First things first: if it’s been a while since you’ve read The Girl With All The Gifts, you should probably re-read it or at least give it a skim. I ended up having to reference The Girl With All The Gifts a few times to be able to properly set… Read more »
I have to say, I’m really digging this series. Winter of the Gods is an excellent follow-up to The Immortals (reviewed here), the dark middle chapter of Jordanna Max Brodsky’s Olympus Bound trilogy. Brodsky takes the world she built in The Immortals and expands it beyond just the reach of the Olympian gods…. Read more »
It’s a sign of how hard up I am for good fantasy romance that I’m willing to overlook stuff that would normally make me abandon a romance novel. I really wanted to love A Promise of Fire, and I did like some aspects of it a lot, but there were some… Read more »

Back when I started this challenge in March, I expected to have a strong start and then trail off after a month or two. It seems to be a pattern with me – I’ll be really into a thing and then lose interest. Perhaps I would have less free time… Read more »
Whilst in the middle of this book, I woke up at 3 am to take care of the sort of business pregnant people take care of at 3 in the morning, and as I was going back to sleep, I found myself thinking, ‘I could grab my phone and read… Read more »
I’ve been following Lucy Knisley on Instagram for a while, but for some reason I hadn’t gotten around to picking up one of her books until now. I decided to start with French Milk, as it’s her first book and it’s a travel memoir about Paris. I love Paris, guys. I… Read more »
