Literature and London Part 1: A Darker Shade of London Magic

I've been meaning to write this post since I'd gotten back from vacation in April, and somehow time got away with me. Or, shall I say, I ran away from time due to other time-sensitive (hah!)...stuff. In any case, I wanted to do a more geeky, in-depth post about my very short time in London [...]

Review: A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

So this book. I don't even know where to start that will keep you safe from my abject admiration of A Darker Shade of Magic. And the squeefesting that will follow. And um. Yeah. Screw it, can I just say I love this book and be done with it already? I cannot. A DARKER SHADE [...]

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!)
