I’m here to tell you Fourth Wing is worth the hype. I highly recommend it! Who doesn’t love dragons? There is great world-building with young adults trying for different colleges of a sort. Violet, our heroine, is the daughter of a dragon rider and a scribe. Because her physical strength is limited and she loves […]
I first learned of this book on the Factually Podcast with Adam Conover. I really enjoyed that conversation and always wanted to hear more about these four cities. I kinda forgot about it until I was looking for my next audiobook and I stumbled upon this one. I’m glad I did. It was a really […]
If you have enjoyed Jack Campbell’s other series, Lost Fleet and Beyond the Frontier, and Lost Stars, Genesis Fleet series, you will love this too. I started reading Jack Campbell in 2015 when I was sent an ARC of one of the Leviathon, which was the final book in the Beyond the Frontier series. Of […]
Epic fantasy, by definition, should be epic. It typically involves a grand and sweeping narrative that spans a vast world with many characters, cultures, and conflicts. I find that they are often stories that stay with me forever. That might be good, seeing as they usually require a huge investment in time (and sometimes money, […]

A Wicked Game is the third book of the Ruthless Rivals series, Harriet and Captain Morgan Davies’ families have been at it for generations since some stole a pig or possibly a woman, it has been so long it is hard to say. The new generation usually just taunts one another and the children who […]
I really enjoy the historical mystery series by this author and she has multiple series. For the HoHoHo Read-athon, I listened to the newest Christmas story. Goodreads doesn’t consider it a series, but I think of it that way. All of the Christmas stories are a bit shorter, about a half book size but longer than […]
Bastille vs. the Evil Librarians is the final book of the Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians series where we change PoVs from Alcatraz to Bastille. You might wonder why on book 6 we are changing PoVs but that is easy, because Alcatraz is a blubbering mess for the first half of the book and Bastille […]
I waited awhile for the few audio books without David Chandler narrating in the Cork O’Connor series to be rerecorded by him. I caught up to current this year since that happened and was ready for more. I would read these books in order as the personal and career changes happen as we go along. […]
