The White Tower by Michael Wisehart I don't really know what I'm getting into with this book, but it keeps appearing in my recommendations on Audible, so I thought I'd give it a try. It won several awards in 2017 and seems to have pretty positive reviews overall. I'm trusting the crowd on this one!... Continue Reading →
Year One by Nora Roberts Listen, I've never read a Nora Roberts books before because she doesn't usually write fantasy type stuff so I can make no comparisons here. I'm a little way into the audiobook and it's pretty great so far. You talk about some serious emotions at the beginning- totally heart crushing stuff!... Continue Reading →
Sufficiently Advanced Magic by Andrew Rowe This has been in my Audible recommendations for months AND it came in 2nd for the SPFBO so I decided to check it out. I realllllly like this book and I'm glad to see a sequel has already been published! I would 100% play a video game based on... Continue Reading →
Warlock Holmes: A Study in Brimstone by G.S. Denning After months of seeing good reviews for this series, I decided to pick up the audiobook and check it out. Thus far it's amusingly absurd and I like the twist on the traditional Holmes and Watson dynamic (here Watson is the brains of the duo). I'm... Continue Reading →
I forgot to schedule this post!!! Better late than never! Jane Steele by Lyndsay Faye I am absolutely loving this book! While I've never been able to truly appreciate the classics like Jane Eyre, I've always enjoyed tv versions and now apparently retellings! It has the perfect blend of murder, romance, and more than a... Continue Reading →
The Oddling Prince by Nancy Springer I just started this book and my initial thought was "they just don't write fantasy like this anymore". The writing style is somewhat more 'formal' than most fantasy tends towards now, but I like it. Hopefully the story will be a good one! Knee-Deep in Grit: Two... Continue Reading →
Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky I've had this book in my wishlist for a few months now and when I saw it was in the Audible 2-for-1 sale I took it as a sign to get it. I've seen great reviews from bloggers whose opinions I trust and I can't wait to check it... Continue Reading →
Furyborn by Claire Legrand I'm pretty excited to start this book - it has great reviews on Goodreads and I dig the past/future parallels that it seems to have. Hoping this will be a true gem! The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang I can already tell this book is going to be excellent.... Continue Reading →
Wrath of Empire by Brian McClellan I'm actually putting some other reading on hold because I'm so excited to start this book. I have high hopes that Wrath of Empire will be just as fantastic as the first in this new trilogy and just.... EEEEEK!!!! MUCH ANTICIPATION. Speaking of putting other reading down... I'm...

A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Maas I wasn't even going to pre-order this initially, but I totally caved last week when I saw it dropped in price somewhat! I'm kind of a sucker for these books and expect that this will be a really quick read since I think it's under... Continue Reading →
