4 out of 5 Rolling Stars This is the story of an ill-fated vessel hired by the Imagine Network to go out to the Mariana Trench and search for Mermaids. Be careful what you wish for, kids. And that’s kinda all there is to the story. There is still a good amount of tension … More Review: Rolling in the Deep by Mira Grant
What a shit photo. Sigh. The prompts for day 3 & 4 are Writing Tools and Current Book, respectively. The main writing tool I use is Scrivener. I frickin’ love this program. When my computer (RIP) blew up, the old computer I was using couldn’t run it and I felt like I’d lost a couple … More InstaWriMo Day 3 & 4
3 out of 5 Kinda-Flickering Stars Another one I desperately wanted to be in love with. It ended up just ok. I know, I know, it’s not the Night Circus! But I’m always looking for another Night Circus! Sorina lives in Gomorrah, the traveling, burning city that is more festival than city. She runs the … More Review: Daughter of the Burning City by Amanda Foody
Day 2 of InstaWrimo is Shelfie. This is not an honest photo of my shelves. This is months and months old. This is a lie. This is the Bookstagram equivalent of one of those Instagram models sucking in their stomachs while wearing gym gear. I am too ashamed to show what my shelves actually look … More InstaWriMo Day 2

4 out of 5 painted stars I picked this up because I thought it was going to be a spooky, gothic mystery type story. It’s not, despite having some hallmarks of a gothic story. Though it wasn’t what I thought or expected, I still really enjoyed it. This is the story of Anna Palmer, put … More Review: The Painted Bridge by Wendy Wallace
4 out of 5 Neighborly Stars Good God in heaven what a mind fornication. I can’t remember being so unsettled by a novel- and I hate that I can’t talk about most of it because I don’t want to spoil it. It doesn’t feel like a horror, not at first. Then it takes a few … More Review: The House Next Door by Anne Rivers Siddons
3 out of 5 Broken Stars This is the 3rd book in the Diviners series It kills me to rate this 3 stars because the first two are so amazing, but this was a rushed, clumsy mishmash, lacking much of the beautiful writing that set the first two apart. The other books felt like they … More Review: Before the Devil Breaks You by Libba Bray
I’ve written about three of these and haven’t posted any of them. Basically, I never meant for the blog to go fallow but …. it did. I had a pretty horrendous 2018. I’m just glad it’s over. Even though sometimes it doesn’t feel like it is. The bad part was the job I got in … More Yeah, it’s been awhile
4 out of 5 Towering Stars This is the 6th book in the Throne of Glass series. The question is: should you read this as part of the Throne of Glass series or skip it? READ IT YOU HAVE TO READ IT THERE IS SO MUCH INFORMATION! There are also some characters from the novellas … More Review: Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas
