Why Did I Read? I really enjoyed Alwyn Hamilton’s Rebel of the Sands (and never finished the series, I really need to get on that) and when I heard about her latest, I knew I had to read it!

My Thoughts: I don’t think the comparisons for Ashlords are completely accurate so take them with a grain of salt! The […]
Why Did I Read? It’s about two writers who clash and turn out to be neighbors with the other and make a bet due to their writer blocks. It has such a cute beachy cover and it seemed like the perfect choice for a summery romance! My Thoughts: First things first: take those preconceptions of what you think this book will be and toss it out the window! Because I was definitely under the impression this would be a hate […]
