If you’re a fan of YA fantasy that has dual narratives, blood oaths, magic, a competition to win, and incorporation of real world folklore, then A Song of Wraiths and Ruin is for you. I’m such a sucker for books that have titles like this. You know that it’s going to be one of those…

Today I’m sharing my TBR for August, but I’m doing this a little differently. I receive so many books within the month that it’s physically difficult for me to read them all. Knowing your threshold for reading is always helpful. If you can find the average number of books you can read in a month,…

We’re into a new month and of course, it’s filled with books and more books. Today is a very exciting publishing day because we have sci-fi, dark fantasy, and the book we’ve all been waiting for (or maybe just me. Don’t laugh!). Let’s get right into what’s publishing that I’m very excited to be in…

Yay! We made it to the end of July! Seriously, it’s been a tough month for me mentally. I’m struggling with staying home, but at least my time is spent with a little more reading than it was last month. This month, I finish out with 11 books under my belt. There were definitely some…

Happy Tuesday and Happy Pub Day to all the new books out in the world. We’re officially over the half-month mark and with the pandemic, many books have pushed their publishing date to later in the year. But I’m so excited to see that there are a few to get us through the summer months…

Sex and Vanity seemed to have taken the lives of those crazy rich Asians we read about in his first series and brought them to American soil. But with the change in scenery, the story needed to change as well. What would a blue blooded Chinese American look like? How would the world react if…

I’m a huge fan of gothic literature and horror stories, so when I heard an author combined both, set it in 1950s Mexico, and had it starring a creepy ass house, I was all over it. And let me tell you. It did NOT disappoint. TW: domestic abuse and violence, attempted sexual assault and harassment,…

Paris is one of my all time favorite cities. I love the architecture, the endless roads you can walk down. I love being able to sit at a cafe and watch the world go by around me. I love Paris as much as the next person. Which is why I’m so excited to put a…
