Possibly the most talked about book from my TBR finally got to me. I was on the hold for this in several places but I lucked out finally at the library! I'm glad I did, this is one I can see a lot of people enjoying this Halloween. Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia Source: LibraryTL;DR... Continue Reading →
Thoughts : Sal & Gabi Break the Universe
I've been trying to read all the Rick Riordan imprint books. I love the idea behind the imprint and so far I've enjoyed almost all of these books and the unique spins the authors give them. The standout for me so far has been Tristan Strong - but this one... might rival that one for... Continue Reading →
Thoughts: A Heart of Blood and Ashes by Milla Vane
So. This is not a book for everyone. Just going to open this post off with that. This is simultaneously a (at times) deeply drawn fantasy novel and a very graphic romance novel. Think Conan the Barbarian meets romance, in a setting with dinosaurs and more magic. And there were zombies at one point. It... Continue Reading →
Thoughts: Daisy Jones and The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
We're swerving way out of my usual range with this one. You know those books you immediately think 'That's not for me' but every one goes on and on? Eventually you break and try it? That was this one for me and boy howdy did I have a strong reaction. Daisy Jones and the Six... Continue Reading →
Thoughts: Shades of Milk and Honey by Mary Robinette Kowal
This has been on my TBR for ages. I love Jane Austen - no surprise there, I think a great deal of bookish readers my age do, and I love magic so combine those two flavors and you have a winner. I unfortunately never managed to get my hands on a copy so while feeding... Continue Reading →
Thoughts : The Epic Crush of Genie Lo by F.C. Yee
I'm sure the title of this one was meant to be a double meaning sort of thing. "Haha, look, she has a crush on someone who is epic and also she can crush things in an epic fashion!" But I 100% think that missed it's mark. I remember hearing about this originally and thinking -... Continue Reading →
Thoughts: Exit Strategy by Martha Wells
I'm terrible at keeping up with series. Unless they're a comic series where it's a fast read you can bet I hardly ever do finish it. I am more than happy to admit that's because I don't want to be disappointed by follow up books. If I enjoy a story I don't want to read... Continue Reading →
Thoughts: Moan: Anonymous Essays on Female Orgasm
So. This is a topic of which I can safely say I've not read any non-fiction about. I've read plenty of romance with plenty of moans, plenty of orgasms but nothing within the non-fiction realm that really looks at people's experiences or opinions. I figured there is a first time for everything though right?! Moan:... Continue Reading →
Thoughts: Come Tumbling Down
The Wayward Children series definitely doesn't need more hype online - I think it's one of the most popular series I follow. The books are short and easy to read and always feed into the current social buzz. I definitely recommend giving them a try, they're available on every format and I'd be surprised if...
