Child of Shivay by JR Cathers
Advance reader copies (ARCs) of Child of Shivay by JR Cathers were sent out in waves. Each wave went to a new round of applicants. Since my reading schedule for October was already very full, I tried to ignore the first few waves. However, a…

If the Dead Belong Here by Carson Faust
I can’t pinpoint exactly what it was that first drew me to apply for an advance reader copy (ARC) of If the Dead Belong Here by Carson Faust. It’s a great title and a gorgeous cover of course, but on the surface it looks to…

The Outlaw Witch of Sherwood by Brittany Hansen
I already knew I would be reading frantically through the month of October. I’d already received advance reader copies (ARCs) of a handful of books publishing this month. Still, when The Nerd Fam sent out emails looking for readers interested in The Outlaw Witch of…

Matisse at War by Christopher C. Gorham
Several months back, while I was visiting stores on the North of Boston Book Trail, I got to meet author Christopher C. Gorham. At the time, he was at Whitelam Books signing copies of his last book, The Confidante. I got to chat with him…

We Love You, Bunny by Mona Awad
Bunny by Mona Awad was one of my top-ten favorite reads of last year. I read it last September. When I saw that it was getting a sequel, I knew immediately that I needed to get my hands on it. I actually squealed when I…

A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid

When I submitted my application for an advance reader copy (ARC) of this book, I knew I already had two other ARCs on my schedule to read and review for their release within the next week. (The Call of Wind releases on Friday, August 29th…

Isle of Ember by Alycia E. Anderson
I have anxiously been awaiting the release of Isle of Ember since I read the first book of the series back in April. As soon as I’d finished the advance reader copy (ARC) of that one, I let the author know how much I’d loved…

The Call of Wind by K. R. House
I was very excited to be approved as an ARC (advance reader copy) reader for The Call of Wind by K. R. House. For a while now, I’ve been following her journey toward publication on TikTok. In addition to her videos about the process, she…

A House With Good Bones by T. Kingfisher
A House With Good Bones by T. Kingfisher had been sitting in my TBR pile for months. Books with reading deadlines kept pushing it further down my priority list, but I knew I had to get to it eventually. Before this one, I had never…

How to Walk by Thich Nhat Hanh
Because I need to read critically when reading ARCs (advance reader copies), I sometimes reach for lighter material after I’ve done a couple in a row. While I was on vacation, I came across a copy of How to Walk by Thich Nhat Hanh and…

Marked by Alyson Dawn
For a while now, I’ve been connected with Alyson Dawn on TikTok because we have a mutual love of books and stories. Every so often, I would see her post about a book she was working on writing. Everything she said about it piqued my…
