Mini Reviews: Tunnel of Bones, The Alchemist

My reading has been very scarce lately, but I'm trying to get back in the beat! I did end up spending a weekend reading Tunnel of Bones, which is pretty much the only thing I'm caught up in at the moment. No regrets, though! The other title took much longer, mostly because I wasn't so keen [...]

The Ghostly Mile || City of Ghosts Review

The Ghostly Mile || City of Ghosts Review

Initial Thoughts:  I've been reading this book to my voldies for months now, every Friday, and sometimes on half-days. And seriously, it was difficult to put down. I managed to stop myself from going ahead, but at least one of my voldies had no qualms about reading the entire book before I got to the [...]

Hell Hath No Fury || Vengeful Review

Hell Hath No Fury || Vengeful Review

Initial Thoughts: This must have been the longest time it took for me to read a Schwab book from cover to cover, but hot damn it was good to get back into Merit. Side and new main characters aside, it was still largely an Eli vs. Victor book and their confrontations are the absolute best. [...]

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 [...]

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.

2 cookies = Meh.

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
I CANNOT get over how gorgeous this @fairyloot edition is of Spice Road by Maiya Ibrahim! They've definitely knocked it out of the ballpark this month, for both the adult and YA boxes 🥰 #spiceroad #maiyaibrahim #fairyloot #yabox #special edition books #bookstagram
