Mini Reviews: Stuck with You, The Witches

Mini Reviews: Stuck with You, The Witches

Some more audiobook reviews here! First up is another Ali Hazelwood novella! I'm...actually hoping Hazelwood goes beyond the usual tropes that are filled to the brim in her novellas, because they're all kind of starting to sound the same. I still love how she represents women in STEM through these stories, but Stuck with You [...]

Marriage and Magic || A Deal with the Elf King Review

Marriage and Magic || A Deal with the Elf King Review

Initial Thoughts Another Hades and Persephone retelling? I don't think I could actually get tired of those just yet to be honest. That said, I was a bit lukewarm with this title. I got the book because the cover art was GORGEOUS and obviously had that H&P vibe mixed in with straight up fae-ish fantasy. [...]

Mini Reviews: Wires and Nerve Vol. 2, Restore Me

Again, more books I'd read sometime in June but figure I'll throw into the blog for the sake of completion! I meant to write a review of Stars Above but then forgot I finished Wires and Nerve Vol 2: Gone Rogue. While I will most likely write a fuller review of each of the stories [...]

The Maiden and the Guard || From Blood and Ash Review

The Maiden and the Guard || From Blood and Ash Review

Initial Thoughts So I probably enjoyed this much more than I thought I would, especially when I found out it was practically a vampire/werewolf book (which, when you put it THAT WAY, I'm not heavily opposed to). But it was a HIGH FANTASY ROMANCE. Other than Amanda Bouchet, I haven't read those in a while, [...]

Mini Reviews: Ignite Me, These Vicious Masks

Mini Reviews: Ignite Me, These Vicious Masks

Catching up to my "to review" list is almost as bad as trying to catch up to my TBR list. Okay, maybe not AS BAD, but it's gotten to the point where I have to do minis instead of full-on reviews (which I much prefer, because then I can rant a little longer). Then again, [...]

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?!

This new shelf is short on books... we're gonna have to fix that! 😈😈😈
Haven't actually made samporado myself, but not bad for a first timer! Dad often made this for breakfast in the mornings, so here's a little nostalgia for you. NOW I'm ready for Sandman-watching. #samporado #champorado #filipinobreakfast
