Lose Yourself in the World of Books
A Brief History of Montmaray, The FitzOsbornes in Exile, The FitzOsbornes at War My sister told me I absolutely had to read these books, and while being told to read something is not usually a good incentive, this time I am so happy that she introduced me to these books. These are three of my… Continue reading The Montmaray Journals by Michelle Cooper
Shadow and Bone #1 / Grishaverse #1 I just realized I'm reviewing the Leigh Bardugo books I've read in the opposite order in which I read them! It you have any interest in reading any of the books in her Grisha-verse, I recommend starting with this one and reading them in the order they were… Continue reading Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
A Great and Terrible Beauty, Rebel Angels, The Sweet Far Thing I first read A Great and Terrible Beauty shortly after it was first released many moons ago... in 2003 when I was a freshman in high school. I loved it from the very beginning - it was one of the first young adult fantasy books that… Continue reading Gemma Doyle trilogy by Libba Bray
Warcross #1 Marie Lu is officially now the most reviewed author on this site! This may be due in large part to a very exciting event that took place at the bookstore I work at two weeks ago when I had the great of fortune of moderating a discussion between the lovely Marie Lu and… Continue reading Warcross by Marie Lu
I enjoy a well written WWII narrative as much as the next person - there's a reason there is a whole sub-genre of historical fiction dedicated to the time period - 70+ years later it still holds the world's attention, particular in the current world climate that seems to threaten WWIII. I picked up The Nightingale not… Continue reading The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah

Sometimes I get so thoroughly immersed in a genre it can be hard to pull myself out to switch to something else, something new and different. As I get to the end of a genre jaunt, however, my reviews tend to become… Continue reading Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
Flame in the Mist #1 Time for another beauty by Renee Ahdieh! She is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors and when the ARC (advanced reader copy) of Flame in the Mist came into the store, my coworkers were nice enough to make sure it wound up in my hands! Synopsis There was only… Continue reading Flame in the Mist by Renee Ahdieh
Six of Crows #1 / Grishaverse #4 It's been nearly two years since I read my first Leigh Bardugo book, Shadow & Bone, and was introduced to the Grishaverse. I enjoyed it greatly, but when I was reading it, everyone was talking about her newest book, Six of Crows, and how spectacular it was going to be.… Continue reading Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
A Court of Thorns and Roses, A Court of Mist and Fury, A Court of Wings and Ruin #1. I will read anything by Sarah J. Maas. #2. It's based on Beauty and the Beast. #3-#10. Repeat #1. A Court of Thorns and Roses Synopsis Feyre is a huntress. She thinks nothing of slaughtering a wolf to… Continue reading A Court of Thorns and Roses trilogy by Sarah J. Maas
Legend #1 In May of 2015 I traveled to NYC for my first BookCon, and what an experience it was - completely overwhelming, but wonderful as well. My favorite part of the experience, was a panel with Marie Lu, Sabaa Tahir and Renee Ahdieh and I told myself I would read all of their books!… Continue reading Legend by Marie Lu
