Book Review – The Ex Hex
After hearing a lot of buzz about this book from booktubers that I follow, I was able to pick it up at the library! It’s touted as having a very autumnal vibe, perfect for Halloween (the story takes place in the days surrounding Samhain). After suffering a bad end to a summer fling with the…

Book Review – The Golden Enclaves
Hello, book I waited all year to read…. The big question: Was it satisfying and worth the wait? The big answer: ……..maybe? But yes. The Golden Enclaves by Naomi Novik, Book 3 in The Scholomance trilogy. This story picks up right where book 2 ends: El landing at her mother’s feet, finally free of the…

Book Review – Moonshine & Magic
This was such a fun, quick, supernatural assortment of delights. Bella Falls writes a specific type of book and while I love the idea of Cozy Mysteries, I haven’t found a ton that I’ve fallen in love with. However, Moonshine & Magic ended up being a wonderful and surprising treat for me. Moonshine & Magic…

Book Review – The Man Who Caught The Storm
This was probably the saddest book I will read in 2022. If you’ve ever followed storm chasing, then you probably know of Tim Samaras. He was a legendary chaser who sought to understand tornadoes and how they are formed in order to help save lives. His death was truly a tragedy and tornado science study…

Book Review – The Clackity
Wow, let me start off by saying right up front that I was not expecting The Clackity by Lora Senf to be as dark as it was! I didn’t know much about the book before I started reading it, so I was surprised that as a middle grade book it had a slaughterhouse, serial killer’s…

Book Review – When Humans Nearly Vanished
I have a strong interest in natural disaster types of media. They are some of my favorite movies, television shows, YouTube channels, and books. I picked up When Humans Nearly Vanished by Donald R. Prothero hoping that I’d get to hear about the way the volcano erupting changed the environment, about the damage and catastrophe…

Book Review – Snow & Rose
I first heard about this book on Alexandra Roslyn’s YouTube channel a while back and thought it looked beautiful. It’s my second Autumn TBR book I’ve completed this fall and let me just say, WOW, what a great little fairy tale this was! It was the perfect amount of cozy and enchanting for the season.…

Book Review – The King in Yellow
Okay, I started my Autumn TBR a little early since, technically, Autumn doesn’t begin until the 22nd. But, that’s okay because I just finished a 900 page book this week and really needed a quick one to reset my reading pace. The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers has been on my TBR shelf…

Book Review – Empire of Silence
I’m a little late to the game on this one, as Empire of Silence came out in 2018, but I only just discovered it a few months ago. That being said, if you love scifi and have not yet read it, go pick it up right now. It’s that good. A once high noble of…
