This is a winner, I promise as I've already reviewed it! This takes the atmosphere of Oxford and the great fantasy elements you want and mixes them together into a great surprising mess. Please give this one a shot if you love anything magical realism and historical fiction. Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking... Continue Reading →
Waiting on Wednesday 4/6/2016
This gem comes out in May and I literally made fan girl squeals when I saw who the author was. Todd Lockwood has been one of my favorite artists for years. I adore his dragons and illustrations for D&D. He also did all of the sketches and covers for the Memoirs of Lady Trent. He made... Continue Reading →
Waiting on Wednesday 3/30/2016
We're heading into June with this one. I've got the first book that's part of this anthology but let's be real, the cover is kind of terrible. It's also overall cheaper for me to get this bindup then to track down the second and third (since they're out of print). This also matches the cover... Continue Reading →

Waiting on Wednesday 3/16/2016
I've been on a real horror/thriller kick but this book, even having heard about it months ago has me thinking about it even now. I'm super excited to see how it pans out. Plus the arcs that I saw that went out for this were super neat with what looked like sewn covers and 'mouth... Continue Reading →

This is hosted by Breaking the Spine so definitely go check them out! This week was hard to pick since yesterday... Continue Reading →
Happy Home Designer : The Hype is Real
I love Animal Crossing, and have devoted way to much time the game than I like to admit. So when I found out about a game just for the best part, the decorating?! Let's just say it was a little over the top. I typically try to avoid too much hype. I don't like pre-researching... Continue Reading →
Overhype : Possibly the worst thing ever?
I love a good buzz on a book. A great, low grade anticipation to a release. Some mentions here or there, maybe a few good blurbs from some authors I like, etc. Lately however things have gotten out of hand a few times. The low grade buzz that gets me stoked grows and... Continue Reading →
