I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. Let us take a moment to appreciate this cover, shall we? This is the first time I've reviewed a short story collection, and probably the longest review I have ever written, There is a short review…
I know what you're thinking ... why another challenge based readathon? They never seem to go well. I love the idea of them though, so I want to give them another chance. This one seems like a good candidate for a number of reasons It is two weeks long -- 7 books in two weeks…
The month of August was all about series fiction — I finished two series, caught up on two series which are still ongoing, and started two new series (one of which is shaping up to be a personal favourite). I also read a great graphic novel that had nothing to do with any of it. …

I'm going to be more specific, here are five fantasy series I think more people should check-out. Doctrine of Labyrinths Quartet by Sarah Monette This is the shakiest of my…

The Poppy War by R. F. Kuang is one of the most intense books I have ever read. I finished this book a month ago and yet I still cannot stop thinking about it. Please keep in mind that this is adult fantasy and very dark adult fantasy at that. Trigger warnings for everything. If this is…
My plan -- yes I had a plan -- for the Smutathon readathon was to read seven romance books between July 9-15th. I read three. It wasn't that reading seven romances in a week was an entirely unrealistic expectation. Even with working full time, I generally get through romances fairly quickly, also a bunch of…
I read six books in June for a total of 2301 pages. Hardly anything compared to March or April, but actually more in line with my average reading. Two of the novels were adult, three young adult and one was middle-grade. A majority of what I read was fantasy (3) along with 1 science fiction,…
I can't believe we are already in the middle of 2018, actually past the middle (as I am writing this on July 2). This tag is a great way to review what you have read so far this year. It was created by Chami at IsThatChami and Elly at EarlGreyBooks. As of now, I have read…
