I’m an unlikely reader of fantasy adventures, but there’s one series that’s settled deep within my heart, and it’s definitely got a place to stay. I couldn’t really call it a series in a linear sense, it’s more like a couple series all about the same world – the world of Arvia, as crafted by D. H. Willison. I’ve simply…

I haven’t encountered many great books about experiencing and learning to live with chronic illness, but Life Sciences is definitely one of them. And it’s not a technical book either – I was surprised how something as unromantic and uncomfortable as being chronically ill could be expressed as poetically as it was in this book. Check out on Goodreads ★★★★✬…

Wow… What a book. Giving the Devil His Due is haunting, morbidly interesting, graphic, important, fascinating. It hooks you like a disaster you can’t look away from – it’s scary, but also you just kind of need to know. I can’t quite describe it, but it’s just my lack of words. Because it left me speechless – and I mean…

There is something about getting attached to an imaginary universe, and I believe this is happening to me in regards to Arvia and its lore. Hazelhearth Hires Heroes is the third book set in this mythical place, and despite me not typically being overly fond of fantasy stories, I am head over heels for this series, because I just love…

I first learned about From My Balcony to Yours through a review on Bookstagram by Sad Sunday, and was immediately curious to read it. Luckily, a short while later the author messaged me with a review request. I eagerly accepted. One evening’s read, From My Balcony to Yours really put me back in time and made me wonder about the…

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to write a book with someone else? I know I have. And now that I think about it, I’m not so sure why I’ve always thought of that as mind-blowingly complicated – after all, many of us work in teams. A lot of the work we do is divided between individuals,…

I have been waiting to read the last book of The Indigo Chronicles series for a while now. Three years I’ve been following this series, and I can’t say l’ve followed any other one like this – one by one, as the books come out. It’s an experience like no other, and I certainly enjoyed it – incredibly. Children of…

Well, this was one hell of a story! Today I’m going to tell you about two books in a series called The Tales of Arvia, and it’s just about the most unusual set of books I’ve ever read. Harpyness is Only Skin Deep and Finding Your Harpy Place should really work for someone who’s into fantasy and RPGs – it’s…

Today I want to share a book series that’s been really warming me up in the past half a year or so. A Summoning of Souls is book 3 in the Spectral City series, a story about the living working with the dead on a common goal – ensuring the safety of New York. The books focus on the first Ghost…

There are books you read that engross you so much, you develop these love-hate relationships with the characters. You toss these books over the room when that silly ass girl does this or that. You curse under your breath in a coffee shop when that guy won’t follow through with his romantic intentions despite all sanity and reason pointing to…

Today I have a guest post on my blog! This hasn’t happened for a while, so I’m very excited. Even more so, because it’s for the blog tour of a book called Super Sick: Making Peace with Chronic Illness, and you know that I am all for the cause of spreading awareness on chronic illness. Really, the more books we…

Finally, it’s my stop on the blog tour for book two of this wonderful series! I loved The Devil’s Apprentice so much that I couldn’t wait to read the next one. I even bought myself a copy and was about to start reading when I was invited to a blog tour for the sequel! Of course I jumped at the…

Okay, so. This isn’t going to be the most traditional post ever. But that is okay! Because it’s going to be ALL about fangirling and fantasy, and I know you all like that stuff. We all like this! What could be more fun?!! Anyway, a little bit more about what prompted this fangirling session in particular. Here you have a…

Sometimes we value things based on how much they cost us. We can’t really help it, it’s simply psychology, or maybe its societal. But that’s not always right, and it certainly wasn’t when it came to The Sundered. Because I got this book as a freebie or review copy before I even blogged, and let it sit unread on my…

It’s hard to even start reviewing The Design and Construction of the Nautilus, because its so unique and just so stunning. Have you ever wondered what would happen if the machines from your favorite scifi could be brought to life, at least in the form of blueprints and calculations? Of course, some of those might be well off limits –…

I finished Walking to the End of the World several weeks ago, but I am still feeling a reading hangover, so to say – I still wish I was reading it. I keep catching myself stuck in how I imagined the places the book talked about the the way it made me feel. It’s like I almost went there myself.…

This has probably been one of my top 5 books all year! And you know I know what I’m saying, because I’ve read 142 books so far, in 2018. I can’t believe I almost said no to this gem, when the author sent me a review request – I was overloaded on review copies at the time. Little did I…

Going Widdershins was recommended to me by a friend whose opinions I trust. And still, what I expected from the blurb was a whimsical, maybe upbeat tale of living differently and finding a safe haven of sincere values in an unsafe world. But what I got was so much more. What I got was a book I highlighted the living…

This is a review of quite an untraditional book, and it’s very hard to place both its genre, and its message. But that’s in a good way! The Redemption of Marvin Fuster is a modern day fairytale that could never happen in a world where people didn’t believe some kind of miracles. And perhaps it couldn’t happen in our world…
