The Traitor’s Game has a couple of things that are catnip for me: second chance friendship/romance and dual point of view. Kestra and Simon grew up together at the palace, although they were in vastly different circle of existence. She, a princess and he, a serving boy. Their childhood friendship took a dark turn […]

Ex Libris Audio: The Bronze Horseman
I have heard about The Bronze Horseman for years, mostly from people asking for books to read after they finished Outlander. I can see why so many Outlander fans adore these books. There are larger-than-life main characters, a lot of sex (a LOT), and a middle section that was so boring I wanted to poke […]
Blog Tour: Blood Of A Thousand Stars
I saw someone say that this duology was perfect for Star Wars and Firefly fans and I agree completely! I just loved the world of this book so much. The ships, the political intrigue, the planets and their various cultures…they all came together to create the world I enjoyed so much in the first book. […]
Blog Tour: The Prince And The Dressmaker
The Prince and the Dressmaker was such a lovely and uplifting story! The dressmaker, Frances, takes a mysterious assignment to escape the drudgery of her seamstress job and is shown a world what she never knew existed. Sebastian hides who he really is to everyone, that is until Frances starts working for him. Her acceptance […]
Blog Tour: The Belles
The Belles has been a much-hyped book and I have to say, I think it’s warranted. I haven’t felt this excited about a series in a long time. Everything about the story came together in a compelling book that provided food for thought and some surprising twists and turns. First, I’d like to talk about […]
Blog Tour: Batman Nightwalker
I came to this book a huge fan of Marie Lu’s writing, but kind of light on Batman knowledge. (I honestly don’t think I’ve seen a Batman movie since George Clooney played him.) However, one thing I have always liked about his story is that he really doesn’t have any supernatural or god-like powers AND […]
Ex Libris Audio: An Enchantment Of Ravens
Each book set in Faerie has its own rules. While some of the rules are usually the same (they are immortal, they can’t lie) An Enchantment of Ravens had a few new characteristics that I found to be interesting. The main conflict comes because Faeries can’t make craft, meaning they can’t really do anything that […]

Going Into Town: A Love Letter To New York by Roz Chast
I have been enjoying the work of Roz Chast for as long as I can remember. Her art has been a part of The New Yorker for many, many years and her distinctive style and hilarious observations make her one of my favorites. I jumped at the chance to review this book because I know […]
