Book Review: The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner
As you’ll know if you’ve been here awhile, I rarely read historical fiction, but I needed a book for a very long drive and this one was readily available at my library. I’m so glad that I picked it up because I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Book Review: A Soul of Blood and Ash by Jennifer Armentrout
The Blood and Ash series is one of the first fantasy series that I got into when I first came back to reading a couple of years ago, but over time, I’ve struggled to stay as into the books as I initially was. I remember being so gripped by the first book that I immediately…

Book Review: Grimoire Girl by Hilarie Burton Morgan
When I was younger, I wasn’t really a One Tree Hill fan, so while I knew of Hilarie Burton Morgan, I can’t say that I knew much about her or what brought her to fame. That said, I did see a bookstagrammer that I adore post about how lovely Grimoire Girl was and when I…

Book Review: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins
Like many, I was obsessed with The Hunger Games when I was younger. I can vividly remember reading all three books in a marathon fever dream in my dorm room while I ignored every paper and academic responsibility I had until I’d finished. I put off reading The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes because frankly,…

Graceling has been on my TBR for years, so when I had a travel-heavy week coming and noticed it was available through my library app on audio, I decided it was time to pick it up. I can see why this is a fantasy classic. It had an epic quest, involved some really interesting magic…

I feel like I say this every month, but wow, I can’t believe how fast November flew. Feels like it was just yesterday that we were carving pumpkins for Halloween and somehow now we’re heading straight into Christmas.

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: 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.
