Not only are both of these romances, though I'd argue the romance in the first one was much weaker and it really should be women's fiction, but these two are also the only two NetGalley books I have that are publishing this month. How that happened, I have no idea, but I guess I'm just … Continue reading Book Reviews: The Banned Bookshop of Maggie Banks by Shauna Robinson + Ship Wrecked by Olivia Dade
These are two very different books, but both surprised me, and I enjoyed both. The first still eludes me a lot, but I loved the warm glow it planted in my chest and the combination of SFF elements was a lot of fun. The second was a delightful fantasy mystery featuring fairies and a human-like … Continue reading Book Reviews: ShegoraTH by Dima Tsyptsiura + A Pinch of Distrust by D.T. Bella
I must say neither of these books were my cup of tea, exactly. The first I received via NetGalley because I was intrigued by it's inspiration from Croatian mythology and history, but it felt like it threw in too many things and lacked the adult book feeling, leaving me thinking this was written for a … Continue reading Book Reviews: The City Beneath the Hidden Stars by Sonya Kudei + The Prophet Paradox by Danny Tuttle
It turns out these two books have far more in common than I thought when I requested them from NetGalley.

Turns out they both have magic, mystery, … Continue reading Book Reviews: In the Shadow Garden by Liz Parker + Spells for Forgetting by Adrienne Young

Since I read far faster than I write reviews, I've found myself working to pair up certain books. Sometimes they're in the same genre, sometimes they share a theme. Considering The Boy with the Bookstore is a romance about a couple getting together and All Dressed Up is a mystery about a couple trying to … Continue reading Book Reviews: The Boy with the Bookstore by Sarah Echavarre Smith + All Dressed Up by Jilly Gagnon

I'm definitely trying too hard by pairing these two together, but they both have to do with family, of sorts. One has a rather interesting, yet fascinatingly dysfunctional family while the other has a delightfully sweet found family story. But, where one is a romance with characters I had a hard time believing, the other … Continue reading Book Reviews: Thank You, Next by Andie J. Christopher + Other Birds by Sarah Addison Allen
