Mini Reviews: Where the Crawdads Sing, An Arrow to the Moon

I have officially run out of books to do mini-reviews of. Oops. Blast my constant neurotic need to post something every week! Maybe I'll cut back. But if I do, this becomes a gateway and excuse to not write anything at all. Blast that too! I ended up watching the movie adaptation shortly after finishing [...]

Mini Reviews: I’m Glad My Mom Died, Monstress Vol. 7

Mini Reviews: I’m Glad My Mom Died, Monstress Vol. 7

I am eventually going back to full reviews, but I'm also trying to catch up to the fact that I've read too many books and somehow I also seem to want to cram as many book reviews as I can on a given week. Such is the dilemma. Overall great reads here! Can't say I [...]

Giving some audiobook love here! I swear I have some days where I will binge audiobooks, and other days where I won't. Also, I don't know why I'm surprised I'd like another Taylor Jenkins Reid book. This seems to be a given, considering I've loved every book I've read of hers so far. I think [...]

Mini Reviews: Night of Cake & Puppets, An Offer From a Gentleman

I think I need to take airplane flights more often. I got quite a bit of reading done in February because of this, and now I feel like I'm slacking in March. (I'm not...it just feels that way.) Night of Cake and Puppets was a companion novella to Laini Taylor's Daughter of Smoke and Bone [...]

Heart on a Platter || Electric Idol Review

Initial Thoughts I've been teetering between a 4.5 and 5 stars, but the fact of the matter is this book held my attention for long enough that I devoured it in the span of hours. I liked the idea of this Dark Olympus, and seeing the politics play out in Neon Gods was cool, but [...]

Mari

Mari-with-an-I prefers her fantasies drenched in oil and fried up in faerie, but when that’s not the case, she’ll read it anyway. She likes writing what she reads, and likes baking while she writes. She’s written a few things for anthologies, including an anthology that got translated into Czech (I know, right?! Eeeeee!), and if you haven’t read them yet, she urges you to do so! Who knows, there might be a few cookies waiting for you at the end of the read.

…Or not. (Blast her pet steampoctopus for eating them all!)

Reading Ratings (in Cookies)

5 cookies = Book was so deliciously awesome that I couldn't put it down or get it out of my mind for a while.

4 cookies = Book was great and certainly worth the read.

3 cookies = Book was good but I expected better.

2 cookies = Meh.

1 cookie = Why did I even bother?!
