An Instruction in Shadow by Benedict Jacka I'm looking forward to continuing with Jacka newest urban fantasy series and seeinf what misadventures Stephen Oakwood will get up to this time. This author is a reliable, fun storyteller and the books make for quick reads! Perfect for my lackadaisical reading pace at the moment 😁
This Girl's A Killer by Emma C. WellsI'm in the mood for something a little different and I think This Girl's A Killer fits that description. It's about a woman who is a pharmaceutical rep by day and a serial killer by night. This isn't quite like anything I've read before, so I'm actually quite... Continue Reading →
A Dark and Secret Magic by Wallis KinneyI am tentatively beginning this cozy, witchy fantasy this week. Its supposed to be very atmospheric and may have a romance plot as well! This sounds perfect because I'm ready for fall weather, which thus far has just been a tease. We Solve Murders by Richard OsmanI've had... Continue Reading →
The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook by Matt DinnimanI can't wait any longer and I'm mostly caught up on my September ARCs, so I'm jumping on in to Dungeon Crawler Carl #3. This series is just such ridiculous fun! Oathbringer by Brandon SandersonI couldn't decide what audiobook to pick up next, so I'm going to take this... Continue Reading →

Hakara has been mining magical gemstones in order to save up enough to return to where she... Continue Reading →
The Village Library Demon-Hunting Society by C.M. WaggonerI can't believe how utterly unputdownable this book is! I started it last night, with the intention of seeing if it grabbed me and well, 40% later, I can say yes it did grab me. It's cozy and has an older main character who has been helping solve...

Long Live Evil by Sarah Rees BrennanNow that I've had a couple mood reads, it's time to wrap up my August ARCs! I've been looking forward to this one, as I've seen some positive reactions to the story and I love the synopsis. The Gathering by C.J. TudorI picked this up during a recent Audible...

The Secret History by Donna TarttHonestly, at 20% in, I don't quite know what to make of this book. The descriptions of Vermont and the gorgeous, crisp fall days are wonderful. The characters are a mixed bag and I don't quite like any of them at this point, even the narrator who's web of lies... Continue Reading →
Asunder by Kerstin HallI was SO intrigued by Asunder's synopsis and I'm happy to say that it's been a fabulous read thus far! The religion(s) are complicated, but I do love a good murder investigation and Karys even has a built in buddy who may or may not accidentally kill her! The Midnight Feast by... Continue Reading →
