A Day of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon
A Beautifully Written and Sweeping Epic Fantasy I really enjoyed the beautifully written 865-page epic fantasy A Day of Fallen Night (The Roots of Chaos #0) by Samantha Shannon. This is the new prequel to The Priory of the Orange Tree. I loved The Priory of the Orange Tree, but it took me at least […]
Honey in the Marrow by Emily Waters
A very good debut novel that will give you all the feels You won’t be surprised that what caught my attention about this book is its title… The romance genre is full of commonplace titles possibly to make clear the type of story to expect. It’s ok, I get that not all the books can […]

My enjoyment […]

This wasn’t really my kind of book
Review of Old Love by Nancy J. Hedin I thought this was okay but it wasn’t really my kind of book. While I’m a cozy mystery fan, this book had this quirky edge that never really fit right for me. I think the book had some good ideas, but the execution just kept feeling a […]
Another very good addition to the Pink Bean Series
