January 1, 2021 – January 3, 2021 Oh to read again! I took a break for forever and a half because of NaNo and then because of my garbage book, but now I’ll slip back into happiness. And this book had a wonderful happy ending. I don’t know why I put on the spoiler alert- …

Come as You Are: The Surprising New Science that Will Transform Your Sex Life by Emily Nagoski
August 9, 2021 – August 20, 2021 I can not stress enough how important and life-changing this book was for me. I’m not talking about my sex life, I’m talking about how I relate to and view myself. I highly recommend it to anyone who has women’s anatomy or is currently in a sexual relationship …
Rhythm of War by Brandon Sanderson, The Stormlight Archive #4
December 15, 2020 – December 31, 2020 AAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wit can’t be harmed!!!!!! He CAN’T! And it isn’t just because of this book and his role in it, it has to do with every other book in the Cosmere that he is a part of! So many of them where he is just THERE, like a …

Instant Karma by Marissa Meyer
December 2, 2020 – December 2, 2020 Yeah. You read that right. One day. This exactly the perfect book I needed right now. I just finished writing the last book in the trilogy I’ve been working on for seven years, and it was exhausting figuring out the climax to a series where the void is …
The Tropic of Serpents by Marie Brennan, The Memoirs of Lady Trent #2
October 31, 2020 – November 22, 2020 That was fun and weirdly relevant. First the fun! Dragons! Everyone loves dragons but not as much as this girl! The naturalist need to understand the “WHY?!?!” rang more than true with me, it was the bases of my daydreams of being a middle or high school science …

The Case of the Missing Marquess by Nancy Springer, Enola Holmes #1
October 26, 2020 – October 31, 2020 That was a really fun book and one I’ll enjoy shoving in my kid’s faces when they hit middle school. I found out about these books from Netflix when they made a movie based on it. I’ve watched it four times now with the latest being with my …

The Immortal Heights by Sherry Thomas, The Elemental Trilogy #3
October 17, 2020 – October 18, 2020 I can’t tell you how good this trilogy has been for me and my complete confusion that it isn’t better known and blabbed about. The whole time I felt like I was marching toward my doom as much as Titus, scared stiff that he was going to turn …

The Perilous Sea by Sherry Thomas, The Elemental Trilogy #2
October 16, 2020 – October 17, 2020 I still can find nothing wrong with this book, and it was a split time/place story that just WORKED so perfectly I just want to swoon. If them falling all over themselves in love again didn’t do it for me. It reminded me of what he said in …

The Burning Sky by Sherry Thomas, The Elemental Trilogy #1
October 13, 2020 – October 16, 2020 That was wonderful and miserable at the same time. Wonderful because it was such a good book, miserable because I could sense how strongly that gap was between where my book is now to ever reaching where this book is. I know that sounds dumb, because I haven’t …

Monster by Frank E. Peretti
October 11, 2020 – October 13, 2020 I’ve only read a real thriller once or twice, but never one as supernatural as this. I wasn’t expecting to like it, but then I did. In the beginning I was freaking out that Reed was going to die and texted someone asking if he did, but they …
