A Book Witch, a reforming thief, a gnome and a professor walk into an adventure. Or something like that. Louella is every reader’s dream. She is a person who can tell you what you need to read next. She is so good at it that her store that travels between four kingdom’s is well known […]
Bodies of Magic is a standalone dark academia tale of five medical students thrown together for final exams covering the next five days. It’s stressful enough trying to solve five cases with people randomly selected to test with you. But when they walk into the first test and Ysabel, the best student in their class, […]
Call me Bartholomew!!! I absolutely fell in love with Rachel Gillig after reading her series The Shepard King. It had everything a new fantasy/fairytale/romance type of story should have. The Knave and the Moon is a strong conclusion to the The Stonewater Kingdom duology. A series that has given me back hope that sometimes authors have […]
Once upon a time, I was girl who had never heard of T. Kingfisher and I think my reading life was 10-15% less happy because of that. But then in 2021 something magical happened when I read the first book in the Swordheart series and fell…in…love. It was everything Romantasy should be but rarely is. […]
Rae Carson is one of those authors I have loved over the years, that not nearly enough readers have experienced yet. She does young adult so well, with strong smart heroines, great interesting and original plots, and romances that feel real instead of insta love or lust mistaken for love.

I have read and enjoyed almost every book from the Immortals After Dark series, which is set in an alternate world from this one. What I thought we were going to get was another formulaic story that you know will end in happily ever after for the couple involved. What I got was a much […]
In a world where everyone’s fate is woven into a magic tapestry some believe your entire life is already determined and there is nothing you can do about it. Others believe you have to change your profession every year to keep fate guessing. Others still believe that they need to chase after all their dreams […]
A dying woman gives her a message to deliver and a startling, unwanted gift so she journeys into the wildest, most feared lands to a little down where darkness brings terrible danger. Kay Grymes is a new to me author, but I couldn’t pass up a book with a western fantasy combo. Secrets of Gravers […]
I have enjoyed everything I have read from C.L. Polk. There are often diverse characters and a romance. The goals of the characters are often inspirational. In The Feywild Job, the characters are not so favorable, they are con artists. Saeldian is a con artist with a current partner Julie whose family has a big […]
