Book Reviews + More
The Enchanted Greenhouse by Sarah Beth DurstThis is delightful and maintains that same nice cozy vibe from The Spellshop, but with more talking plants! I'll be finished this book early in the week (maybe today!) and will hopefully have a review up in the next couple weeks. The Knight and the Moth by Rachel GilligIt... Continue Reading →
Sharps by K.J. ParkerI initially heard about this book from a reviewer on Booktube (The Library of Allenxandria) and thought it sounded cool. This is a standalone that follows a group of fencers as they do a tour through a neighboring kingdom in the name of diplomacy. I'm not far into it, but it's political... Continue Reading →
The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy by Brigitte KnightleyI'm still working my way through some July ARCs (yay for productivity!) and this is next up on my reading list. I think this sounds really fun and the few pages I've read are off to a good start! This is the first of the... Continue Reading →
The Medusa Protocol by Rob HartSince June is rapidly approaching, it's high time I pick up The Medusa Protocol! This is the sequel to Assassins Anonymous which was one of my top reads of 2024 and it follows Astrid, another of the Assassins Anonymous members who gets captured and must find a way to escape...

Ascension by S.T. GibsonI'm beginning to whittle away at my July ARCs since I got a bit excited and ended up with a bunch of books. In my defense, July is heavy with exciting new releases that I couldn't resist including S.T. Gibson's latest! I'm enjoying this so far - Rhys, Moira, and David are... Continue Reading →
The Enemy's Daughter by Melissa PoettI don't usually pick up YA fantasy/romantasy anymore, but I do like a Tristan and Isolde retelling. This is set in a dystopian world after the fall of modern society which was unexpected but interesting. Entreat Me by Grace DravenThis is a story inspired by Beauty and the Beast and...

The Nightshade God by Hannah WhittenTime to wrap up another series! Hannah Whitten writes some fantastic stories and I think The Nightshade God will prove to be an excellent ending to the Nightshade Crown trilogy. I'm nearly halfway through despite numerous distractions since picking it up. I'm also still working my way through the audiobook... Continue Reading →
The Eye of the Bedlam Bride by Matt DinnimanI'm continuing on with the Dungeon Crawler Carl series and hoping to get The Eye of the Bedlam Bride wrapped up and reviewed in time for the May 13 release date. This one clocks in at 832 pages, so it's taken me a little while to make... Continue Reading →
This Monster of Mine by Shalini AbeysekaraI've really been looking forward to reading this and I actually purchased the ebook full price which I basically never do. Let me tell ya, it starts a whole lot darker than I would have ever guessed and it has me hooked. Death Stake by Andrew MayneIt's been awhile since... Continue Reading →
Once Was Willem by M.R. CareyI need something different this week, so now that I'm finished (or finishing up) two books that lean more toward the humorous I think I'll check out Once Was Willem. This is a shorter novel about a person who comes back from the dead to save a small village. I've... Continue Reading →
