So, The Hollows series was the very first Read-along I hosted in my early days of blogging at Yummy Men & KickAss Chicks. I chose it because I had heard so many great things about it but had never read the series. It was also 2014 and the year the “final” book was released, Witch with […]
I’m working my way through T. Kingfishers entire catalog and picked up Sumer in Orcas when it was a kindle deal. I’ve enjoyed every story by her that I have read so far and Summer In Orcas is continuing that trend. A portal fantasy in the same vein as Narnia but with a little extra […]
Our favorite 2000 year old druid returns to fight another day. Since he angered every god in Hammered and is being hunted by many, he decides the only way to live without worry is to fake his death. So with the help of the Navajo trickster Coyote, he, Oberon and Granuaile, his apprentice, manage […]
I didn’t know what to expect here but I love scifi and Murderbot is one of my very favorite series. However, Witch King feels more like epic fantasy. There are lots of characters and types of characters with complex abilities and magic. I think I will definitely want to read again, possibly listening while reading […]
The Fury of Kings is a the first book in a new series The Erland Saga, a new debut fantasy set in a recognizable format of warring families and various PoVs that roll out the world around you. This is a staging book with a few epic battles and a question of what is happening in […]

The Nameless Restaurant is the first book in a in the Hidden Dishes series currently focused around a restaurant in Toronto that is so hidden by magic you basically have to stumble into, unless you are magical and just happen to know where it is. This reads half like a food blog and half like […]
The Fall of the House is the third and final book in the Secrets of the Red Room series. Derek Hawthorne is a spy and works for The House as part of the Red Room. Each department has a different colored “Room”. I can’t remember them all, but there is a black and white room […]
Wayward is the sequel to The Wanderers. They are both long books, covering a pandemic, white nationalism, artificial intelligence and other timely social issues which were not as prevalent at the time the books were written. For me, it was the combination of a good story with many issues to consider from different perspectives. It’s […]
Perilous Times is a debut novel by Thomas D. Lee. What it should have been, was an Arthurian tale set in modern day, fighting dragons and magic. What it was, is a SJW (social justice warrior) blend of one of the most iconic lore’s known with climate activism and the new everything is racist movement. […]
