Lose Yourself in the World of Books
Greek Myths Reimagined #1 Mythos was included as one of Libro.fm's advanced listening copies for booksellers and as I was in the mood for something a little different for my evening listening (and I've always loved Stephen Fry), I figured it was a good one to try out! Synopsis From the Front Flap:Rediscover the thrills,… Continue reading Mythos by Stephen Fry
Over the last few weeks I mentioned that I have a personal “YA Fab Five” and that I really don’t read much other YA, disputed reading a great deal of it up until the last few years. I still like the general but have been finding the writing quality to have fallen off recently as… Continue reading YA Fab Five
The Assassin's Blade, Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight, Heir of Fire, Queen of Shadows, Empire of Storms, Kingdom of Ash This review is SPOILER FREE! What feels like many years ago, I kept seeing this book cover that looked super cool. It was green and had a girl who looked like a total badass… Continue reading Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas
There are few feelings as special as getting yourself lost in the world of a book. Below are just a few of my favorites! The Lost Queen by Signe Pike Strathclyde: I first traveled to Scotland in June of 2018 and took a lengthy road trip through the country in January 2019 and am now… Continue reading Favorite Book Settings
Lost Queen #1 I'm reading fiction again! Oh my gosh, it's a shocker! First time in 2 years!!! Well, other than Dear Mrs. Bird, but that doesn't entirely count... Synopsis From Advanced Reader Copy:Already being compared to Outlander, Camelot, and The Mists of Avalon, this spellbinding debut introduces Languoreth - a forgotten queen of sixth-century… Continue reading The Lost Queen by Signe Pike
Nevernight Chronicle #1 I've been trying to read Nevernight for the better part of two and a half years. Which is weird, because I really like it. I don't know why it's taken me so long to read it, save for my occasionally annoying new obsession with all thing nonfiction that makes fiction seem boring.… Continue reading Nevernight by Jay Kristoff
Peter Pan #1 I own more editions of Peter Pan than I care to admit. I've seen the movie of the Broadway musical with Mary Martin more times than I can count. And yet, as an adult, I'd never reread my favorite book. Until now. Synopsis On a starry night, Peter Pan and his fairy friend Tinker… Continue reading Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie
Rampant & Ascendant Unicorns are a pretty hot topic these days so I figured it was time to honor someone who led the charge for unicorns before the train even left the station. Rampant Synopsis Forget everything you ever knew about unicorns… Astrid Llewelyn has always scoffed at her eccentric mother’s stories about killer unicorns. But… Continue reading Killer Unicorns duology by Diana Peterfreund
Shades of Magic #1 Do you ever look at your shelves of books and think "This book has been here too long."? That's how I've felt about A Darker Shade of Magic - I've had it since 2015 and I've been recommending it to bookstore patrons for just as long, but without admitting that I… Continue reading A Darker Shade of Magic by V. E. Schwab
A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, The Book of Life Back in January 2013 I was trying to find a new favorite book (which never works, you can’t force it) and I had been eyeing A Discovery of Witches for a while and decided to take a chance on it. I read the first… Continue reading All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness
