#MyTBRL Review: Jack of Thieves by Ben Hale

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. […]

Review: True Born by L.E. Sterling

Review: True Born by L.E. Sterling

I had a hard time getting into True Born by . There is a lot of info-dump at the beginning as the author sets up the world, but once I got past I’d say the first third of the book I was hooked. True Born takes place in a dystopian society where a mysterious plague […]

Review: Heartless by Marissa Meyer

Review: Heartless by Marissa Meyer

‘s Heartless wasn’t at all what I expected, but it was just as good as I’d hoped. I loved The Lunar Chronicles, so when I first heard that Meyer was writing a book about the Queen of Hearts I was excited. Excited and intrigued. Intrigued because I’ve read other books about the Queen of Hearts and didn’t […]

Review: The Heights of Perdition by C.S. Johnson

Post-nuclear war society. Dictators. Pirates. Revenge. Romance. SPACE!!! Y’all this book is fantastic 😀 The Heights of Perdition by is the first book in her series. It is unputdownable (is that a word?). I could not read it fast enough. If you enjoy dystopias and science fiction, I highly recommend it.  Aeris and Captain Chainsword Aeris, or […]

February #2018HW – Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo

February #2018HW – Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo

Not what I was expecting, but sometimes that can be a good thing. Crooked Kingdom by broke me and put me back together again. It’s hard to really describe these characters without remembering (with a little horror) that they range in age from 17-20. They are still kids for all intents and purposes, and it hurt my […]

Audio Review: Once Upon a Dream by Liz Braswell

Audio Review: Once Upon a Dream by Liz Braswell

Once Upon a Dream by is the second book in Disney’s series. Each book in the series takes a beloved fairy tale and asks one “what if” question. This one is about Sleeping Beauty and asks the question “what if sleeping beauty didn’t wake up?” Personally I love these. They are cleverly written and take a realistic approach […]
