Where Darkness Blooms by Andrea Hanna My rating: 2 of 5 stars Thank you to the publisher, Wednesday Books, and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of Where Darkness Blooms in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. Trigger Warning: mention and referral to sexual assault/rape. The Gist I started reading Where Darkness Blooms at the beginning of my vacation and then wasn’t able to read anymore until I was on the plane back home. So, there was a good week and a half during which the book stayed unopened. I don’t like taking big breaks while reading a book. It takes me out of the…

Gilded Serpent
Gilded Serpent by Danielle Jensen My rating: 5 of 5 stars Thank you to the publisher, Tor Teen, and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of Gilded Serpent in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. The Gist So, this is part three in Jensen’s epic fantasy series and boy do I love it! I started Gilded Serpent over a year ago.

Google Drive & Docs In 30 Minutes by Ian Lamont My rating: 4 of 5 stars Thank you to the publisher, i30 Media Corp., and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of Google Drive & Docs In 30 Minutes in exchange for an honest review.

At some point I thought it might come in handy, but that was about it. Then we got thrown into the lockdown era, when working from home became the relative norm. I was amazed by all that could…

Buzz Books 2022: Fall/Winter by Publishers Lunch My rating: 3 of 5 stars Thank you to the publisher, Publishers Lunch, and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of Buzz Books 2022: Fall/Winter 2022 in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. The Gist This is the second Buzz Books publication I perused. And I have to say I’m a little underwhelmed. It is nobody’s fault. It just appears like not many books are going to get published in the upcoming Fall/Winter season. I took a quick look at the 2020 edition I still had on my Kindle and there were a lot more books from a…

NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit
NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit by We are Bookish My rating: 5 of 5 stars Thank you to the publisher, We Are Bookish, and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. The Gist This is going to be a quick little review. I can’t remember how I stumbled upon this guide book, but I’m glad I did. I have been requesting and reviewing book titles on NetGalley for almost ten years now and thought I had it pretty much figured out. However, it is always good to brush up on one’s skills, especially if any…
