The First Binding by R.R. VirdiThis is possibly one of the most exciting releases of the year and I couldn't wait to read it any longer! I threw all my other scheduled reads to the side in favor of checking this out. I'm only about 100 pages in (out of 832) so I'm still getting... Continue Reading →
The Book of Gothel by Mary McMyneSo, I'm 40% (ish) into this and it's good, but kinda sad. Also, the prologue totally threw me off! Paladin's Grace by T. KingfisherNow this I am totally loving. It's hilarious! A perfumer, a spy, and an ex-paladin are investigating an assassination attempt.
Upgrade by Blake CrouchI'm always down for a new thriller from Blake Crouch. They're always strange and a little disturbing, however rather than time travel we have a human with a hacked genome this time around. Second Hand Curses by Drew HayesI've really been plodding so slowly through audiobooks lately, but I'm expecting to finish... Continue Reading →
Flames of Mira by Clay HarmonI've had this on my TBR for awhile now and since the release date is approaching and I was in the mood for an epic fantasy chonk I decided it was finally time! I love the contrasting elements - underground volcanoes covered in fields of ice and the pseudo-alchemical creation... Continue Reading →
Locklands by Robert Jackson BennettWow, so I'm maybe 10% into the book as I type this and what a time skip! I'm honestly not sure what to expect from this, but I hope it's a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. I'm also still working my way through Of Darkness and Light by Ryan Cahill, which...

The Martyr by Anthony RyanAnother highly anticipated sequel for the year. Alwyn Scribe has gone from brigand to spymaster and I'm curious to see if he rises or falls by the end of this installment. I am expecting some seriously fantastic action though! Of Darkness and Light by Ryan CahillI see what all the fuss... Continue Reading →
In the Shadow of Lightning by Brian McClellanOf course, when one of my favorite authors releases the first book in a new series I'm going to be completely thrilled and I'm also gonna go get my hands on an ARC if possible. I'm just a couple chapters in and I can already tell I'm in... Continue Reading →
Ordinary Monsters by J.M. MiroI'm about 20% into this already and I'm enjoying it at a slow pace - I think this is a book best savored! Despite the synopsis' implication that it's set entirely in England, there are a number of scenes set in the United States at the beginning. I think I'm going... Continue Reading →
Daughter of Redwinter by Ed McDonaldI really loved Ed McDonald's Blackwing series and was vastly curious about what his new work would be about. The main character is a girl who can see and speak to the dead and when she saves a woman dying in the snow her future is irrevocably altered. Really hoping... Continue Reading →
For the Throne by Hannah WhittenSoooo looking forward to checking this out finally! I loved the first book, especially the romance aspect and the cool spooky forest full of moving trees. I think I'll be zipping right through this!
