Alright, so I'll preface this review by saying that I've never watched a single episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I have, interestingly enough, seen a few episodes of Angel (a spin-off) here and there and am, or I thought I was, decently familiar with the universe. For those of you like me, who haven't … Continue reading Slayer by Kiersten White (No Spoilers)

Freefall by Jessica Barry (No Spoilers)
So this was a quick little read. A little different from my usual, but I'm doing things differently this year so I'm here for it. Freefall is a story told from the alternating perspectives of Allison and Maggie Carpenter, daughter and mother, respectively. The story starts with Maggie being informed that the plane that Allison was … Continue reading Freefall by Jessica Barry (No Spoilers)
The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty (No Spoilers)
If you're looking for just a smol example of how out-of-hand my physical TBR is, look no further than this book. When I saw that The Kingdom of Copper was coming out in 2019, I went ahead and requested The City of Brass so that I could read the books in order and fairly close together because … Continue reading The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty (No Spoilers)
Thick: And Other Essays by Tressie McMillan Cottom (No Spoilers)
What an excellent read! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have a new 🔥 FIERY FAVORITE🔥 Now, it wasn't excellent in the sense that it was easy to read. In fact, at some moments I had to re-read passages a few times before the full meaning actually sunk in, but it was totally worth it. … Continue reading Thick: And Other Essays by Tressie McMillan Cottom (No Spoilers)
There There by Tommy Orange (No Spoilers)
For once, I'm kind of at a loss as to what rating I want to give a book. This book was a journey. It was sometimes confusing, mostly interesting, and definitely busy. There are 12 different perspectives in this book, so keeping them all straight can kind of make you feel like you're reading a … Continue reading There There by Tommy Orange (No Spoilers)
Ink and Bone by Lisa Unger (No Spoilers)
So, I haven't posted my January Recap in my Mount TBR 2019 climb yet (because it's a recap, and that's what you do at the end of a month 🤦), but I ended up deciding to do both the digital climb (books that are on your TBR that you don't own) and the physical climb … Continue reading Ink and Bone by Lisa Unger (No Spoilers)
The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden (No Spoilers)
What a way to start off 2019! I should preface this review by saying that this is the second time that I've read this book. For whatever reason (I think I just got swamped) the first time I read it, I didn't do a review on here. One of my reading goals in 2019 is … Continue reading The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden (No Spoilers)
Firstlife by Gena Showalter (No Spoilers)
Well, I was totally right about how many books I would finish while in the land of no internet and no cell service. I finished five books - three of which were over 400 pages long, one of which was in the 600 page range. One of them was a reread (I wanted to remember … Continue reading Firstlife by Gena Showalter (No Spoilers)
The Hundredth Queen by Emily R. King (No Spoilers)
So I'm trying to get all my reviews squared away before we head off for the Thanksgiving holiday, because I know I'll finish at least 3 books while I'm away. My aunt has no cell service and no wifi where she lives so aside from watching television, which I hardly do when I'm at home … Continue reading The Hundredth Queen by Emily R. King (No Spoilers)
The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco (No Spoilers)
Two small little tangents before I jump in to this review: (1) it was recently brought to my attention that if you read any of my reviews from the WordPress Reader, rather than going to my actual page, the spoilers that I hide between the two little ♈ symbols that I always use to indicate a spoiler … Continue reading The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco (No Spoilers)
