Audiobook Series Review: The Initial Insult by Mindy McGinnis
Warning: There’s dog killing in this book. I’ve said before that Mindy’s contemporary books are almost always a hit for me. This one was no different! (Which makes me the black sheep in a good way for once, because the reviews for this book are pretty bad.) Mindy loves to write brutal stories, and you know I love brutal. This one is said to be a retelling of Poe’s The Cask of Amontillado, which I can’t speak of because I […]
I tried meal delivery services…and here’s what I thought
I don’t normally make non-bookish posts, but this was something I really wanted to make a post about! Meal delivery service has been a GAME CHANGER for me. I enjoy cooking again, I love trying new recipes, I’ve experienced new foods, and I eat things I wouldn’t touch before.

Audiobook Review: The Last Tale of the Flower Bride by Roshani Chokshi
This one took me by surprise! It’s enchanting, similar to the uncanny way of The Ten Thousand Doors of January and Strange the Dreamer (although I didn’t love it quite as much as those two).

It’s hard to talk about this without giving anything away – I went […]
Audiobook Review: Swift the Storm, Fierce the Flame by Meg Long
This book was quite a letdown for me. Not to say it was bad, but I think maybe my expectations were just too sky high going in. It was one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! Thankfully my library had the audiobook on Libby, so I didn’t waste any money/Audible credits on this book. It started off fairly strong. I love space books and stories set on other planets, so I was interested in the beginning. Sadly, my interest waned more […]
