Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia Source: Library TL;DR: The hype is real on this one if you enjoy mythological or fairy tale style stories. I recommend it highly. Thoughts: It's going to be hard for me to not gush all over this book. I checked it out of the library to see... Continue Reading →
Thoughts: Get a Life, Chloe Brown
Get a Life, Chloe Brown has been super hyped on my corners of the book-net, and so even though I don't usually enjoy contemporary or even go out of my way to find it I thought I'd give it a go since Romance is high on my list of 'easy to read' right now. Get... Continue Reading →
Comics & Manga Wrap-up for January 2020
Most of what I read this month was Fruits Basket, though I picked up a few other things in my down time between reads. I also decided to DNF a series over the course of a month, ah well! I’ll start off with the single volume I read, Volume 5 of A Bride’s Story... Continue Reading →
Thoughts: Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky
So Rick Riordan Presents has had some hits and missing for me. Honestly mostly misses in the past year or so. Even one of my favorite authors completely missed the mark. This one though, very much a win! Click through for my loose thoughts. Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky by Kwame Mbalia... Continue Reading →
Thoughts : Laughter at the Academy

Retro SF Thoughts : City by Clifford D. Simak

Best Books of 2018
Best Books of 2018 I generally don’t like making these lists but I thought I’d do a short one for the stuff that sticks in my mind. My husband in particular was interested in what I enjoyed most this year, and got me thinking about it anyway so I thought I’d go through and... Continue Reading →
Romance Roundup
So I’ve definitely need the happy endings you will always find in a romance novel (and yes, I’m a member of that camp, it’s not romance if it’s not a happy ending). So I’ve got a few that I’ve read that I thought I’d highlight and talk about. As far as series... Continue Reading →
