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 […]
Years ago—probably close to a decade now!—I snagged most of Dannika Dark’s Mageri series through some Audible deals, without reading a single one. I was hearing so many overwhelmingly positive things that I was convinced I’d love the books. Fast forward to 2024, and guess what? Still hadn’t read a single one. But thanks to […]

I started reading the eARC, way back in January before it was released, and got about 24% into it and just couldn’t catch interest. Now I had a chance to try it on audio from the library and it went much better. I don’t know if it was mood timing or what, but I really […]
A Tide of Black Steel is the first book in the new Age of Wrath series by Anthony Ryan. Based in Norse mythology with Vikings type seafaring peoples, I enjoyed the start and set up of what is going to be an epic journey. A Tide of Black Steel is set in the same world […]
Any story with a main character librarian is worth considering. Sherry moved about 6 years ago to take the position in Winesap, New York. She has had quite a run on solving mysteries of town murders recently. She enjoys being good at it. I liked Sherry and her personal journey throughout the story. Her sort of […]
With the autumn season heading this way, I forgot how much I enjoy magic and witches. I always love found families, finding yourself, and an uplifting win. Belle has been doubting herself, not sure if she can take over running Lunar Books when her boss/owner retires. So the boss decides to give her son a […]
