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…
My feelings about You, Again are mixed. I enjoyed the first third, felt indifferent to the middle third, and then cried my way through the final third. I even set it down around 60% because I just wasn’t into it. After reading a few other books in a different genre, I came back to it…
Description The big bad wolf series revolves around Cooper Dayton, a BSI agent (an offshoot of the FBI, that handles “special” crimes) and Oliver Park, an agent with the Trust, a werewolf organization. They meet when Park and Cooper have to work together to investigate a series of deaths. Park is a werewolf and Cooper…
Thoughts Masters of Death was a ride. Everyone came out to play: vampire, reaper, demon, angel, Death, godlings, and more. The dialog had me chuckling, cringing, and swooning. I am not typically a fan of angst or betrayal, but the emotions between Fox and Brandt were so well done. Their story is told through some…
If you would have told me I’d be crying over robots, I wouldn’t have believed you, but T.J. Klune made it happen. In The Lives of Puppets is a Pinocchio retelling that had me feeling ALL the feelings. If you enjoyed The House in the Cerulean Sea and/or Under the Whispering Door, you’ll get the…
I had such high hopes for my October Reading, but mood reading and book hangovers had other ideas. I started strong with the next Guild Hunter book, Archangel’s Storm, Mister Impossible, and finishing up my ACOTAR re-read. A Court of Silver Flames left me in a bit of a book hangover, but a couple of…
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…
