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 couple friends of mine jumped on the book right away.…

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 be outside of my usual genres and favored tropes. Perhaps…

The Serpent’s Bride by Kathryn Ann Kingsley
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 and Isle of Ember releases Tuesday, September 2nd.) Still, that…

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 it and told her to please sign me up for…

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 interest. When she put word out that it was ready…

Weekly Reading Recap: July 7, 2025
We’ve reached July 7, and that means we’ve made it through the first week of a new month! Summer is always far busier than I expect it to be, but I’m still getting some good reading done. I finished off the book I’d started last week then dove directly into its sequel. The latter will…

Weekly Reading Recap: June 30, 2025
It’s June 30, the last day of the month. Summer is fully underway and it has been hot. I’ve gotten to spend some time reading in the shade while my daughter splashes in her pool. I’ll admit there’s also been some hiding in the air conditioned spaces with books too. This week I read through…

We’ve already reached June 23: my birthday! My daughter is officially on her summer break and we’re getting into the swing of this season. Just yesterday I spent the day wandering Cape Cod and visiting shops on The Cape and Islands Book Store Trail. Over this past week, I managed to off the book I’d…
