A Far Wilder Magic by Allison Saft My rating: 2 of 5 stars Thank you to the publisher, Wednesday Books, and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of A Far Wilder Magic in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. The Gist This is the second book I have read that decided to throw historical fiction and modern day elements together without any thought of how that could affect the reader. Like me. I swear, I felt my brain get all hot as I was trying to figure out when this story is suppose to take place. Seriously, my desire to shout “When are we?” followed…

Shine Your Icy Crown
Shine your Icy Crown by Amanda Lovelace My rating: 3 of 5 stars Thank you to the publisher, Andrews McMeel Publishing, and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of Shine Your Icy Crown in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. The Gist I loved Lovelace’s first poetry series, Women Are Some Kind Of Magic and was excited for Shine Your Icy Crown of her newest series, You Are Your Own Fairy Tale. In fact, I was so excited that I didn’t even notice I had requested the audio version on NetGalley. I’m not the greatest admirer of audiobooks, so I had to find a printed…

Nefertiti
Nefertiti by Michelle Moran My rating: 5 of 5 stars The Gist OMG! Yup, usually I’m not an “OMG” type of reviewer, but I have to make an exception for Nefertiti. I can’t believe it took me nine years to read this! It’s been on my to-read list ever since I started my book review journey on Goodreads. Every year I told myself I will read it and every year something came between. I have loved everything that has to do with Ancient Egypt since I was in the third grade, so it is kind of beyond me why I never thought to make reading this book a priority. Nefertiti…

All opinions are my own. The Gist Have you ever been so disappointed by a book that you didn’t even want to write the review, because you really did not want to think of it any longer? Yup, that’s me right now. I can’t be bothered. On top of that, the majority of the reviews for Mrs. England are rather positive. So, what’s going on? Do I just happen to be one of the few, who…

A Forgery of Roses
A Forgery of Roses by Jessica S. Olson My rating: 2 of 5 stars Thank you to the publisher, Inkyard Press, and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of A Forgery of Roses in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. The Gist I remember requesting “Sing Me Forgotten” last year through NetGalley; I was so excited by the premise that I just had to read it. Got declined and haven’t had a chance to read it yet. When I got invited to join the blot tour to promote A Forgery of Roses I could barely contain myself. Fast forward to just about now and all…
