The Magic Fish

While not prolifically popular, this one came highly recommended from the couple #bookstagram reviews I saw for it. Though, in typical fashion, I didn’t save the posts about it and now totally have no idea where the recs came from. So, I’m back to sending my thanks to the universe and hoping it finds its…

The Empress of Salt and Fortune

So, after reading the Binti trilogy and The Haunting of Tram Car 015, I think I realized that, while novellas are maybe not a favorite genre of mine, I will honestly love a novella that Tor.com publishes. Plus, this one was a Hugo Award nominee for best novella this past year so, I figured it…

Raybearer

There are SO many amazing-looking diverse YA fantasies coming out these days, so many new series are starting, and it's awesome! But also, I feel so behind in getting to them. I cannot keep up! And I'm also a little nervous about starting them all and then not following through on finishing. I have a weird…

Malice

I *think* the first person I saw post about this book was @manicfemme (though I know I later also saw it on @booksnblazers page). So, credit where it needs to be there. But also, I knew the moment I saw it that I wanted to read it. I freaking love a good fairy tale retelling,…

Elatsoe

The title is what originally drew me to this book. And then the cover, which is gorgeous...and I originally thought it was a girl wandering through snow drifts (which made me think of Little Red Riding Hood, for some reason) and actually is a girl walking with/through a crowd of ghost dogs. So I was way…

The Dragon Republic

I LOVED The Poppy War. One of my favorite adult fantasies that I’ve read in a while. I couldn’t wait for the second book to come out so I could see where the story went. And then, of course, I got lost in my TBR and the pub date came and went for The Dragon…

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

My bank account and library waitlists being what they are, it took me much longer than I had hoped to read this novel. I have loved everything I’ve ever read by Schwab, from Vicious/Vengeful to the Shades of Magic series (which I read even before starting this blog, so I can’t even link to reviews)…

The Haunting of Tram Car 015

I’d checked this one out of the library a few months ago and never got around to it before another hold got placed on it, so I had to bring it back. But then I saw that Clark is apparently coming out with a full novel set in this same world and it gave me…

Harrow the Ninth

Gideon the Ninth made my Top 10 Fav Books list from last year, so you know I bought Harrow the Ninth as soon as possible. And I'd like to extend a heartfelt thanks to Libro.fm for access to the ALC, so I could listen to it while following with the physical copy. This was a…

The House in the Cerulean Sea

For a hot second there, this book was everywhere. And the waitlist at the library for it is…intense. But I have to be honest, I officially added myself to that waitlist only after seeing @readingismagical and @tracycatherinereads rave about it. Took me awhile to get my hands on it, but here we are. And WHOA…
