Today, let’s talk about a topic that holds a special place in every bookworm’s heart: re-reading books. Ah, the joy of revisiting familiar stories, reconnecting with beloved characters, and reliving those unforgettable moments! But here’s the twist: as a blogger, I find myself caught in a curious conundrum when it comes to re-reading. As a […]
Dust Spells by Andrea Lynn
Dust Spells by Andrea Lynn is a young adult historical fantasy novel that I think is best described as 12 Dancing Princesses meets The Diviners by Libba Bray. It’s set in the 1930s in the Dust Bowl and tells the story of three sisters and one vagrant who discover a magical world where not all […]
Ruthless Vows (Letters of Enchantment #2) by Rebecca Ross
There were many things I enjoyed about this book: I loved how in the first book, we saw Iris falling in love with Roman. In this book, Roman had his mind wiped, and we saw him falling back in love with Iris. I thought that was a very nice twist. I really enjoyed the action […]

How Do You Deal With Damaged Books?
Today, we’re delving into a topic that fills me with dread and anxiety: the idea of damage being inflicted upon my cherished books. As someone who views each book as a precious treasure, the mere thought of pages bending, covers creasing, or spines cracking sends a shudder through my bookish soul. Is this a seemingly […]
From Blood And Ash by Jennifer L Armentrout
Let me preface this by saying that if you can get over the staggeringly slow start, past the shockingly bad worldbuilding, and through the molasses of a character whose life is so bland and boring she makes Auren from the Plated Prisoner series almost look like she’s actually doing something with her life (besides wandering […]
Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco
So I kind of missed the hype on this book (as I so often do). It was published in 2020 and it has, as of March 2024, over a quarter of a million ratings on Goodreads, which means more than that many have read the book. I actually wasn’t even that interested in reading this […]
