This time of year calls out for comfort food. What better way to enjoy the season, than to pull out my comfort reads and enjoy them all over again. Poison Study is one of my go-to rereads and it never fails to disappoint. This is a beautifully written gem that stuns you with its originality […]
The Raven Cycle is one of my favorite series ever, so I was both excited and really nervous to read Call Down the Hawk. This is the first book in a brand new series but I don’t think that the enjoyment level will be the same, or that all of the Dreaming stuff will make as […]
Cinder & the Prince of Midnight is the first book in a new series, Midnight Tales by Susan Ee. I enjoyed the Penryn & the End of Days series by this author and was excited to see what her take on a classic fairytale would be. Susan Ee didn’t disappoint with a new dark twist […]
For some reason, I thought Thunderhead was the sequel to Scythe and it was the end of the Arc of a Scythe series. After I finished reading, I went to look because, man, it could NOT end there. I wouldn’t call it a cliffhanger but there is so much more I want to know. The […]
I was happy to continue with the Mythos Academy Colorado series, which follows (and is a spoiler for) the related Mythos Academy series. I like Rory and her strength of spirit. She is brave without being totally stupid. She is willing to risk herself for others. The team has talented people and cool tech gadgets […]
I’ve read a few books in the related Mythos Academy series which came first. It is referenced, maybe a little too much, in Spartan Heart. I have to be a little careful with YA because I sometimes want to roll my eyes. I do better with YA fantasy. There are usually a few things happening […]
I admit, I picked up The Thief, the first book in The Queen’s Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner, because Steve West was the narrator. Insert blushing emoji. Although this series has been around for a long time and is a perennial favorite with middle school librarians, I went in totally blind to this story […]
Juliet Marillier is a master storyteller. I have enjoyed everything I have read of her work. I was so excited to read The Harp of Kings; it has been on my radar for almost a year. Unfortunately, it was off timing because I was exhausted from moving and it is a longish book. I always […]
Now we have reached the end of The Great Library series. I have enjoyed them all. The series should be read in order as the political and personal happenings would be tough to follow out of order. The characters develop over time and these young adults find their way, fight for their ideals and strive […]
Unbound is the second book of the Archived series and needs to be read after The Archived or you will have no idea what is happening. It starts up at the end of the summer as Mac is getting ready for her first day of school. This has a solid conclusion for the story arc, […]
