Inject this into my veins! Seriously, this book gave me so much joy. Huge thanks to Montlake for providing me a copy via NetGalley, and giving me the chance to meet and spend time with Eden Sands and Anna Moss.

Book Review: Everything Is Beautiful by Eleanor Ray

Format: PaperbackRelease Date: February 4th, 2021Age: AdultGenre: ContemporaryGoodreads Rating: 2/5 Stars I didn’t enjoy this as much as I thought I would. If I’m honest, parts of it were downright messy, and it couldn’t seem to decide what genre it wanted to slot into it. I’m all for blending genres, but it’s done in suchContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Everything Is Beautiful by Eleanor Ray”

Narrated by: Ione ButlerPublisher: HarperAudioGenre: Rom-ComFormat: AudiobookRelease Date: June 23, 2020 Rating: 5/5 Stars Listening to this was like sitting in a warm bath. There’s just so much joy here, along with just-the-right-amount of angst, tension, and steam for this to make an absolutely delightful rom-com. Oh! And it’s funny, too, of course. I’d beenContinueContinue reading “Audiobook Review: Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert”

Book Review: Scarlet by Genevieve Cogman

Publisher: TorFormat: ebookRelease Date: May 11, 2023Age: AdultGenre: Historical FantasyGoodreads Rating: 3/5 Stars I really like Historical Fantasy. I especially like it when it adds in vampires, and I admit I’m a little bit of a sucker (no pun attended) for stuff around the French Revolution. Throw in the fact this is a retelling andContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Scarlet by Genevieve Cogman”

Book Review: Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

Format: PaperbackRelease Date: June 5th, 2012Age: Young AdultGenre: Fantasy – RomanceGoodreads Rating: 3/5 Stars I can see why this might have been a bit more…unique, back in 2012 when it was originally released, and I get why some people really like it, but for me it was kind of meh. I do want to readContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo”

Graphic Novel Review: Ultimate X-Men Collection, Book 1

by Mark Millar, Geoff JohnsPublisher: MarvelFormat: PaperbackGenre: Sci-Fi/Fantasy/SuperheroesRelease Date: July 26th 2006Goodreads Rating: 3/5 Stars I was trying to put my finger on why I didn’t click with this as much as, say, The Ultimates, and a large part of it boils down to my feelings about the characters. I don’t have a huge attachmentContinueContinue reading “Graphic Novel Review: Ultimate X-Men Collection, Book 1”

Book Review: Mystic Bonds by C.C. Solomon

Format: ebookRelease Date: March 5th, 2019Genre: Fantasy – ParanormalGoodreads Rating: 2/5 Stars I really wanted to like this one. Normally I can forgive a lot in Paranormal Romances, and I don’t mind if some elements are weaker as long as others are stronger – the plot can be a bit basic, but if the charactersContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Mystic Bonds by C.C. Solomon”
