I had initially planned this to be a full review, but unfortunately, Holly Black has once again turned me into a pile of incoherent goo and a full review would probably include a lot of profane commentary (which I will include anyway, because why not). So instead, I combined both books into mini reviews with […]

Initial Thoughts Was this rating a surprise? Not really, no. Fanfic or otherwise, I am a ride or die Julie Soto fan. I absolutely loved Forget Me Not. But did I somehow love this book more than Forget Me Not? Yep. Yes. Now that. That’s a SURPRISE. NOT ANOTHER LOVE SONG by Julie SotoForever, July […]

No intros. Just straight to the reviews! Longshadow A Wilder family bonanza if there ever was one! I loved Half a Soul, and this book was a more direct sequel to the story of the Wilders. While the first book of the Regency Faerie Tales dealt with Dora and Elias, this third installment follows Abigail […]

Initial Thoughts: Not gonna lie, the book definitely reminded me how much I hate love triangles. It also wasn’t sure whether it wanted to be a cottagecore cozy fantasy or a sweeping adventure romance with high stakes, and so the pacing was a bit off. If you took out the spice, it also reads upper […]

So I got into listening to the Murderbot series on audiobook, and suddenly, two novellas later… The best thing about this series so far is that each of the novellas seem to be treated as a serial series. And because it’s similar to serial stories, each book–while holding different stories–are parts of a whole and […]

Initial Thoughts What the frick. Hafsah. HAFSAH. I need book 2 because you can’t just end this wild ride like that. HAFSAH PLS. A TEMPEST OF TEA by Hafsah FaizalFarrar, Straus, & Giroux, March 2024YA fantasy, historical, romanceRated: 3.5 / 5 cookies It’s both a blessing and a curse that some of these more anticipated […]

‘Tis I with another set of mini reviews! I normally release these as I read. I think I might just post my story reviews here instead at some point to save the time, but there it is. There seems to be a running theme about characters being mad at their employers in these two books. […]

I will eventually get back to full reviews. Eventually. Maybe I’ll sort my life out once school is over and I have more time to do some aesthetic image searching for these reviews. I am missing my featured images something fierce. But for now! Some minis that are sorta kinda minis but not? The Tainted […]

Alright, I may have taken a month-long hiatus, but not because I ran out of books to review! Things have just been busy, and blogging has become low on my priority list lately, especially since Storygraph and Goodreads tend to get the brunt of my reviewing anyway. But I might as well, for posterity’s sake! […]

Okay, so I lied. I thought I would be done with mini reviews for the week, and yet here I am with more! Gonna run out of books pretty soon, though… Juniper and Thorn I admit I was curious about this book because I adored A Study in Drowning. So did I expect the same […]
