This week will be a fairly slow week for me reading-wise as I'll be spending a lot of time prepping for the Fancy Tea Book Club meeting I'll be hosting on Sunday so that won't leave me with a ton of down-time. Going to whittle away at some books nonetheless! First up is The Poppy … Continue reading This Week in Reading: Poppy War, more Assassins, and Wayward Children

Book Review: A Crown of Wishes by Roshani Chokshi
A Crown of Wishes is a YA fantasy that explores themes of self-identity and love that is wonderfully written by Roshani Chokshi. The book is set in the same universe as The Star-Touched Queen but it is not a direct sequel and follows the story of Maya's little sister, Guari. Despite her fierce reputation as … Continue reading Book Review: A Crown of Wishes by Roshani Chokshi
This Week in Reading: Finishing up Song, Nevernight, diving into The Poppy War and Full Moon
So I have an odd reading week ahead of me in that most of these books are not things I normally would have picked up just by browsing, but I'm branching out and trying to expand my reading horizons a bit. I'm almost finished up with The Song of All by Tina LeCount Myers. So far … Continue reading This Week in Reading: Finishing up Song, Nevernight, diving into The Poppy War and Full Moon
This Week in Reading: Scandinavian Inspired Epic Fantasy, A Magical Contest, and Vengeance?

This Week in Reading: Magicians and Whatnot
Last week was a bit of a whirlwind for me, lots of social events this past weekend and other commitments so my reading has shifted around a bit. I finished Farseer but haven't yet picked up The Song of All. Think I'm going to read a few more lighter books before diving into that one, … Continue reading This Week in Reading: Magicians and Whatnot
This Week in Reading: Finishing up Fitz, Zombies, Fairytale Re-tellings, and Finnish-inspired Epic Fantasy
I'm still finishing up Assassin's Quest but the good news is I only have about 150 pages left, and I'm also really enjoying this one. I finally hit a stride with it late last week into the weekend. I have to say, I like Fitz's character much more in this third book. I do have … Continue reading This Week in Reading: Finishing up Fitz, Zombies, Fairytale Re-tellings, and Finnish-inspired Epic Fantasy
This Week In Reading: Second Verse, Same as the First
Ok, so I have a confession. I had a pretty terrible time last week reading-wise and only finished one fantasy novel and one non-fantasy novel--both audiobooks. I'm really only about 60 pages into the Hobb book (Assassin's Quest). I enjoyed the very start of it a lot, and I'm not sure why I haven't felt … Continue reading This Week In Reading: Second Verse, Same as the First
