I've looked forward to Helen's book since the moment I finished its prequel, I'll Come Back for You, and my hopes weren't disappointed! I think I read the whole thing in about six hours (a gal has to take snack breaks or it would have been less). Some time after the events of the first … Continue reading I’ll Conjure for You by Charish Reid
I fully expected to have a bigger roundup for you this week, but I hit a string of disappointing books, and I'm really not in the mood to talk about anything I dislike right now! Especially when there were two excellent books I did get to read in between (and to be fair, the others … Continue reading Reading Roundup #97: A Book With Good Bones
I threw myself into reading this week and was rewarded with a full shelf of good books, ranging from wholesome slice-of-life to magical horror.

Anyway, I love it, and since it deserves more than … Continue reading I’ll Come Back for You by Charish Reid

When I want comfort, familiarity, and faith that I'll find something I like, I usually reach for historical romance, murder mysteries, or 19th century novels by women authors.

As promised, we've got some more variety this week! I'm still working my way through the "Troubleshooters," but I also dipped my toe into fantasy and even horror. Plus a little historical Christmas romance for funsies. Once Upon a Duke by Erica Ridley: I'd heard good things about this one, but I'll be honest – … Continue reading Reading Roundup #5: It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like… Cressmouth?
