(Review #384) “Ink Blood Sister Scribe” by Emma Torzs was a 4.4/5 stars for me! Overall the level of magic and world building felt like it had vibes similar to A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross but the setting and timing were not comparable. I liked the second half more than the first. This isContinue reading “Ink Blood Sister Scribe”

The Wishing Game
(Review #379) 5/5 stars for this Book of the Month, “The Wishing Game,” by Meg Shaffer. It’s contemporary fiction with a tiny bit of romance Despite how magical it feels, there’s no true fantasy element. I loved every bit of it!!! Here’s my thoughts while reading: Alrighty, so is this a book within a book?Continue reading “The Wishing Game”
The Book of Gothel
I really didn’t know what to rate this at first because as said on Instagram, the story wasn’t what I had expected based on the cover image. If you like a slow, descriptive story of generations of mothers, daughters, and strong women then this is a great option. I guess I’d give this one aContinue reading “The Book of Gothel”
Hang the Moon
Review #372 ‘Hang the Moon’ by Jeannette Walls for a 3.5/5 stars for me. This historical fiction lacked plot and intrigue for me. It starts with a prologue of when Sallie is 8 years old and almost accidentally gets her younger brother killed when they’re playing on a racing wagon. Sallie wants to be theContinue reading “Hang the Moon”
Yours Truly
(Review #369) This fake relationship contemporary romance stand-alone received a 4/5 stars for me. It was in two PoV with heavy interior narrative. Here’s my live comments while reading: Briana is a doctor in an ER who deserves the promotion as chief but the newbie doc who has already been nicknamed ‘Dr. Death’ has decidedContinue reading “Yours Truly”
Review #358
This historical fiction stand-alone received a 4.2/5 stars. Tho mediums weren’t witches but the story still had that witchy vibe that I love. Again, basically all men are evil and yucky. I’m at the point now that if a male is truly positive in any book it’s refreshing. There’s (clean) FF romance as a subplotContinue reading “Review #358”
Review #348
Queen of Thieves earned a 4.6/5 stars for the historical fiction category. Written with two female protagonist points of view in London -1946- Alice Diamond is a thief among her gang of only women. (First person, present tense, Alice’s voice really shines through in the first few pages. Then, 19 year old Nell is newlyContinue reading “Review #348”

Review #287
This Book of the Month selection has been sitting on my shelf for a while but I finally got to it. I loved that it was in first person narrative but gave it a 3.5/5 stars. This is a short review because I found myself skimming so I can’t do the book full justice. Kaikeyi’sContinue reading “Review #287”
Review #280
I rated this a 3.7/5 stars. This standalone book of the month selection was a suspenseful mystery with family drama, sabotage, lies, secrets, & unravelings. There were many points of view and the writing felt a bit dry overall. Here’s my thoughts while reading. The prologue shows that Amaya is a neurotic woman who possiblyContinue reading “Review #280”
