For my re-read reviews for the Re-read Challenge hosted by Kelly and Hannah, I’ll be adopting Kelly’s reread review format! When I First Read: I first read this series sooo long ago. I can’t remember exactly when but I do remember that this series made me fall in love with fantasy. So it really holds a special place in my heart! What I Remember: Being in love with the world! To be honest, it was so long ago, the plot points escape […]

Review: The Witch Hunter by Virginia Boecker

Why Did I Read? The witches and historical fiction premise sounded so interesting! My Thoughts: When I first heard about this book, I was so excited for it because I had this phase back when I was younger where I just loved historical fiction. I also was highly interested in the Salem witch trials (I loved the play The Crucible and the book The Witch of Blackbird Pond— the latter I read when I was really young and probably started my whole phase!)

Why Did I Read? Are you kidding me? It’s SARAH J. MAAS. I adore her. I will read anything she writes ever and I had only been anticipating this one since she first announced it!!

A Court of Thorns and Roses tells the story of Feyre. It opens with her […]

Why Did I Read? I’ve been meaning to read this for so long! My Secret Sister got it for me and I read it with Racquel and Betty! My Thoughts: This is everything I love about fantasy! There are different kingdoms and there are things called Graces that people can be born with. You can be Graced with an extraordinary ability to cook, or to fight, or to sew. When your Grace manifests, your eyes also change color — each […]

Review: Zodiac by Romina Russell

Review: Zodiac by Romina Russell

Why Did I Read? I got an ARC of this from BEA and the cover is gorgeous! The premise also sounded so interesting – sci fi with zodiac houses? Cool, right? My Thoughts: Unfortunately, I really didn’t like this book. I almost DNFed it but for some reason I kept thinking it was going to pick up. But it didn’t. Basically the main character, Rho, is thrust into a leadership position after a huge tragedy strikes, leaving thousands dead. She’s […]
