Well, I knew after I had finished the second novella in this trilogy that I'd be getting to the third one sooner than I'd made it from book one to book two. Binti ended with a nice little wrap-up, making it easy to be satisfied and step away for a bit. But there was just… Continue reading The Night Masquerade (Binti #3)

The Nevernight Chronicle
Every time I pick up and start a new epic fantasy novel/series, it just feels like coming home. I have really spread my “reading wings” over the past years and found so many books that I have loved from so many different genres, truly. But my first love, my reader origin story, was always fantasy… Continue reading The Nevernight Chronicle
Wolf Hall
This book has sat on my shelf, unread, for years. It’s curious, because it’s so lauded a historical fiction of a time period that I love reading about, so I can’t figure out why I hadn’t picked it up before. But the recent publication (and Women’s Prize short-listing) of the final book in the trilogy,… Continue reading Wolf Hall
Gideon the Ninth
Well, I think we could all agree that I knew I’d be reading this one. Tagged as lesbian necromancers in space, there was really no more I needed to know. And all the awards it’s been nominated for since then really only reinforced what I already knew. In fact, this was in the stack of… Continue reading Gideon the Ninth
The Lost Queen
I have always, always, always been obsessed with the legend of King Arthur. I have read so many retellings of the story. (Mostly fictional – I love it, but I’m not a scholar. Haha.) But seriously, I read T.H. White’s The Once and Future King so many times growing up that the spine broke and… Continue reading The Lost Queen
His Dark Materials
Remember a few months ago when I posted about Harry Potter (finally)? I told a super cute story about how my husband and I started on January 1, 2019 and read a chapter out loud to each other before bed each night (ish - since he works 24 hour shifts, there were a lot of… Continue reading His Dark Materials
Black Leopard, Red Wolf
I have had every book that Marlon James has ever written on my TBR (and, for most of them, on my shelves) for years. I’ve heard his writing is amazing and the stories are intense and affecting, but for some reason this mood reader has just never been in the mood. And then BLRW was… Continue reading Black Leopard, Red Wolf
The Stone Sky
Here we are, the finale of this absolutely stunning, award-winning, post-apocalyptic trilogy. I started it over a year ago now, with The Fifth Season. And then read the second book, The Obelisk Gate just a month or two ago. This story is so wonderfully profound and evocative, it’s one that I wanted to speed through… Continue reading The Stone Sky
The Half-Drowned King
Alright, you know how sometimes your brain does weird things and gets you all confused? Well, that happened to me with this book so hard. When I first read a description of it, I was like, “Yes! This sounds amazing and I want to read it!” And then, somehow, I got this book and The… Continue reading The Half-Drowned King
Rich People Problems
Here we are – the finale to this glittering trilogy about people with too much money for their own good and all the drama that ensues. I can’t even say how much of a guilty pleasure ride these novels have been, but what I can say is that, if you are looking for a soap… Continue reading Rich People Problems
