Book Review: Extasia by Claire Legrand (Katherine Tegan Books)
Last month, I ordered a one-time book box from the Unplugged Book Box. They are a book box focused on self-care, and in it I recieved beautiful smelling lotion and perfume as well as a copy of Extasia by Claire Legrand (published by Katherine Tegan Books). Due to the packaging, it made the read even…… Continue reading Book Review: Extasia by Claire Legrand (Katherine Tegan Books)
Book Review: A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness (Viking)
I recently joined a few virtual book clubs, and one of them was for booktokers in Ohio. For this month, we voted to read A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness (published by Viking).

ARC Review: Adventures in Thousandworld: The Darkenstar by Joseph A. Davis (Eken Press)
Back in May, the author reached out to me on Instagram and asked if I’d be interested in reading his middle grade fantasy that had recently been translated from Sweedish. I said of course, but I only just got around to reading it (sorry Joseph!) Thank you so much for this copy in exchange for…… Continue reading ARC Review: Adventures in Thousandworld: The Darkenstar by Joseph A. Davis (Eken Press)
Book Review: Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz (Simon & Schuester)
Wow that’s a long title. I didn’t really notice how long it was until I was typing on bookstagram to everyone asking what my current read was. Aristotle & Dante is a book that has been super popular the lost couple of years but I never got a chance to read it until now. Benjamin…… Continue reading Book Review: Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz (Simon & Schuester)
Book Review: One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston (St. Martins)
Back in March, I read Red, White, and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston, and it is quite probably my favorite read of the year. Not long after, I went to the bookstore and picked up One Last Stop, because I needed to read more McQuiston, and I finally got around to reading it. If you…… Continue reading Book Review: One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston (St. Martins)
Book Review: On the Come Up by Angie Thomas (Balzer + Bray)
A few years ago I read The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas and was absolutley blown away. So, back in January when I went to Myopic Books in Chicago and found a used copy of On the Come Up, I knew it was fate telling me to read it. I finally got around to…… Continue reading Book Review: On the Come Up by Angie Thomas (Balzer + Bray)
Book Review: The Stardust Thief by Chelsea Abdullah (Orbit)
The Stardust Thief by Chelsea Abdulla (published by Orbit) was my June Book of the Month choice and it seems I’m on a bit of a Persian mythology kick this month. Chelsea Abdulla is an American-Kuwaiti writier who grew up in Kuwait, and thus very familiar with the desert creatures and mythology she writes about.…… Continue reading Book Review: The Stardust Thief by Chelsea Abdullah (Orbit)
Book Review: This Woven Kingdom by Tahereh Mafi (Harper)
I received This Woven Kingdom in LitJoy Crate, and this edition is absolutley beautiful. Like the last book I read, there is a dust jacket with character art inside, and the book itself had golden edges. I love it so much. But onto the actual story. The best way I can have of describing This…… Continue reading Book Review: This Woven Kingdom by Tahereh Mafi (Harper)
