Blog Tour: The Iron Raven by Julie Kagawa

Thank you so much to Inkyard Press for having me as a part of their blog tour for The Iron Raven by Julie Kagawa! I haven’t read any of her other books and even though I knew this was the beginning of a spin off series from her earlier books, I figured that I would read it anyway and if I liked it, then I’d give the earlier books a chance… well it looks like my TBR just got longer because I’m definitely about to read all of the other books set in this world! It’s got everything I love in it- how the heck have I not already read them???

ARC Review: The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Random House Children’s for letting me read the Gilded Ones early! I was one of those super lucky people who requested my e-ARC on NetGalley a few weeks before the original release date for this book, so I was approved before the book was removed from the catalogue and I’m so happy I was! It was amazing! Like man y’all, if this isn’t on your TBR, make sure you add it now. 

The Gilded Ones 5/5 Stars

ARC Review: My Sweet Enemy by Jenny Hartwell

Thank you so much to Entangled publishing and Netgalley for letting me read My Sweet Enemy early! This was the perfect, most adorable rom com and the best pre-Valentine’s Day treat! Y’all should for sure check it out (and make sure you have some chocolate or ice cream next to you, because after reading about a chocolatier, you’re for sure going to want some). Today’s the release day for My Sweet Enemy, so make sure you go grab it whenever/wherever you can!

ARC Review: Lore by Alexandra Bracken

Ahhhhhhh y’all! Lore was one of my absolute favorite reads of 2020 and I cannot wait to tell y’all all about it and why you need to grab it/read it when it comes out tomorrow! Thank you so much to Disney-Hyperion Books and Netgalley for letting me read Lore early. I had been looking forward to Lore for the longest time and I love everything about Greek mythology, so i knew I was going to enjoy it, especially because I love Alex Bracken’s writing, but man, I didn’t realize just how much I was going to love it!

Lore 5/5 Stars

ARC Review: A Royal Disaster by Jennifer Bonds

Happy release day to A Royal Disaster and thank you so much to Entangled Amara and Netgalley for letting me read an e-ARC of it early! This book was a super cute, quick romance novel that looks like it might be the beginning of a new series about a set of royal siblings in a made up country called Valeria and how they end up getting their HEAs, so definitely super cute!

A Royal Disaster 4/5 Stars

ARC Review: Kissing Lessons by Stefanie London

Thank you so much to Entangled Amara and Netgalley for letting me read an ARC of Kissing Lessons by Stefanie London early! I read Bad Bachelor by Stefanie London earlier this year and I really liked her writing style, so I was very excited to read Kissing Lessons and it definitely did not disappoint- for sure what I needed during the craziness of election results week!

Kissing Lessons 4/5 Stars

ARC Review: Warriors of Wing and Flame by Sara B Larson

Thank you so much to Tor Teen and Netgalley for letting me read a copy of Warriors of Wing and Flame early! I was able to read the e-ARC of book one in this duology (Sisters of Shadow and Light) last year and I liked it, so I was really excited to see how the story continued/was wrapped up in book 2!

Warriors of Wing and Flame 4/5 Stars

Blog Tour: The Code for Love and Heartbreak by Jillian Cantor

Thank you so much to Inkyard Press for having me as a part of their blog tour for the Code for Love and Heartbreak! I’m running so behind on reading all of the books I really need to be reading, so even though this book came out on Tuesday (the 6th) and I was trying to have it read and reviewed by yesterday, I wasn’t able to get to it until today BUT I started it early this afternoon and I finished it so fast because it was such a fun/quick read!

Review: Black Wings Beating by Alex London

Happy Friday y’all! Man, I have been so bad at updating on here, and I want to say it’s because I’ve been feverishly reading… but I haven’t. Tik Tok has taken over my life again and I’m doing some part time consulting for my cycling studio (I’m helping them with their marketing, and I honestly love it so much) and I’m helping one of my aunt’s friends’ daughters in her job search (she just graduated from college and wants a job in marketing but has no idea how to get one and I’ve worked in marketing since 2015, so Avni to the rescue), so busy busy. I’m hoping things will calm down a little so I can read and post more starting next week, but we’ll see. (Also, cuffing season is about to start, so of course I’m all over the dating apps 🤦‍♀️ We need more hours in the day.)

Thank you so much to Netgalley and Fierce Reads/Farrar, Straus and Giroux/Macmillan Children’s Publishing for making Black Wings Beating “Read Now” on Negalley for 24 hours back in either late July or early August! This book came out in 2018 and I’ve been meaning to read it ever since then but just never got around to it, so this forced me to finally get around to it and man am I glad I did! I also checked out book 2 from the library already and I’m SO ready to read it and to read book 3 (which released on September 1st!).

ARC Review: The Beat Match by Kelly Siskind

Thank you so much to NetGalley and CD Books for letting me read a copy of the Beat Match early! This is the third book in the Showmen series, but I haven’t read any of the other books in this series and I don’t think I missed out on anything by not having read any of the others. This was a fun, quick, easy contemporary romance, so if you’re into those, I’d definitely say check it out!
