwab
The original Shades of Magic trilogy by V.E. Schwab is one of the first fantasy series that I read when I came back to reading a couple of years ago. The series holds a special place in my heart, for helping me come back to reading for enjoyment and also for how wonderful the books…

Book Review: Wielder’s Bond by Melissa Mitchell
I read the first book in this series, Wielder’s Prize, as an ARC from Net Galley and enjoyed it, so when I felt like I needed something short and spicy to break up the larger books I’ve been reading lately, Wielder’s Bond seemed like the perfect choice. This is a truly bingeable series in multiple…
