Why Did I Read? I love fairy tale retellings. Every time that’s in a blurb, I’m like I need it! My Thoughts: I really loved the first half of this book!

That’s my favorite part about retellings — seeing the unique twists that authors come up with and how they fit into this brand new story and still seeing […]

Why Did I Read? I really enjoyed the first book in the series, A Shadow Bright and Burning and have been eager to see what is going to happen next!

Audiobook Review: Thick as Thieves by Megan Whalen Turner

My Thoughts: Wrapping up my audiobook binge of the Queen’s Thief series so far! For some of my other thoughts of the previous books, check them out here! Steve West once again blows things away with his narration — I honestly don’t think I’d have enjoyed these books nearly as much without his narration! It definitely added depth and emotion to the story for me. I enjoyed Thick as Thieves slightly more than some of the previous books, but still not […]
