I read Spark by Sarah Beth Durst as part of the SFF Oasis readathon in July for the Animal Companion prompt. While recovering from eye surgery, I got hooked on audiobooks but still prefer shorter works. Most middle-grade books are on the shorter side while they still hold the same wonder I’m looking for in Read More

Book Tour: With Fire in Their Blood by Kat Delacorte
Thank you to the Write Reads and the publisher, Penguin, for a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. With Fire in Their Blood is a YA urban fantasy, witches, factions, and small-town Italy. Aside from the witches, I got Romeo and Juliet vibes from it but I was wrong. Even though Read More
Review: A Cup of Tea at the Mouth of Hell by Luke Tarzian
The author gave me an advanced reading copy in exchange for an honest review. So I’m going to be honest. I love Luke’s books, so me taking this book as an ARC and reviewing it ahead of the release date should tell you something. A Cup of Tea at the Mouth of Hell is much Read More
Review: The Selection by Kiera Cass
Sometimes you just need a comfort read. For me, that means a romance book that doesn’t require me to think too much. The Selection by Kiera Cass was that book for me. I bought the whole set from a friend so I binged the first three books, The Selection, The Elite, and The One. There’s Read More
Review: The Last Gifts of the Universe by Rory August
I read The Last Gifts of the Universe by Rory August for the Ready Player Read(athon) because it fit the Book by Discord Member-prompt. I picked this book during a promotion without knowing much about it. After reading the first few pages, I knew it was going to be a fun little book (around 200 Read More
ARC Review: Strange Cargo by Patrick Samphire
Thank you to the author for providing a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. Strange Cargo is the third novel in the Mennik Thorn series. It’s short than the first two but this is a bonus novel! We’re getting one more book. This book is a direct follow-up to the Read More
Review: The Order of the Pure Moon Reflected in Water by Zen Cho
I got The Order of the Pure Moon Reflected in Water as a gift for Sinterklaas. I love Zen Cho’s writing so I was looking forward to this but only now did I give myself the time to read it. It’s a novella, not too long, but that doesn’t matter for the story. A monk Read More
Review: A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers
A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers was recommended to me by Moon and Aurelie (and many more who loved it and said it in passing). Moon said it was ‘so me’, and she was right. The book follows Sibling Dex as they leave the city to become a tea monk. But even after Read More
ARC Review: Touchstones by Stephanie Burgis
Thank you to Stephanie for sending me a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. These last few years have been hard. Some of us cope by writing, others by reading, and there are those who do both. We all have our way to get the day. Stephanie Burgis has written Read More
Review: K-pop Confidential by Stephan Lee
K-pop is booming. The pop bands from Korea are finally taking over the world, so it was to be expected it would find its way into other pop culture as well. K-pop Confidential is one of the first wave of K-pop books and I really wanted to read this (and all of the others) as Read More
