Well, I have to admit I didn’t participate in Wyrd & Wonder as much as I wanted to, but I am glad I joined in! Big thanks to all the hosts—imyril, Lisa and Jorie—for keeping things moving. I’m hoping next year I can plan better and read even more fantasy books. I only managed to […]
The nitty-gritty: Thrilling and fast-paced, emotional and heartwarming, Deception Cove has everything I look for in a good story, and more. Why don’t I read more mystery/thrillers? I ask myself that question every time I read a good one, and Deception Cove was the perfect thriller to remind me what I’m missing. I loved the […]
Welcome to Future Fiction, my reimagining of the Waiting on Wednesday meme! There are so many amazing new books coming out, that I can no longer pick just one. My goal with Future Fiction is to share at least three new books each week, a combination of recent cover reveals and books that I’ve recently […]

A couple of weeks ago I highlighted Ten Fantasy Sequels I Can’t Wait to Read, and today I’m shining a light on some fantasy debuts that sound amazing! Why eighteen? Well, I just couldn’t stop at ten, there are so many fantasy debuts coming out over the next twelve months and I wanted to include […]
The nitty-gritty: A short, well written tale with a dream-like quality that gives readers plenty to think about. This was such an odd little story, but I enjoyed it a lot. Vylar Kaftan has written a twisty, hallucinogenic tale about mental health and inner strength that didn’t go where I was expecting it to go—at […]
