Happy Wednesday y’all! This week I’m eagerly waiting on Fable by , the first book in a new duology about a young girl off to find her family. The blurb promises pirates, adventure, and a little danger, and I’m thinking possibly a little romance too. And that cover?! So pretty 😍 Your Turn! What are […]
That was….underwhelming. Scavenge the Stars by is the first book in her series of the same name. It is touted as a gender-bent retelling of The Count of Monte Cristo. That alone is why I wanted to read it, but it fell short on so many levels. The story opens on a debtor’s ship where […]
Y’all, I have found a new favorite! The Lost Legends by is the first book in her series . I read it in one-sitting, skipping sleep to do so. When I talk about fantasy being my favorite, I’m talking about the epic adventure fantasies that take you on a journey and leave you hopeful. There […]
What an adventure! Dragon Rising by is the first in her new series inspired by Mulan. I love retellings! Several years ago when I first started reading retellings, I was skeptical, but that was unfounded. I love how an author can take an original, well-known tale and put their own spin on it. And does […]
Jack of Thieves by is an exciting adventure through the land of Lumineia that follows a young man on his quest to avenge his mother’s death. My husband has been after me for a long time to read these books, and I’m glad I’ve finally started. It’s fast-paced with fantastic characters and an incredible world. […]
This review first appeared on Young Adult Book Central. Van, Paley, and Brux are back in ‘s Plague of Death, the second book in the series. I really enjoyed the first book and was excited to dive into the next adventure. Y’all it doesn’t disappoint! I liked this book even better than the first. Van […]
I honestly have no clue how to write this review. Seriously, how do you review a book that nearly everyone has read and loved?! This isn’t even my first or second time reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by . It’s more like my tenth or twelvth time….gah! Who am I kidding?! I’ve read […]
This review first appeared on Young Adult Book Central. The Genie Dagger by is the first book in a new fantasy series set in the world of Aladdin. Now don’t mistake me. The Genie Dagger is a continuation, not a retelling, of the story set years after the events we all know and love. Magic […]
I enjoyed this book more than the first! Twice Magic by is the second book in and picks up in the middle of the action (featuring Xar….who else?!). Xar is in Gormincrag (like a prison) due to the mistakes he made in book one and Wish is behind a giant wall. Will these two kids […]
I first read Mortal Engines in high school and I loved it. When I saw they were making a movie, I knew I needed to reread it and refresh my brain prior to seeing the movie. Y’all I’m sad to report the book wasn’t as good as I remember. Now some of that may be […]
