ARC Review? Well, I finally did it: I cancelled my Kindle Unlimited subscription. I receive not many, but a few requests to do ARCs. Honestly, as I'm becoming more involved in the book world and trying to write some things of my own, I really wanted to try reviewing some ARCs. ★★★★ Crossing Acheron by … Continue reading ARC Review: Crossing Acheron by HG Bride
Time Travel Romances: Viking Edition
Disclaimer: These are the books I read in my free time at work, which means I skim over all the boring parts & skip to the good ones. The way I stumbled upon these books was like this—after watching outlander on Netflix, I thought it would be better if it were about Vikings. I did … Continue reading Time Travel Romances: Viking Edition
July Wrap Up | 6 Books
Still 15 books ahead, thank the silly little romance novels I keep a steady diet of to stay sane amid the massive undertaking that is The Stormlight Archive.
Book Review | What Lies Beyond the Veil
First, I went into this book expecting nothing and got something?? Honestly, I tend to be critical in my reviews, but man they tore this one up on goodreads lol.

Now I've found a series that does a lot of the same stuff Zodiac Academy does, just...better.
June Wrap Up | 10 Books
For my Storygraph reading goal this year, I went even more conservative than I was last year. And after a slump of zero books finished in March, I am now 15 books ahead of my goal. Is this partly due to not-so-great romance novels? Sure. But it's equally thanks to great series like Temeraire and, now, The Stormlight Archive.
May Wrap Up | 10 Books
An exciting month of reading despite the mediocre ratings. And so many dragons!
April Wrap Up | 5 Books
A couple big-brain books and a couple no-brain books. On balance, I'd say I used all the brain cells I had to spare this month.
March Wrap Up | 5 Books (in Progress)
Many books were enjoyed, even more were started. March was dreary, but a great month for reading.
