December 2023 Most Anticipated Fantasy and Science Fiction Book Releases
We’re barrelling towards the end of 2023, and with the end of the year comes some major book releases that I’ve been waiting for ages to see. I expanded my list of anticipated releases this month beyond just fantasy because while the releases are a little more limited in December in comparison to other months,…

Book Review: Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros
Iron Flame was my most anticipated read of the year. I devoured Fourth Wing when I finally managed to get my hands on it earlier this year, and have been eager to continue the series ever since. I think it’s often difficult to live up to the expectations when a book is as hyped as…

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: Enchanted to Meet You by Meg Cabot
I feel like I’m on a bit of a romance streak lately, which is rare for me. I do read a lot of fantasy romance, but I consider that a very separate genre from contemporary romance. That’s why when a friend told me about Enchanted to Meet You, I was incredibly intrigued. A contemporary romance…

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…
