Happy Thursday y’all! Today I’m featuring an audiobook that I listened to early this year and just fell in love with both the author and the story. While it is not your typical romance and most likely falls under women’s fiction, both the main characters (grandmother and granddaughter) get a happily ever after which satisfied […]
The Peasant’s Dream by is the eleventh book in the series , which is a cross between historical fiction and fairytale retellings. Here we get the story of the youngest daughter of the duke of Hagenheim, Adela, and an aspiring woodcarver, Frederick. This gender bent retelling of Cinderella is an easy read, though tedious at […]
Does anyone else feel like they have aged 10 years during the first half of 2020? Anyone? Just me….ok ๐ Y’all to say 2020 is stressful is an understatement. This year has tried my family like no other year has (and that’s saying a lot because we survived residency with a toddler and one income!). […]
This review first appeared on YA Books Central. The Call of the Rift: Flight by is the first book in an alternate-historical fantasy about Kateiko, a young Rin girl on the cusp of adulthood. This beautiful story is full of lush descriptions and roughly based on lesser-known legends and myths of the indigineous people of […]
Influence by is the first book in his YA dystopian series of the same name. I have wanted to read this book for a long time. It’s one of those that is constantly recommended to me so I went in with high expectations. However they were not met. This is more of a reflection of […]
Heir of Iron Hearts by is the second book in the series and picks up where book one left off. I’ll be honest, I debated picking this one up. I didn’t really enjoy the first one. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t my favorite either. I was lukewarmโฆ.y’all I’m not lukewarm […]
Today is only the last day of March….y’all I feel like 2020 should be over! This year is dragging by. The first quarter (excluding COVID-19) saw a lot of changes in my life. We decided to homeschool our son, and I started that in January. A week later my husband’s job was caught in corporate […]
Oh my heart! I can’t with this book ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ Sword and Pen by is the final book in her . Y’all I’ve loved this series from the start and I have to say the finale lived up to all of my expectations. I might have aged 10 years while reading it though. SO stressful! If […]
Beauty and Beastly by is a steampunk retelling of the classic Beauty and the Beast. I love this twist on the original! It is unlike anything I’ve ever read. The clockwork, steam powered Beast is a heartbreaking, yet charming character that was easy to see why the MC would fall for him. Set during 1814 […]
It’s my favorite day of the year….reading challenge day ๐ I totally just made that up! But today is the day that I sign up for this year’s reading challenges. Last year I scaled way back on the number of challenges I participated in. This year I’ve decided to add a few back and a […]
