Book Review: Rule of Wolves by Leigh Bardugo (King of Scars Duology Book 2, Grishaverse Book 7)
“They were just the people who had shown up and managed to survive.But maybe that was the trick of it: to survive, to dare to stay alive, to forge your own hope when all hope had run out.”― Leigh Bardugo, Rule of Wolves It has been a great privilege to read all 7 of Bardugo’sContinue reading “Book Review: Rule of Wolves by Leigh Bardugo (King of Scars Duology Book 2, Grishaverse Book 7)”
New Poem
I can’t sleep, so here is a brand new poem that I just wrote: Who will speak for the voiceless?Who will comfort the ones left behind?Who will hold the hands of the hopeless?As the helpless and innocent die?

But where can one find accurate, reliable, and non-biased information? The truth can beContinue reading “Thoughtful Thursday: Book Bans are NOT the Answer!”
Book Review: Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo
Crooked Kingdom was AWESOME! It was full of all the best elements of storytelling and ended in a way that did all the storylines justice. It has twists and turns and was un-put-down-able. Even though there was always something going on, I never felt lost or confused which can sometimes happen with a novel thatContinue reading “Book Review: Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo”
Book Review: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
Leigh Bardugo does an awesome job painting the picture of life in the criminal underbelly of the Grishaverse. Unlike the Shadow & Bone Trilogy (which is a great read), this story focuses more on a colorful crew of miscreants who are trying to pull off the ultimate heist, which would allow them each the opportunityContinue reading “Book Review: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo”
