Happy anniversary!!

Photo of building with sign that says "Powell's City of Books."

Finally made it to one of my bookish bucket list items!

I still have all 54 main books. 😆 They were my obsession growing up.

I reread some of them a few years ago and they hold up shockingly well

Book cover for THE INFINITE STATE by Richard Swan, book 1 in The Decurion Saga. It features two stylized birds of prey, one gold, one red, against a backdrop of a field of stars.

I GOT NETGALLEY APPROVAL FOR THE INFINITE STATE EVERYBODY STAY CALM.

Thank you @torbooks.bsky.social!!!

Weekly Reading Update:03/04/26

This week, I'm recovering from a real reading disappointment by diving into (yet another) isekai-style fantasy adventure. After that, it's on to a fantasy romance inspired by the legend of a Morrocan warrior goddess!

Review: Weavingshaw (Weavingshaw #1) by Heba Al-Wasity | FanFiAddict Al-Wasity regales us with a true slow-burn of old, the eventual lovers are most definitely enemies for a more than sufficient amount of time to meet the cri ...

I had a lovely time, curtesy of #DelReyBooks, with #HebaAlWasity ‘s debut #Weavingshaw!

A Gothic Fantasy Romance with the right amount of yearning enemies and an awful lot of ghosts, that fits comfortably within its genre🌙

I scrolled through Goodreads after I wrote my review because I was curious what others thought....oof.

Review: The Book of Fallen Leaves by A.S. Tamaki

THE BOOK OF FALLEN LEAVES makes a valiant attempt to be the next great dark political fantasy, but is just too slow and muddled to succeed.

Thanks to Orbit Books for the ARC!

Review:

A bit of a rougher month, lot of "mid" books, with one standout exception. Hopefully some better reads in March!

Look at me, writing a review within 24 hours of finishing a book! Am I getting my mojo back?

A "Currently Reading" graphic listening the following: The Book of Fallen Leaves by A.S Tamaki (ARC) - 88%. The Butcher's Masquerade by Matt Dinniman (audiobook) - 80%. The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood - 50%.

Weekend Goal: Finish some books!

Also I will die on the hill that Colin never wrote a book and was passing off someone else's memoir as his own.

THANK YOU

Today I'm reviewing THE RED WINTER by Cameron Sullivan! 💙📚🌈

I loved this take on the werewolf. It did a brilliant job of weaving together different parts of history to tell a harrowing and bloody tale that spanned centuries. 4.5⭐

Thanks to Tor Books for the ARC via NetGalley!

Review: This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me by Ilona Andrews

"THIS KINGDOM WILL NOT KILL ME is a smart and engaging portal fantasy that grounds the story by taking the stakes of its fantasy world seriously."

Thanks @torbooks.bsky.social for the ARC!

I absolutely loved:

The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson (court politics and murder mystery at a competition to choose the next emperor)

The Lost Reliquary by Lyndsay Ely (divine warrior hunts for god-killing weapon so she can kill the god she's bound to)

Happy Book Birthday to THE RED WINTER!

I read The Fox and the Devil by Kirsten White. This book felt like what would happen if Bram Stoker wrote The Devil in the White City.
Come see if I thought it worked!
