Lose Yourself in the World of Books
The Greek Myths Reimagined #2 I hadn't realized it was almost exactly a year ago I reviewed Mythos, as I had also listened to it as an advanced listening copy on Libro.fm! It's a great follow-up, this time following the Greek human and demi-god heroes versus the gods themselves. Synopsis From the publisher marketing:In this… Continue reading Heroes by Stephen Fry
Ink & Sigil #1, Iron Druid Chronicles Spin Off I love fantasy, but I discovered I don't read a lot of fantasy by cis white dudes. Because most of fantasy is written by them, I often go looking for stories by women, POC, or LGBTQIA+ authors. But occasionally, a description will nab me, or a… Continue reading Ink & Sigil by Kevin Hearne
I love Sarah's Scribbles dearly (and am kicking myself for not having reviewed those books on here yet and will do so next week) and so when I found out Sarah Andersen was doing a new project, I knew I would have to read it! Synopsis From the publisher marketing:Elsie the vampire is three hundred… Continue reading Fangs by Sarah Andersen
The Adventure Zone #1 Many of my Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) playing friends have told me how much they love The Adventure Zone. I'm not a big podcast person, but I do love a good fantasy graphic novel! So when the first volume was released, I decided to pick it up and give it a… Continue reading Here There Be Gerblins by The McElroys
In Sunday's review of Mythos, I mentioned I was struggling with writing reviews lately. I don't know what's been going on with me - maybe it's the fact that I've been reading parts of so many books and haven't finished as many as I'd like, or that the independent bookstore I work at has been… Continue reading Favorite Graphic Novels
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
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
I love a good fairy tale adaptation and when I first heard the true story of the Little Mermaid, I became a bit obsessed with all accurate adaptations. Synopsis Princess Margrethe has been hidden away while her kingdom is at war. One gloomy, windswept morning, as she stands in a convent garden overlooking the icy sea,… Continue reading Mermaid by Carolyn Turgeon
I’ll readily admit that Ella’s dark green dress on the front cover of the first paperback edition was what first caught my attention. But given my established record as a lover of fairy tale adaptations, it should come as no surprise that this is the book that started my obsession! Synopsis How can a fairy's… Continue reading Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine
