Ultimate Harry Potter Tag

What do you do when it reaches lunch time and you realize – much to your own shock and horror – that you didn’t schedule a blog post for today? Why, you do a tag, of course! I was tagged by Holly over at Nut Free Nerd to do this super fun tag, so let’s jump right in! Thanks, Holly! 1. Favorite book? This one is tough, but I’ve gotta go with Prisoner of Azkaban. I loved our introduction to Sirius Black....

27 Hours – Tristina Wright (ARC Review)

Goodreads synopsis: Rumor Mora fears two things: hellhounds too strong for him to kill, and failure. Jude Welton has two dreams: for humans to stop killing monsters, and for his strange abilities to vanish. But in no reality should a boy raised to love monsters fall for a boy raised to kill them. Nyx Llorca keeps two secrets: the moon speaks to her, and she’s in love with Dahlia, her best friend. Braeden Tennant wants two things: to get out...

Miniature Monday #5

Every week, I’ll be posting a small batch of mini-reviews for graphic novels and the like! This week, I’ll be reviewing four graphic novels (two ARCs and two released copies). How to Be Perfectly Unhappy – The Oatmeal/Matthew Inman A lot of people think Matthew Inman’s work is all fart jokes and dogs licking themselves, and I mean, that’s most of it, but sometimes, Matthew gets really freaking insightful and makes me contemplate the universe and my existence and such. This...

Miniature Monday #3

I have been on a kick lately of reading a lot of graphic novels, comics, and even a bit of manga, and I have more on my TBR for the next month, so I decided I would start a new series. Every week, I’ll be posting a small batch of mini-reviews for graphic novels and the like! I’ll also include poetry collections, as I’ve read a little poetry lately. This week, I’ll be reviewing two graphic novels, a manga, and a memoir!...

An Enchantment of Ravens — Margaret Rogerson

Spoiler-free review! I was gladdened by the sight of those vicious thorns more than I could say, and wondered whether the stories would have gone any differently if the princesses had been the ones telling them. A book about star-crossed lovers, art, and a fae prince who shape shifts into a raven? YES, please! ✘ plot In Whimsy, humans practice Craft: cooking, artistry, writing stories, even designing clothing – all of which the fair folk are drawn to, despite their...

Flame in the Mist – Renee Ahdieh (ARC Review)

“Be as swift as the wind. As silent as the forest. As fierce as the fire. As unshakable as the mountain.” ✘ PLOT Mariko is reluctantly on her way to meet her betrothed – the emperor’s son, who she’s been sold off to marry by her family – when her party is attacked by masked assailants and she is forced to escape alone into the night. When she comes to the conclusion that the infamous Black Clan, a group of...

All the Crooked Saints – Maggie Stiefvater (ARC Review)

“Bicho Raro was a place of strange miracles.” I am so grateful to have been given an ARC of this by my friend Julie! Thank you again! ❤ The synopsis for this book sounded so good, and the cover is gorgeous, and there are owls, and I had to have it. I was not disappointed in the slightest. ✘ PLOT In the desert of Colorado, there lives a family – the Sorias, who have been blessed with a generational ability to perform miracles. These...

The Bone Season – Samantha Shannon

“This was what my spirit longed to do, to wander in strange lands. It couldn’t stand being trapped in one body all the time. It had wanderlust.” This was the Life & Lit book of the month for July, and while I honestly didn’t know what to expect and wasn’t feeling particularly enthusiastic about starting this series, I was shocked by how much I loved this book! This was more of a 4.5 star read for me, but I didn’t feel good...
