I’ve been more attracted to reading cozy fantasy this winter. I really enjoyed The Teller of Small Fortunes and now, The Rainfall Market. The story was written in another language originally and is translated. The main character is a teenage girl, Serin, who has many problems disadvantages in her life. She hears of a ticket […]
How to Steal a Galaxy is the second book in the Chaotic Orbits series featuring an unscrupulous Heroine who is always on a grift of some kind and this time she has agreed to go to a gala, steal something and make contact with Rian her crush, flirtation and the man she got one over […]
I chose this series after a poll and discussions with my team and several friends. The ebook or print are available at most libraries. The Edge and the last two Innkeeper audiobooks are at some libraries. The first four Innkeeper audiobooks are an Audible exclusive. The Edge series is more paranormal romance whereas Innkeeper is […]
Due to an early wake up and getting right to my emails, I was lucky enough to get a working code to receive this audiobook on Audible from the author’s newsletter. I love scifi and it is relatively short so I thought it would be fun. The basics here are aliens coming to earth to […]
I never know what I’ll get when reading a fantasy book. The Teller of Small Fortunes was described as cozy and that seems right. There isn’t a big war. The setting seemed rather historical as much fantasy does. Our heroine, Tao, has a wagon with her treasured mule, as she travels around Eshtera. She is […]
Run was Blake Crouch’s first published novel. It has recently been republished with some minor updates. I can see how this novel helped start his career and set him apart as an author. It is fast paced and action packed with plenty of crazy moments. Everything that I’ve grown to expect from a Blake Crouch […]
I really enjoyed the first book of this The Witch’s Compendium of Monsters series. I seem to enjoy many Slavic mythology fantasy books. I don’t want to repeat my review of the first book, so I’ll give you a very short recap of the world and characters. I would read these books in order. I […]
The Grimm Society is the first book in a series of the same name following Everly as she goes through a traumatic event with the loss of a parent that opens her up to being a Griever, someone who can see the Grimms living in this world. She is invited to be part of a […]
Blood of the Old Kings is a Korean novel translated to English. As I’ve found with other writers from other countries there is a distinct type of storytelling/flow that wasn’t specifically what I’m used to in American novels but might be more prevalent in Korean ones. I don’t think if you didn’t know the original […]
A cold case in the future sends a middle-aged detective and his younger superior on an investigative adventure that will reveal secrets from eighty years in the past that have consequences for the present. Both authors and narrator were all new to me, but I couldn’t pass up this sci-fi thriller after reading the blurb. […]
