Mini Reviews: The Fifth Season, Fire Keeper’s Daughter

I've been reading pretty hefty books lately, so I've gone through more audiobooks as a way to break away from the big reads. These were good listens, though! I can't believe I waited this long to read anything of Jemisin, because The Fifth Season was so good (and I'd heard her later books are even [...]

The Con of All Cons || The Lies of Locke Lamora Review

The Con of All Cons || The Lies of Locke Lamora Review

Initial Thoughts: I started this book in the middle of my rewatch of the entire White Collar series, which is pretty much all about con men with hearts of gold. Kind of like Locke and his Gentlemen Bastards. I ended this book after having watched another series dealing with grifters (WHAT IS THIS PATTERN?!), but [...]

Two Plus Four || Six Hooves Review

Two Plus Four || Six Hooves Review

It's weird setting up a review of a short story out of an entire anthology, but I thought it would be a good start to my going back and reviewing ARCs again. I suppose if I was going to start somewhere, epic fantasy was the way to go! Note: This review is of "Six Hooves," [...]

Mini Reviews: Saga, Volumes 8 and 9

I just got off the #24in48 Reading Challenge last weekend, so instead of scrambling to get books read for review, I find that I've an abundance of books to review! Which is a good thing, I suppose, because now I'm ahead of my Goodreads goal for the year. Which makes this post Saga-centric. If you don't know what [...]

Of Epic Fantasy Owl Crates and TBTBSantas

Of Epic Fantasy Owl Crates and TBTBSantas

I don't think I've posted a book haul-ish post on my blog in ages. Mostly because the last few books I've bought I'd done piece-meal. And honestly, for the most part, they were gifts. The last thing I'd actually bought at The Strand for myself was a copy of Dreamstrider by Lindsay Smith (which, if you've seen the [...]

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?!
