We are on the cusp of October, when spooky season reading goes into high gear, but I’ve gotten a great head start in September. (and have stuck to my spooky season TBR surprisingly well). Here is what I’ve read so far: Nocticadia Nocticadia by Keri Lake* is a dark academia gothic romance. It takes place…
I love just about everything TJ Klune has written, and Somewhere Beyond the Sea is no different. The House in the Cerulean Sea was such a warm hug of a book. I loved the kids and how Linus blossomed in the light and love of the island. I expected more of the same with Somewhere…
Why is it that short weeks always end up feeling so long? Having a holiday on Monday should’ve made my week fly by, but Friday seemed like it would never arrive. Here is a round up of books I finished the week, blog posts, and life happenings. My week started off with the drive home…

I love The Scorpio Races and so tried to listen to Call Down the Hawk last year without knowing anything about it. I didn’t make it very far before putting it away, thinking that maybe The Scorpion Races was a one off for me and the author. Then I was introduced to The Raven Boys…
Memories, Lies, and Other Binds was a great Fall read – just on the edge of spooky season. It has vampires, witches, werewolves, and a gray organization. The book follows Zoey as she comes to terms with herself, her family, and the organization she has worked for for centuries. Synopsis from Goodreads: Zoey Prescott doesn’t…

The Ninth Necromancer needs a swordswoman. Gideon has a sword, some dirty magazines, and no more time for…
