Lose Yourself in the World of Books
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
Uprooted came to me highly recommended by a former coworker - she and I have very similar tastes (we call each other book-twins), so I figured it would be a sure thing. Synopsis Agnieszka loves her valley home, her quiet village, the forests and the bright shining river. But the corrupted Wood stands on the border,… Continue reading Uprooted by Naomi Novik
I have to admit, I'm a bit obsessed with the Norse. Since I first discovered the protagonist of my own novel, a Norse princess turned pirate back in December 2014, I've been trying to read anything I can get my hands on that might prove to be worthwhile for research. Add into it my love… Continue reading Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman
DC Icons #1 When I first saw the trailer for Wonder Woman, I couldn't wait to see it. When I found out that Leigh Bardugo was writing a YA adaptation, I was even more excited about it! As as new-ish fan of Wonder Woman, I have been keen to get my hands on anything relating to my… Continue reading Wonder Woman: Warbringer by Leigh Bardugo

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
Tales of History's Boldest Heroines, Hellions, and Heretics Back in October, when this beautiful tome arrived at the bookstore, my coworkers were debating where it should be shelved. I chimed in by saying they could hold off deciding for a few days, because it was coming home with me! Then again, pretty much any book… Continue reading Rejected Princesses by Jason Porath
Royally #1 I've always been an American Royalist, since I was a young girl and first learned about two real live princes actually existing in England and not just in Disney movies, I've been one of those people who follows there every move. My mother's own love of Princess Diana certainly didn't hurt my love… Continue reading Royally Screwed by Emma Chase
Freya #1 I don't remember exactly how I wound up with the advance reading copy (ARC) of Freya, but it definitely had my name written all over it - from my obsession with Norse mythology, to a badass woman on the cover, I was definitely going to inhale this book. Synopsis Freya is myth. She is… Continue reading Freya by Matthew Laurence
