I can't write books so I review them instead
I haven’t read a novella in a long time but this one seemed very interesting so I decided to leave off of my longer novels in lieu for this novella. The story follows a young Jewish girl whose mother is a healer and witch. When it is discovered that the girl also carries this power,…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I had previously read Black Rabbit Hall by this author but I hadn’t liked it as much as I had wanted to. The atmosphere was great but the story just didn’t work for me. However, I am always willing to give…
Something about this book just captured my attention right away. Maybe it was the cover, with its medieval times look. Maybe it was the fact that this story combines fantasy, historical fiction, and the Devil. Either way, it’s been on my mind for a while and now seemed like the best time to get into…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This was a long time coming. I remember reading the second novel in this series and wanting to get started on this one right away … but life (and other books on my TBR list) got in the way.…
Thank you to Penguin Random House and their First to Read program for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. I’m not a big fan of historical fiction and if you go through my blog, you will see that I haven’t read very many books from this genre. I always feel a bit guilty…

Here is my review: The story brings us aboard the ship Argo as it…
Awhile back, I read a book called Moon in the Palace by Weina Dai Randel. It felt like I was watching one of my historical Asian dramas, and I was happy to discover that the story was based off of a real historical figure. Not only is it based off of a historical figure, the main…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I’m not going to preface this review with much. I have too many opinions and thoughts going on and I know if I start writing something now, I will literally ramble and never stop. So with that being said,…
The first book I read about anthropology and archaeology was Lucy’s Child. It was a fascinating novel that made me rethink my future goals. After discovering my interest in this field, my school librarian suggested I read Clan of the Cave Bears by Jean M. Auel. To this day, it is my favorite book. So it should…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Sawbones, the first book in this series, was one of my first forays into the Western genre. And I really liked it. The story was good, the theme was good, nothing felt overdone… it was just a great experience…
