His Majesty’s Dragon

His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I've was a bit hesitant about reading this because Uprooted is one of my favorite books but I didn't like Spinning Silver. Because I loved Uprooted so much I wanted to love all of Novik's books but I was batting 500 so I didn't want to make it…

Harley Merlin and the Secret Coven

Harley Merlin and the Secret Coven by Bella Forrest 🌟🌟🌟🌟 I think I'm getting old ... The "we are going to pick two 18 year olds out of a coven full of adults to save everything" trope just doesn't make sense to me anymore. I wouldn't have thought twice about that when I was 18…

The Silvered

The Silvered by Tanya Huff, Narrated by Dee Macaluso 🌟🌟🌟 This book was super close to being awesome but just didn't quite make it. The beginning and the ending were bad, but I really really enjoyed the middle. Actually, I am not sure if the beginning itself was bad, or if the narrator was just…

Is Charlie Bowater the Cover Artist?

The Nobleman’s Guide to Scandal and Shipwrecks

The Nobleman's Guide to Scandal and Shipwrecks (Montague Siblings #3) by Mackenzi Lee 🌟🌟🌟🌟 I finally finished the Montague Siblings series!!! It took me a minute but I did it! (The third book wasn't out when I read the first two so it wasn't really my fault it took me so long) I enjoyed this…

Top Ten Tuesday: One-Word Reviews for the Last Ten Books I Read

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.  I thought this would be a super easy topic. I mean, how hard…

Locke & Key, Vol. 1: Welcome to Lovecraft

Locke & Key, Vol. 1: Welcome to Lovecraft by Joe Hill (Writer), and Gabriel Rodríguez (Artist) 🌟 Soooo before I even start, I want to let you know that you should probably disregard my review because I dislike horror and I only read this because it was my book club's pick for April. I know…

How to Defeat a Demon King in Ten Easy Steps

How to Defeat a Demon King in Ten Easy Steps by Andrew Rowe narrated by Suzy Jackson and Steve West 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I got this for free back when Audible let you choose a free book from a list every month. I added it to my library and promptly forgot about it. Then yesterday I was…

The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy

The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy (Montague Siblings #2) by Mackenzi Lee 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 This is a re-read for me so I really should have been prepared for the first chapter, but apparently I had blocked it from my memory. I am SUPER squeamish and the details given during the first chapter almost made me…
