A loose retelling of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, Bright Ruined Things by takes place over the course of one day, following Mae and her role in the Prosper family. I have never read The Tempest so I personally cannot compare the two. What I can say is that I enjoyed Cohoe’s melding of 1920s culture and […]
I absolutely adored this book! Spoiler Alert by combines two of my favorite tropes – celebrity and penpal – which sets us as the reader up for some great dramatic irony. Following an actor at the height of his career and a curvy geologist who gets her 15 minutes of fame via twitter, Spoiler Alert […]
Whoops! I’m a little behind on this post….I should have known better with it being February. This month is always busy. Better late than never though, right 😉 Oh Cat *shaking my head* One Foot in the Grave by picks up nearly five years after that heartbreaking ending in book one. Cat is fully immersed […]
This is one of those stories that will stick with me for a long time. It left me utterly bereft and broken, and yet I can say that it is one of the best stories I’ve read in a long time. Full Flight by is a story full of first loves, stolen moments, and the […]
An interesting spin on Rumpelstiltskin and a sweet budding romance all wrapped in one pretty package! The Wish Granter by is the second book in her standalone fantasy series . Each book retells a classic fairy tale, set in the same world with brief mentions of previous characters so it can truly be enjoyed without […]
This is my second time reading American Royals, and it is just as good as the first! I decided to listen to the audiobook, as I had read an ARC of the book back in 2019 when it first came out. The narrator is fantastic! I had no problems discerning which POV she was in, […]
“Ethiopian-inspired debut fantasy retelling of Jane Eyre” is a perfect description of this book. Within These Wicked Walls by is a fantastic, often times dark fantasy that I did not want to sit down. Following a young woman trying to make a name for herself, the story unfolds in the cursed mansion of handsome Mr. […]
What an end to a fantastic series! Death by is the final book in her series , and, boy, does it deliver. I savored this one, limiting how much I read each day, because y’all I did not want it to end. It is no secret that Thalassa is one of my all-time favorite writers, […]
This book has been on my TBR for what feels like years…because it was literally years. Seven to be exact. I don’t know why I kept putting it off. I truly have no excuse. Anyways, I’m so glad that Lenore from Celebrity Readers asked if I’d like to buddy read it with her because it […]
This one had so much promise, but did not live up to my expectations. Donut Fall in Love by is billed as a rom-com, diverse/own voices, and (for me) set in another country so I was excited to dive in. If it wasn’t for the fact that this was an ARC read that I was […]
