Book Review: Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas
I was on such a high after reading Crown of Midnight (the book before this one) that I was really disappointed with Heir of Fire, at first. I read almost 20 chapters before the pace picked up enough to keep me interested, and then it was great! We meet some new and very exciting charactersContinue reading “Book Review: Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas”
Book Review: Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas
Wow, wow, wow. Occasionally, sequels can miss the mark, whether they’re a book or a film, but not this time. Crown of Midnight is a brilliant sequel to Throne of Glass. I could not put it down. In the moments I managed to separate myself from it, all I could think about was reading more.Continue reading “Book Review: Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas”
Book Review: Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
It has taken me a lot longer to decide to read this series than I would have liked. I started with the Throne of Glass novella collection, The Assassin’s Blade, in mid-May and have been devouring the following books since. Throne of Glass was an excellent series starter with exciting characters and masterful world-building. Celaena,Continue reading “Book Review: Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas”
Book Review: The Assassin’s Blade by Sarah J. Maas
I admit I am a bit late to the Sarah J. Maas fandom, but I do prefer not having to wait for the books in a series I love to release. I find the wait excruciating **cough** GRRM, Rothfuss, et al. **cough**I immediately fell in love with Maas’ writing style and The Assasin’s Blade wasContinue reading “Book Review: The Assassin’s Blade by Sarah J.

Book Review: Japanese History by History Brought Alive
I received a copy of this book from BookSirens.com. As a history enthusiast, I admittedly know very little about Japanese History. I hoped this book would give me a look into the basics of the rich culture and history of Japan and its people. I was not disappointed. History Brought Alive does a great jobContinue reading “Book Review: Japanese History by History Brought Alive”
Book Review: Way of the Stoic by Thomas Swain
I received a copy of Way of the Stoic by Thomas Swain from Booksirens.com. “The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.” – Marcus Aurelius Thomas Swain did an exceptional job at breaking down the basics of the ancient art of Stoicism. From a brief history to practical advice on howContinue reading “Book Review: Way of the Stoic by Thomas Swain”
Book Review: The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove by Christopher Moore
This book is not one of my “typical” reads but I have to say, I loved it. It’s a twisted tale of mental illness, crime (including but not limited to drug use), and several cases of insatiable sexual appetite brought on by the arrival of a prehistoric beast to a small town. This book hadContinue reading “Book Review: The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove by Christopher Moore”
Book Review: The Belle of Eden by Sofia B. Ashford
*Disclaimer* I read this book a while ago, and to my knowledge, it is the only book by this author, but as I set out on my own “Author’s Journey,” I want to make sure that I celebrate and draw attention to other creative geniuses along the way! I received a free copy of TheContinue reading “Book Review: The Belle of Eden by Sofia B. Ashford”
