Review: The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern (Audible Edition)
This was my most anticipated read of the year. I had it on pre order for months and I even got the Audible edition because I knew I would never be able to put it down! The book arrived and it was beautiful and it has been all over my IG feed because I simply love it. I also loved Erin Morgenstern’s debut novel, The Night Circus, and I couldn’t imagine a world in which I wouldn’t feel the same about this book. So the fateful day came and I downloaded the Audible edition and started reading the day after it was released…..and finally almost 6 weeks later I simply…

Review: Things She’s Seen (Northern Circle Coven #2) by Pat Esden
When I started reading this one, I didn’t know that it was part of a series. I read the summary and I thought it sounded interesting and I was totally on board with reading it. I started to notice fairly quickly that I was missing some gaps in the story and I went on to Goodreads and noticed that it was in fact the second book in a series. I decided to keep plugging away at this book though rather than go back to read the first book. While I was missing some bits of the larger story, I thought the author was doing a reasonable job keeping the reader…

Review: The Queen of Nothing (The Folk of the Air #3) by Holly Black
Here we are, the last review for the last book in this horribly addicting series. As I mentioned in my review of The Cruel Prince, this was a series that I was sure that I wouldn’t like so thus I avoided it like the plague. But I couldn’t deny the hype for the final installment of the series, The Queen of Nothing. My IG feed was saturated with pics of this book and people re-reading the series again in preparation so I found it extra hard to resist reading the first book. After a couple of chapters of book one, I knew I was a hooked and ordered the remaining…

Review: The Wicked King (The Folk of the Air #2) by Holly Black
So as soon as I finished the first book in this series, The Cruel Prince, I knew I immediately needed the next two books so I ordered them before I was done with the first book. I will say this, it’s been a long time since I have woken up early to read a book, let alone finishing a series of three books in four days. But this series made me fall back in love with YA fantasy and made me love early morning reading sessions again! I’ll be honest, it’s hard for me to write this review because the three books all blurred together because I read them so…

Review: The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air #1) by Holly Black
I saw The Cruel Prince all over my IG feed for months. I see it on all the recommended reading lists and people are raving about it. But I was determined to not like this one. I love YA fantasy just as much as the next person, but I went through a long period where that was all I read and I frankly got burnt out on it so I took a lengthy break. Then this one started popping up all over and I was convinced that it was overrated and sure to disappoint….also I am not into fairies like not even at all so I was sure this on…

Review: A Jewel Bright Sea (Mage and Empire #1) by Claire O’Dell
This book had a lot to recommend itself….pirates, adventure, magic, romance, fantasy. So many things that made it sound like a fun book to escape into. I also thought the cover was pretty, though a little on the busy side. But ultimately I thought the promise of adventure and pirates sounded like a winning combo so picking up this one up when the time came, was full of promise for me. I haven’t read anything by O’dell before but I know she has written a couple of other books that are part of a series, so I was curious to see what her writing style was and how the magic…

Except: BURSTS OF FIRE (Addicted to Heaven #1) by Susan Forest
I am thrilled to be able to give you guys a sneak peak of this book today! It’s been out since early August and has been receiving lots of great reviews. I haven’t had the pleasure of reading it yet, but this little snippet sounds wonderful! If you like epic fantasy then you will defiantly want to check this one out. While this is more in the YA genre, I think it would be a book that adults would love as well! Not only does it have magic and other fantasy elements, but it sounds like it’s going to tackle some big issues too much as addiction and mental illness…

Review: The Fellowship of the Ring (The Lord of the Rings #1) by J.R.R. Tolkien (Audible Edition)
I am about to come at you with an unpopular opinion. I haven’t read Lord of the Rings, I watched the films but was completely lost and hated them so much. I’ve tried to watch them so many times and simply gave up. This is a series that I want to love so so so bad. I have multiple copies of the books but I am afraid to read them because I hated the movies so much and feared I would find the books boring. Having discovered audiobooks recently, I thought this would be a good time to try my hand at reading this classic series especially with this fantastic…

Giveaway: Ultimate Game of Thrones Fan package!
To say that I am a Game of Thrones fan is horribly inaccurate…..I am what you might call a super fan. It is known. I am so sad that it is coming to an end after this season, and the wait for Winds of Winter is absolutely killing me—waiting for the next book is like suffering through The Long Night! I know there are a lot of other fans out there of both the book series and the show, and I can’t tell you how excited I am to be partnering with BookTrib to share about this outstanding giveaway. Raise your banners. Winter is here. BookTrib is preparing for the…

Review: Circe by Madeline Miller, Perdita Weeks (Narrator)
As I have recently shared with you all, I only just got into audiobooks. I read—or rather listened—-to a few that I really liked and saw instantly that I could benefit from an Audible subscription. One of the first books recommended to me was Circe. My sister highly recommended it and so did just about everyone on my Instagram poll. I was eager to read this one because frankly it’s been everywhere and I have been dying to read it. Everyone said Perdita Weeks was a wonderful narrator so I was excited to use my very first Audible credit on this book!
