Legend of the Touched by JF Jenkins #JFJenkins @sophiarose1816

Lately, I’ve returned to a series I haven’t touched in years so I have been delighted to participate in Series on Sunday which helped get me properly motivated. The Dragons Saga, a Young Adult fantasy series caught my attention back in 2012. I read the first two books when they released and […]

🎧 The Listeners by Maggie Stiefvater @maggiestiefvater.bsky.social‬ @theerinbennett.bsky.social‬ @penguinaudio.bsky.social‬ #LoveAudiobooks #JIAM @RobinBridgeFour @mstiefvater

Maggie Stiefvater has been one of my go to authors for great stories since I first listened to The Scorpio Races over a decade ago. She was one of the few YA writers I stuck with after moving on from most YA. The Listeners is her first shot at an adult novel and while much […]

The Potency of Ungovernable Impulses by Malka Older @m_older @older.bsky.social @tordotcom @tordotcom.bsky.social

I have really been enjoying the Mossa & Pleiti series with two women normally in an academic setting mystery. Mossa is an investigator who is good at her work, but very uncertain in social circumstance. I’d almost say she is autistic but Pleiti also has the hesitation about things in their relationship. Pleiti is an […]

The Witch Roads by Kate Elliott @kateelliottsff.bsky.social @torbooks.bsky.social @RobinBridgeFour

Worldbuilding is one of the things Kate Elliott does well, having read a few of her books for comparison. The Witch Roads leans into this love of worldbuilding heavily as she takes the reader on a journey through a smugglers route, treacherous not only due to the difficulty of the route and the company traveling […]

🎧 Death at a Highland Wedding by Kelley Armstrong @kelleyarmstrong.bsky.social @katehandford @macmillanaudio.bsky.social #LoveAudiobooks @KelleyArmstrong @MacmillanAudio @MinotaurBooks

I have not always been a fan of time travel but this author has two series where it is an element and I love them. A Rip Through Time series is where a modern day police detective ends up 150 years earlier. So the story is primarily set historically. I would read this story in order […]

🎧 Midnight Auto Parts by Hailey Edwards @haileyedwards.bsky.social #CandaceMarieJoice @tantoraudio.bsky.social #KindleUnlimited #LoveAudiobooks @HaileyEdwards @TantorAudio

The Body Shop series is one best read in order because of the character growth and story arc as is typical in urban fantasy. Frankie died in the previous story and came back. She is getting used to her new status and abilities. Her relationship with Kierce is developing. Things start off with one of […]

Thrifty Thursday: Grace Hamilton Edition #GraceHamilton #ThriftyThursday #KindleUnlimited

The purpose of Thrifty Thursday is to read a book which was free (at some point). This is a collection of freebies I have read which are in the dystopian genre. I am starting with books by Grace Hamilton. I’m appreciating the survivalist and prepper skills. There are mostly first books in series and they […]
