Welcome to my stop on the By a Charm & a Curse blog tour! I was initially drawn in by the evocative cover, which promises a magical and dangerous story that takes place in one of my favorite settings, the circus. I really enjoyed this atmospheric YA story, and you can read my review below. […]
OK you guys, time for something different! I thought I would interview myself about how I go about writing book reviews for this blog, and I’d love to hear how YOU write reviews as well. I know we all have different styles and each one adds something different to the book blogging world. There is […]

Waiting on Wednesdays is the brainchild of Jill at Breaking the Spine, and because Jill isn’t hosting it any more, I’m now linking up with Can’t Wait Wednesday at Wishful Endings. Stop over there and link up your “Can’t Wait” book of the week! I just saw this cover pop up on Goodreads, and this […]
The nitty-gritty: A highly inventive mash-up of Pride and Prejudice and Frankenstein, told in pitch perfect prose that evokes the styles of both Jane Austen and Mary Shelley. What do you get when you take two beloved classics, one gothic and one romantic, and mash them together? In this case, you get a fascinating tale of […]

Stop over there and link up your “Can’t Wait” book of the week! This sounds SO scary! I love stories that take place in […]
The nitty-gritty: A surprisingly well-written, well crafted and thrilling adventure. I still recall a line from that feckless Everyman’s Guide. It said something like, “the Tower’s real trade is in whimsy, adventure, and romance.” I cannot image a less accurate trio. Though, who in their right minds would’ve come if the editors had said, “the […]
And we’re off! I feel like once January is under my belt, the rest of the year flies by. February is typically a “real life” busy month for me, so we’ll see how much I actually accomplish on the blog…but as usual I have big plans and lots of review books to read. Let’s dive […]

It’s already the end of January, and I realize I haven’t shared my most anticipated releases of 2018 (other than a couple of lists I did back in November for Sci-Fi Month). Making lists is one of my favorite blogging activities, so I put together fourteen books I’m ridiculously excited to read this year. Caveat: I’m […]
The nitty-gritty: Another fantastic collection from Damien Angelica Walters, with a wide range of stories that explore the themes of fear and grief. This is the third book I’ve read by Damien Angelica Walters, and each time I read her work I’m surprised anew at how good she is. Her short stories often deal with […]
