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
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
This Week in Reading: Ongoing Rebellions, Southern Witches, Fantasy of Manners, and Medieval Recipes
The last week sure does feel like it flew by fast. I'm still working on listening to the audiobook of Iron Gold by Pierce Brown. I am really enjoying it but it does tend to be on the grimmer side if things, so I can only do so much of the audio a day. I … Continue reading This Week in Reading: Ongoing Rebellions, Southern Witches, Fantasy of Manners, and Medieval Recipes

This week I'm listening to Iron Gold by Pierce Brown, the next trilogy in the Red Rising universe.

Book Review: Ink, Iron, and Glass by Gwendolyn Clare
Full disclosure: I ended up with an ARC copy of this in my book pile back in September while attending the Baltimore Book Festival. Since the book is being released later this month I thought it was a good time to dive in. Ink, Iron, and Glass takes place in an alternate version of the … Continue reading Book Review: Ink, Iron, and Glass by Gwendolyn Clare

Favorite Reads of 2017
I'm perpetually behind on things, constantly catching up on reading, writing, and a myriad of other things and this should come to no surprise to anyone who knows me well, but writing this post has been on my list of things to do for several weeks now. Anyway. Most of these books were not published … Continue reading Favorite Reads of 2017
