Riven launch This was actually in January, but it happened after my last Heartbeat Monthly so I didn’t get to talk about it! I live about an hour from the Joseph-Beth Booksellers in Cinci. The event was on a Monday, which kinda sucked for me because it’s such a long drive and I work Tuesday mornings, but I went anyway! And I’m glad I did. It was great to go to an event at JB again! I haven’t been to […]
This is not typically something I would actively choose to pick up, as I am not a big fan of Historical Fiction; but the reviews are so good and everyone raves about it, so I thought I’d give it a try. I wanted so badly to love this one like everyone else did. However, despite the heartbreaking content of this book, the emotion was just not there for me. And it absolutely should have been.

This is a hard book to review for me. I don’t have a whole lot to say about this book, because overall it was just okay. The concept was really cool, but nothing about it really stood out for me and it was a pretty mediocre space opera.

Before that, I didn’t plan on reading it at all. I had tried to read Merciful Crow a couple years back and couldn’t […]
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl Today’s prompt was actually to pick a previous topic, but I chose to do a freebie! I recently finished Little Thieves, and knew from the very first chapter that it would be a 5 star book for me, so it made me want to post about this topic! It’s very rare that I find a book the hooks me helplessly from the very first page. Here’s a list of all the […]
“Three magics to be feared: curses born of the wrath of gods, poisons that turn soil to ash, and that which leaves one dark of heart and silver in the bone.” I got this ARC at YALLfest last November, to my utter delight! It was one of my most anticipated 2023 releases, and one of the ARCs I wanted to get my hands on the most at the festival. To be honest though? I wasn’t sure how this one would […]
