Beauty and the Beast retellings are a love of mine. I think The Rose and the Thorn is maybe even the fourth of fifth one I’ve read this year and we are only in the beginning of March. There is just something about them that is so fun to me. Finding someone and seeing their […]
Marissa Meyer is the Queen of fairytale re-imaginings and I have loved her since first picking up the Lunar Chronicles years ago. Gilded is the first book in The Gilded series which is currently set to be a duology completely re-imagining the lore for the Rumpelstiltskin tale. I wasn’t as excited for this book as […]
Evershore is the third novella in the Skyward series and even though it is listed as 3.1 all the events in it happen before book 3 chronologically so I would read it then. Jorgen, call sign Jerkface, has so many new challenges ahead of him. With the disappearance of Cob he is on a rescue […]
Like most compilations I liked some of the stories and then others just weren’t really for me. I love romantic tropes, like most readers I totally have my favorites like friends to lovers, marrying a stranger and then falling in love, enemies to lovers…and the list goes on. I was hoping for ten different romantics […]
I’ve always enjoyed this author and the unique sorts of worlds they build. The premise is always intriguing. Roxy starts with someone dying. So throughout the whole book, I’m trying to figure out who it was. Roxy is the story of the opiod crisis through the lens of a family with two children. The parents […]
Perhaps she told a tiny lie back at her prestigious East Coast boarding school to the snobs before going home for what she anticipates will be the dreariest Christmas ever. But, that was before she finds herself showing an English guy what a small town American Christmas is all about and learns a thing or […]
Cytonic is the 3rd full length novel In Brandon Sanderson’s Skyward series. Just a note – there are 2 novellas between Starsight and Cytonic, which I highly recommend you read before you begin Cytonic or you will spend the entire time wondering what is going on with Jorgen, FM, Rig and all the rest of […]
I don’t think I grasped when I chose Sick Kids in Love that it was about high school age “kids.” I did enjoy the unique aspects of the characters. The couple’s support of each other in their respective illnesses allowed them to really connect and yet feel close enough to challenge each other on everything […]
I’ve loved Marissa Meyer since being so surprised by Cinder a Cinderella retelling which was so much more than just a retelling of an old fairytale. I was really interested to see what she would do with a good ole YA romance. Well I think she killed it with Instant Karma and while I still lover […]
I am really enjoying this Royal Houses series. House of Dragons was first and very exciting and unexpected. I loved the dragons and all the magic aspects in the world building, along with Royal Houses. The Society is sort of a law enforcement organization made up of fae with dragons providing extra abilities to help […]
