You know the saying “It’s like riding a bike”? Well, The Last Druid by Terry Brooks isn’t that.
It’s more like learning to ice skate.
And while I suppose this could be said of any series after a year since you read the previous book, it seemed more pronounced here.
When Drisker Arc was first mentioned, I couldn’t remember who …
Finished A Court of Silver Flames? Now you’re wondering about other books like A Court of Thorns and Roses.
If you’re like me, you loved ACOTAR and devoured the whole series. From the amazingly crafted fantasy world to the addictive enemies to lovers romance, the book hangover you are experiencing is real and it’s hard.
You need something else, …
Reading the Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea by Maggie Tokuda-Hall is a lot like driving through Texas.
Now, there’s a lot of ways I could go with this. If you’ve ever driven through Texas, you know what I’m talking about.
You know that moment you cross the state lines and your GPS tells you the next turn is in …
Where Dreams Descend by Janella Angeles is the first book I’ve DNF’d (Did not finish) in a long, long time.
I was gifted an ARC of Where Dreams Descend from NetGalley, so thank you to Wednesday Books and Macmillan for the opportunity to read and review this book.
Let’s hope straight to the review.
Let’s talk …
I requested Sisters of the Perilous Heart by Sandra L. Vasher from NetGalley on a whim because the premise sounded interesting. It was fairly decent tale, and I’ll tell you all about it in a little bit.

Some of these animals sound like pure myth, but no one would dare …
Reading Morning Star by Pierce Brown is kind of like watching America’s Got Talent.
Have you ever watched that show?
My wife and I are big fans.
Arguably, my favorite part of the whole show is the beginning. I love watched the auditions because some of the funniest moments in AGT are the awful people who try out.
The second …
I just finished We Are Blood and Thunder by Kesia Lupo.
They say first impressions are everything.
Whether you realize it or not, you cast judgement on anything and everything at first glance.
We see the outside of a restaurant that looks run down and we assume the food mustn’t be any good. We meet a new person who’s overdressed …
“I let out the breath I didn’t know I’d been holding.”
House of Earth and Blood (Crescent City) by Sarah J. Maas was an epic thrill ride from cover to cover.
Did you ever play that tunnel game as a kid where you try to hold your breath from start to finish?
I just hope you didn’t try doing it …
All the Stars and Teeth by Adalyn Grace was my latest read. I literally just put the book down and immediately picked up my laptop.
Have you ever been to a funeral for a loved one?

You know, that realization that it’s over. The increased pace in your heart, that lost feeling that might …
If you’re here, you just finished reading Crescent City Book 1 and now you want more books like House of Earth and Blood.
We’re two days post release for Sarah J. Maas’s latest work, House of Earth and Blood. I’m 20 chapters in and loving every minute of it.
It’s a big honking book isn’t it?
