"Don't judge a book by its cover". Ok but, like, I'm still going to. The first DNF of the year was partially my own fault. I take responsibility for being an idiot, but let me paint you a picture of what happened. I was looking for specific books in the non-fiction section at the library… Continue reading DNF-ing With Abandon

The Shield Road by Dewi Hargreaves [Review]
Dewi, Dewi, Dewi. The King of Secrets (that’s why his hair is so big), He Who Privately Works On Stories and Drops Them Like Creative Bombs. I finally finished Dewi Hargreaves’s debut, The Shield Road, and it did not disappoint! My TBR is all over the place but when I saw a couple friends on… Continue reading The Shield Road by Dewi Hargreaves [Review]
The Chest by Jackie Mojica [Review]
I had the great honor to sit with Jackie (in a manner of speaking) to go over all things horror. Unfortunately many life events threw a wrench in my plans of promoting her book and the author herself. However, I did get the chance to read The Chest by Jackie Mojica and I was floored!… Continue reading The Chest by Jackie Mojica [Review]
The Little Door [review]
Who doesn't love a good fantasy where a character from our world gets dropped into a completely foreign place with unrecognizable creatures and beings? The Little Door by Stormy Lyn is exactly that and so much more. Amidst her parents divorce, Rose is sent off to her grandparents place, the setting of her first ever… Continue reading The Little Door [review]
Steel Hand, Cold Heart [review]
It's finally June, halfway through the year and I think I've found my favorite fantasy book. Steel Hand, Cold Heart by Rachel Menard is a captivating read from start to finish with an immersive world and fully-fleshed characters that you can easily invest in. The only thing that stopped me from reading this entire book… Continue reading Steel Hand, Cold Heart [review]
To Be Your Girl – Rae Kennedy [Review]
I don't automatically pick up romance books, not for any particular reason; I think I just hadn't found anything that hooked me ever since I read the Goddess series by P.C. Cast, which was over a decade ago. But I adore Rae Kennedy, so naturally I wanted to read a couple of her books. This… Continue reading To Be Your Girl – Rae Kennedy [Review]
The Oath and Blood Price
Peter-Shaun Tyrell. Our resident Limey Twitter buddy and author of The Oath and Blood Price (also featured as a guest on the Don't Make It Weird podcast). This dude slid into my DMs to ask if I'd be interested in reading and reviewing his book. For anyone reading this, I'll tell you what I told… Continue reading The Oath and Blood Price
Dead and Breakfast – REVIEW
Another Thursday review for you all and this time, we head to Oregon with Melanie West and Liza Harris (Melanie's grandmother) as they work against a deadline to open their bed and breakfast, The Merry Ghost Inn, a reportedly haunted mansion perfectly set right along the beach. Although a beautiful setting for Dead and Breakfast:… Continue reading Dead and Breakfast – REVIEW
How It All Blew Up – REVIEW
I picked this book up, knowing the target audience was LGBTQ+. A lot of people don't know, but I'm part of the alphabet mafia. I think the reason people don't know, unless we talk on a regular basis, is because I never really had to "come out". I was never in the closet about my… Continue reading How It All Blew Up – REVIEW
Sprinkle with Murder – REVIEW
This book pretty much fell into my lap. I was looking for cozy mysteries without any other requirements - just your good ol' reliable, light-hearted murder mystery, right? I did that typical "judge a book by its cover" thing that we're all guilty of. Don't even try to lie to me, there's been a book… Continue reading Sprinkle with Murder – REVIEW
