Book Review: What Kings Ate and Wizards Drank by Krista D. Ball
So, this one is a little unusual for me to review in that it is a non-fiction book. It also happens to be written by a friend of mine, so I'll get that out of the way right up front. I picked this one up to read for my fantasy related non-fiction square for the … Continue reading Book Review: What Kings Ate and Wizards Drank by Krista D. Ball

This Week in Reading: Trolls in Love and Witchery
Wow, this past weekend sure flew by! I managed to get a lot of reading in though. Finished up The Oddling Prince by Nancy Springer on Saturday (such a great book, I was pretty much a sobbing mess when I turned the last page) and started a new book on Saturday night. So, currently finishing … Continue reading This Week in Reading: Trolls in Love and Witchery
Book Review: The Oddling Prince by Nancy Springer
I'm struggling with a way to begin this review that won't sound like I'm incoherently babbling about how much I loved reading this because, for me, it's just that great a book. So, I'll start in the usual way, with a short summary of the book. The Oddling Prince takes place in the kingdom of … Continue reading Book Review: The Oddling Prince by Nancy Springer
2018 Reading Goals
As we're near the end of February, this post discussing my reading goals for this year may seem like it's a bit late. But I thought I'd talk about my reading goals now that we're a little way into the year and see how I've been doing so far and if I want to shift … Continue reading 2018 Reading Goals
The Infinity of Space and Other Humorous Concepts
Hi! Today, in my review, I'm going to discuss three books. All are independently published, and I will be singing the praises of this amazing publishing option, as well as warning people away from the dragons and goblins that lurk along the way. For like any good fantasy quest, the journey to the Lost Tower … Continue reading The Infinity of Space and Other Humorous Concepts
Book Review: Iron Gold by Pierce Brown
I am a big fan of the Red Rising series by Pierce Brown. In fact, the audiobooks of Red Rising, narrated so fantastically by Tim Gerard Reynolds, are what sparked my love of audiobooks. It wasn't only the narration, which is really top tier, but also the energy of the story itself that made me … Continue reading Book Review: Iron Gold by Pierce Brown
This Week in Reading: Southern Gothic, How-To Feed Your Hero, Young Nobles With a Touch of Fey, and Witchery
This week I'm finishing up two books from last week before starting a couple of new ones. I'm about twenty percent through What Kings Ate and Wizards Drank by Krista D. Ball. So far this has been a pretty fun read. Sure it's non-fiction, but it's also a humorous read and a pretty informative writing guide. … Continue reading This Week in Reading: Southern Gothic, How-To Feed Your Hero, Young Nobles With a Touch of Fey, and Witchery
Book Review: The Sisters Mederos by Patrice Sarath
I was immediately interested in this book because it's a fantasy of manners which is one of my favorite sub-genres of fantasy. I enjoy stories about folks navigating society, especially if they also point out that society's constraints and issues there may be within it. I was not disappointed as The Sisters Mederos does a … Continue reading Book Review: The Sisters Mederos by Patrice Sarath
