Rating: 4 / 5 I saw mixed reviews for 56 DAYS by Catherine Ryan Howard, but I knew that I had really loved her previous books so was happy to add this one to my Book of the Month box a while back. 56 DAYS follows Ciara and Oliver, a couple who have just met… Continue reading 56 DAYS by Catherine Ryan Howard

THE TRAITOR BARU CORMORANT by Seth Dickinson
Rating: 3.5 / 5 THE TRAITOR BARU CORMORANT by Seth Dickinson was the November pick for the #DeepDarkReads buddy read on Instagram. This was another new to me pick, but the premise sounded very intriguing! THE TRAITOR BARU CORMORANT follows the title character. Baru was raised on an island which was conquered by the Empire of… Continue reading THE TRAITOR BARU CORMORANT by Seth Dickinson
NAMESAKE by Adrienne Young
Rating: 4 / 5 I loved FABLE by Adrienne Young when I received it in a Fairy Loot box, so I ordered their matching special edition of NAMESAKE when it came available. I had to wait for the UK publication date and made myself wait to actually read it until my copy came, so I… Continue reading NAMESAKE by Adrienne Young
Monday Reading Check In
Happy Monday, book friends! I lost a good portion of my weekend to a nasty migraine and I am feeling very much not ready for a new week. Thankfully I had all of my current reads on audio, so I could stay mostly in bed with a snuggly pup listening to my books between naps.… Continue reading Monday Reading Check In
THE POSSESSION by Michael Rutger

THE POSESSION continues to follow Nolan Moore,… Continue reading THE POSSESSION by Michael Rutger

EMMA by Jane Austen
Rating: 4.5 / 5 Back in college many (many!) years ago, I took a class on Jane Austen where we read most, if not all, of her novels in rapid succession. I remember at the time enjoying them, but not really taking them all in very well having read them too quickly. I was very… Continue reading EMMA by Jane Austen
PULSE by B. A. Bellec
I received a complimentary copy of PULSE by B. A. Bellec as part of a TLC Book Tours scheduled tour. Thank you to the author for the opportunity to read PULSE!

My December TBR
Happy December - I'm still more than a bit in denial that we're counting down the final days of the year! If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen that I have created a bookish advent calendar for December. I repurposed an old tea advent calendar and put 24 different reading prompts behind… Continue reading My December TBR
