Small Favors – Spoiler Free Review

Small Favors – Spoiler Free Review
Happy Sunday book friends! Last week I started and finished Small Favors with hardly any sleep in between. I don’t know what it is, but I could not stop reading. I had the same thing with this author’s other book, House of Salt and Sorrows. Obviously this is very positive! Small Favors was one of my most anticipated releases of this year and I seriously enjoyed it. It kind of gave me “The Village” vibes (not that I’ve even seen that movie), and it was so atmospheric. There are definitely some content warnings for this book though, so read those… View Post

Lore by Alexandra Bracken – Spoiler Free Review

Lore by Alexandra Bracken – Spoiler Free Review
Happy Saturday book friends! So recently I was thinking about my most anticipated releases for the year, and found out I had hardly read any. I know some are not out yet, but still. I felt bad lol. So I decided to finally do something about it and read some of my most anticipated books I already own. First up was Lore, which came out last January. I had been looking forward to this one because I have come to enjoy Greek mythology a lot, and I really enjoyed Bracken’s other books. This one is no exception, as I literally… View Post

Legacy of Ash – Spoiler Free Review

Legacy of Ash – Spoiler Free Review
Happy Wednesday book friends! Last Monday I finished reading Legacy of Ash, which I’m low key proud of. One of my goals this year is to read more adult literature, especially fantasy, but my single brain cells can’t always keep up. The funniest thing about me reading this book is that I was planning to pick up something light and quick. And instead I picked up a 700+ page epic fantasy… Brain cells aside, I ended up really enjoying Legacy of Ash! It’s a bit slow, but also a lot more political which I greatly enjoyed. It gave me Game… View Post

July 2021 Wrap Up – Challenge Made

July 2021 Wrap Up – Challenge Made
Happy August book friends! It’s so weird to me that it’s already August. In a little more than two weeks I’ll be back in the Netherlands for a whole year! It simultaneously feels longer and shorter than that. Weirdly enough though, I preferred going through lockdown in the U.S… Anyway, let’s talk about some books and other things. I read 7 books this month, which compared to my other months this year is not a whole lot, but certainly not bad either. I read a mix of old books and new-to-me books, and also switched genres a bit.july 2021 wrap… View Post
