Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl Happy (early) Valentine’s Day/Galentine’s Day/Singles Awareness Day! Today’s TTT is a love freebie, and anyone who knows me at all knows I don’t really care for romance in books. There are a few that I love, but they have to be done just a certain way for me to enjoy them. So, for those who are like me and would rather have plot over romance, I wanted to share some […]

In fact, I even know exactly which ones they are – Half Assed by Jeanette Fulda and Cultish by Amanda Montell. I did read a short self help book maybe a year ago, but I don’t even remember the name of it because it wasn’t very […]

I started the year with 3 books on each platform – and while […]
I am Ilsaletta Redtide. My father is Admiral Redtide of the Kingdom of Cragspear. I will not die as a mouse in the darkness. This book started off STRONG! In the beginning, I was hooked. It was also very quotable – I highlighted so many passages! But sadly, by the end I had very mixed feelings about it because it went downhill in the last half. The main thing that I enjoyed about this book was the concept. It was […]
