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 [...]

Food and Fandom: Shades of Magic

It's also been a while since I've actually done a Food and Fandom post, hasn't it? Yeah, I've been real bad at keeping that going. (To be fair, the Mediterranean feast I had planned kind of went out the window when someone else broiled my lamb steaks, lol! Not that I minded too much...it was [...]

Review: A Gathering of Shadows by V.E. Schwab

Once again, I've had to push my TBR list aside in favor of reading a book I should NOT have read so soon after its publishing date. Especially when the confounded thing ends in a cliffhanger. Especially when I just got out of a massive book hangover, only to step into another one because OH. [...]

Food and Fandom: A Darker Shade of Parfait

Food and Fandom: A Darker Shade of Parfait

You'd think that a rainy Saturday would have helped me get on with my reading, but nope. For the past few days I've kind of been in a slump and have been reading at a turtle's pace lately. Probably slower, because I read like a turtle on a regular basis. Or maybe it's because I [...]

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!)

3 cookies = Book was good but I expected better.

Was this worth the wait?! DAMN RIGHT IT WAS. ACOTAR playing cards by @elithienart and everything from the packaging to the artwork and the cards themselves are 👩‍🍳 💋 💋 💋. Absolutely gorgeous. #acotar #playingcards #acotarfanart #elithienart
