Every year I set a goal on January 1st to read whatever number of books I can reasonably foresee being able to read given all the many hats I wear and the responsibilities I bear. I am excited to say I exceeded my goal of 30 books for 2022. I read a total of 43Continue reading “Final Reading Count for 2022!”

Book Review: A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas
A Court of Mist and Fury was a delightfully complex and carefully orchestrated chaos-of-a-sequel to A Court of Thorns and Roses. Feyre, no longer human faces some profound internal struggles with who she is and what comes next after her harrowing ordeal Under the Mountain.One thing I found particularly interesting was despite her apparent hatredContinue reading “Book Review: A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J.

Book Review: A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
After finishing the emotional rollercoaster that is the Throne of Glass series, being on a Sarah J. Maas high, I decided to dive into A Court of Thorns and Roses.In the Throne of Glass series, I absolutely loved Celaena/Aelin’s character, her swagger that covered a deep vulnerability made her so relatable. I loved Manon BlackbeakContinue reading “Book Review: A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas”
Book Review: Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas
One of my favorite experiences as a reader is when I get to the point in my book or series when all the characters and storylines converge into those epic scenes, that for me, are the cherry on top of a great piece of writing. Think, The Battle of Helm’s Deep, or better yet, theContinue reading “Book Review: Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas”
Book Review: Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas
Now that I’ve finished this book, it pains me to say that I did NOT want to read this when I first learned that Celaena aka Aelin Ashryver Whitethorn Galathynius was not in it. I really believed that I didn’t want to read Chaol’s point of view, especially given the way the previous book, EmpireContinue reading “Book Review: Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas”
Book Review: Empire of Storms by Sarah J Maas
One of my favorite things about being a voracious reader is finding an amazing series to get lost in. You know the type. You end up dreaming about the characters, the places, and even some of the events, and because you have become so immersed in the story because you have pictured it all soContinue reading “Book Review: Empire of Storms by Sarah J Maas”
Book Review: Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas
I am thoroughly enjoying this series and Queen of Shadows was full of epic moments, as predicted in my review of Heir of Fire.Maas has introduced some new and very intriguing characters in this story that I hope we continue to learn more about, and our familiar and well-loved characters face some harrowing and heartbreakingContinue reading “Book Review: Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas”
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”
