Is anyone watching The Last of Us? I just need to know others are going through the same thing right now.


Posted Last Week



 Debut Books I Loved - A list of some of my favorite debut books.

Shards of Earth by Adrian Tchaikovsky

Review | Shards of Earth by Adrian Tchaikovsky ⭐⭐⭐★★ - I'm not sold on my rating here. It might be higher, but you can read my review for my thoughts!


Finished Reading


Come Tumbling Down by Seanan McGuire Shards of Earth by Adrian Tchaikovsky

Come Tumbling Down by Seanan McGuire ⭐⭐⭐★★ - This was a reread, and it's still forgettable.

Shards of Earth by Adrian Tchaikovsky ⭐⭐⭐★★ - See my review above! I enjoyed this - maybe more than the 3 stars would lead you to believe.


Currently Reading


The Helm of Midnight by Marina Lostetter The Scrivener’s Bones by Brandon Sanderson

The Helm of Midnight by Marina Lostetter - I'm loving this so far! It's a horror with a magic system - I'm a happy reader!

The Scrivener’s Bones by Brandon Sanderson - These Evil Librarian books are meta and a lot of fun.


Added to the TBR


The Writing Retreat by ulia Bartz The Helm of Midnight by Marina Lostetter The Cage of Dark Hours by Marina Lostetter

The Writing Retreat by Julia Bartz - I mentioned this recently on my list of most anticipated debut novels. I'm looking forward to reading it.

The Helm of Midnight and The Cage of Dark Hours by Marina Lostetter - Thank you so much to the publisher for offering me these review copies. Horror in a fantasy world? Serial killers and magic systems? PERFECT.

Our Share of Night by Mariana Enríquez, Megan McDowell (Translator)

Our Share of Night by Mariana Enríquez, Megan McDowell (Translator) - This is my most anticipated book of the year. We are starting up a buddy read on the Horror Spotlight discord if you want to join in. This is an epic, sweeping horror, and I couldn't be more excited for it.

Currently Watching

  1. The cover on Our Share of Night is very intriguing.

    I often have trouble with my ratings. I like 1/2 stars, but I save all my reviews on Goodreads which doesn't offer that option. So three stars? Or four? Three is too low, and four too high...so what do I choose?
