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 book on NetGalley and it sounds great! […]
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted (for the last time!) by The Broke and the Bookish, and starting next week the new host will be The Artsy Reader Girl. I know The Broke and the Bookish has been hosting this meme for YEARS, and I’m sure they’re tired of it, but it will be sad, since […]
The nitty-gritty: Exquisite writing and magical worldbuilding made this a reading experience I won’t soon forget. Lussadh turns on the heating and listens to the ghosts murmur, a low purr that thrums through walls and ebony boards. Shamans–alchemists of the spirit–can hear and understand their chatter, it is said, the secrets of the dead. If […]
The nitty-gritty: This story had some wonderfully magical elements and compelling characters, but as a whole it didn’t quite work for me. “You were a mermaid, weren’t you? That’s what Nadya said.” “I still am,” said Cora. “I just have my scales under my skin for now.” It pains me to admit that I didn’t […]
‘Tis the season for making promises I won’t be able to keep! I mean, let’s start the new year off on a positive note! I’m not very good at sticking to reading challenges for an entire year, but I always get excited in the beginning of the year anyway. This year is no exception. I’m […]

Stop over there and link up your “Can’t Wait” book of the week! I absolutely loved The Naturalist, and I was thrilled to see […]
The nitty-gritty: A fun and character-driven debut, fans of Star Wars will find much to love in this fast-paced space opera. In Michael Moreci’s afterward to his fun and furious debut, he unabashedly calls Black Star Renegades his “love letter to Star Wars,” and it shows. It’s easy to make your way through the story […]
Happy New Year, everyone! I have a good feeling about 2018, especially when it comes to my reading plans. There are SO many books I’m already looking forward to, and I can’t wait to get started! I’m actually a little bit ahead this month, as I’ve already read two of my January review books, which […]

I feel very lucky to have a copy of this beautiful book in my hands. Gregory Manchess is first and foremost a very talented artist, but I’m grateful he decided to step out of his comfort zone and write a story to go along with his amazing artwork. According to the publisher’s notes, there are […]
