With rave reviews everywhere, and even a Netflix option by Barack & Michelle Obama’s production company, there’s certainly a lot of hype attached to the Firekeeper’s Daughter. The main character Duanis, is a biracial 18 year old hockey player who gets caught up in an FBI investigation in her local Obijwe community. Perhaps I’m just used […]
The Good Things Sequel to The Eyes of Tamburah, Maria V Snyder’s new NA fantasy series. I really enjoyed the exploration of the magic! Shyla’s new abilities with the Eye’s, and the moral dilemmas they put her in, were very interesting! We got to know the side characters better! They’re some of the most fascinating […]
Um how is it the end of June 2021 already? I feel like it was only yesterday that I was doing 2020’s Mid Year Book Freak Out Tag during lockdown… and here I am back in lockdown again. One of my reading goals at the start of the year was to read a little bit […]
The Good Things This was a reread for me! Maria V Snyder is one of my all time favourite authors. Fast paced New Adult fantasy set in one of the most unique worlds I’ve ever read. The world building is amazing! It’s so seamlessly woven into the narrative and plot. I loved Shyla as a […]
When I first heard of this lesbian ghost thriller set in Malaysia featuring an Asian main character, I was totally on board, and started the audiobook right away. I haven’t read anything by Zen Cho before, but this cover and premise totally drew me in and I needed to find out more. A melting pot […]
If a book has Asian characters, I’m definitely down for it, but also one with a beautiful cover? Count me in. The Ones We’re Meant To Find is about two sisters looking to find each other again, and I was immediately curious at the blurb. A sister on an abandoned island and a comparison to Black Mirror and We Were […]
I was not ready for the wild ride that was My Contrary Mary. And I have no idea why because all of the first two Jane books (yes, sorry I will get to My Calamity Jane soon) were equally wild. But if you loved the world and the characters from My Lady Jane, you will highly enjoy My Contrary Mary. In […]
The Good Things My first Nora Roberts book! I’ve been meaning to read her stuff for ages. The Awakening is the first book in a New Adult/ Adult fantasy series. I felt so much nostalgia reading this portal fantasy. The writing style reminded me of old-school fantasy series, and it’s filled with classic fantasy tropes […]
Being the huge Grisha fan that I am, Rule of Wolves was one of my most highly anticipated reads of this year. Nina and Nikolai are my favourite characters from the series, and following their perspectives and seeing what they’re up to is always a delight. While I know some people had their reservations about King […]
