Books I Want to Read July 2023
Another month, another careful curation of books I want to read! I’m not entirely sure why I have more of a desire to read in the summer months, I think it definitely stems from having summers off from school growing up, so I would try to devour every and any book before the school year returned with it’s exams and homework. Either way, I am not complaining because this month some highly anticipated releases will finally be on shelves. I do tend to lean more towards fiction and romance novels around the summer time as that seems to be when most of them are published. But of course, YA and…

Book Review – Silver in the Bone by Alexandra Bracken
I am so happy to be writing another book review because this means that I loved the book and wanted to talk about it to anybody willing to listen! If I had to describe a true YA Fantasy book that gives you all the feels, mystery, and a badass FMC to root for, I would just tell you to read Silver in the Bones by Alexandra Bracken. It was such a quick read but in the best way because it kept me wanting to learn more about the world, the characters, and their untimely fates. I loved the touches to Arthurian legend, how it played on a classic tale in…

Writing Journey | Overcoming Fear, Self-Doubt and Failures
Hii! I know, crazy I am posting this type of blog post on this lovely Monday. I just did a quick check – the last time I wrote a journal entry was September 2022… 9 months ago! I truly wish I could say in those 9 months, I wrote an amazing first draft that I am now editing away with the intention to query soon to hopefully have my book published… but that would be a HUGE lie. The excitement I have when opening up a fresh blog post knowing full well I will be diving into a writing update was long gone. I would back out, get too scared…

Book Review – Belladonna by Adalyn Grace
I want to apologize in advance if this review seems all over the place and incoherent at times… it’s just this book right here is one that has made my list for top books I thoroughly enjoyed this year thurs far. The chokehold this book had on me was unreal. I could not put it down but when I did, it was because I was too overwhelmed with blushing or gasping or accusing the different characters of murder! It had intrigue and most importantly, it had an immortal shadow being that was handsome and mysterious and oh-so-witty. Reading this was like the world had disappeared and I was encased in…

I hope the change of season has been kind to you all and with it comes a new sense of stride and motivation to continue with your passions or to restart and old hobby that brought you so much joy!

The urge to read this month has been strong. It could be because of all the…

Book Review – The Luminaires by Susan Dennard
It has taken me a while to write this book review, but not for a lack of trying! I have been a huge fan of Susan Dennard for a long while and after reading this book I just wanted to tell everyone about it! I was so obsessed that I started to look up what other people were saying – just to find more readers to gush about it with – and found that the story came when Susan was in a bit of a dark head space dealing with a lot of personal issues. This alone made me love of her more, as if it was possible, and I…
