Shockingly there is no fantasy in my reading this week! I'm about halfway through Scion by James Islington, which is very different than any of his previous work. I'm also working my way through The Infinite State by Richard Swan, and it just proves that he can write brilliantly in any genre. I also decided... Continue Reading →

I finally finished up The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova after about two weeks. I enjoyed it overall, particularly the different locations and historical references. I decided to pick up an audiobook that was purely fun after listening to a couple murder mysteries that I felt like I was slogging through. I randomly chose The Wolf... Continue Reading →

I'm free of ARC obligations and have been reading a couple books that caught my eye awhile back. The Historian is a chunky book about a family haunted by the legend of Dracula. The story is told through the recitation of stories, letters, and the view point of the Historian's daughter and though it's taking... Continue Reading →

It's been a busy week of reading! I read The Thief and the Traitor Bride by V.L. Bovalino, which I enjoyed. I also read the novella A Short Stay in Hell by Steven L. Peck. It was a strange story and at just over 100 pages, it didn't take long to get through. Thanks to... Continue Reading →

I finished up the last two Emma M. Lion books this week and am eagerly awaiting news of Volume 9, which is supposed to release sometime this year. This series has been such a joy! I'll be putting together a series review of Volumes 1- 8 in the next couple weeks, so keep an eye... Continue Reading →

I decided to re-read Ninth House before the release of Dead Beat since it's been years(!) between installments. I had forgotten how much I like the book. I also completely abandoned all attempts at a reading August review books while I was off work this week and read the first 6 of The Unselected Journals... Continue Reading →

Last week I decided to pick up a couple backlist titles. Spiderlight is a shorter fantasy story following a group of heroes trying to defeat a dark lord. Along the way they acquire a spider-turned-humanoid as a companion. I'm also nearly finished listening to Rose in Chains, which is the first book in a new... Continue Reading →

This week I decided to indulge in Laura Thalassa's most recent romantasy series and read the first two books - Bewitched and Bespelled. I wouldn't say they were great literature, but they were fun! I'm also nearly finished Daggerbound and lack only about 1.5 hours of listening time. Now I have the fun choice of... Continue Reading →

I took a little blogging break while I was on vacation this past week, but I certainly didn't slow down on my reading! I finished up This Blade of Ours and A Trade of Blood, so keep an eye out for reviews in the coming weeks. I have so many to catch up on! I... Continue Reading →

I've had a great reading week and finished both This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me and The Ether Witch: The Divining of a Devil. This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me is definitely getting added to my Best of 2026 list! Because of that I decided to check out another Ilona Andrews book - The Inheritance... Continue Reading →
