I can't write books so I review them instead
Ever since I read my first Western-style novel (and enjoyed it!), I’ve been picking up more books in this genre. I was actually really intrigued by this story; not only is there a fantasy element, it is also partly historical fiction with its chronicling of the Gold Rush era. I have been super busy with…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. In order to deal with the loss of my laptop, I am borrowing a laptop from my graduate lab so that I can type up this review. True, I’m supposed to use it for work-related purposes only, but I’m…
When I was young, I had these amazing neighbours who I loved like my own grandparents. They had no children of their own, so they quite enjoyed having me over. They always gave me the best gifts, recognizing what my likes and dislikes were quite aptly. For one birthday, they gifted me two books that…
There are only a handful of books that I have read that are zombie themed. Some I’ve hated, and some I’ve loved. This book definitely falls in the latter category.

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. When I read Rebel of the Sands, I had really liked the concept of the book, and thought it had been well-written but had a few flaws. I was really happy that NetGalley and the publishers granted my wish and…
I received this novel from NetGalley as an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. One of the things I love about NetGalley is that it gives me the opportunity to read the latest work by celebrated authors as well as read some of the brilliant stuff that debut authors are coming up with.…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Any book that talks about the concept of heaven and hell, or has an interpretive twist on the Bible is going to pique my interest. I’m like this about anything that is religious but also about anything mythological. Lately,…
The premise of this novel immediately caught my eye and I knew right away that I had to read this novel. A fantasy story for teens that is actually really dark???? Definitely up my alley! Every queen of the island of Fennbirn gives birth to a set of triplets – three queens, all who have…
