Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer
Assistant to the Villain is another book that took a backseat on my TBR for far too long. It got pushed back again and again on my reading list in favor of upcoming releases. Clearing my November schedule of deadlines gave me the time to finally get to it. I’m very glad that I did.…

Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett
One of the reasons that I created No-Deadline-November for myself is because I wanted to catch up on my TBR pile. I get to read a lot of brand-new books before their release. It’s a lot of fun, but recently it’s meant that books that have been out longer have taken a backseat. It was…

Daughter of Stone by B.A. Pepper
I know I’ve said it many times, but I had a very full schedule of ARCs in October. The final one was Daughter of Stone, which published on the very last day of the month. I was drawn to it because it was described as having witchy vibes, deadly magical trials, and lore inspired by…

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.…

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 got the email letting me know I’d been accepted as…

A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid
No, this isn’t the review I said I was going to write next. The Author’s Guide to Murder didn’t pull me in the way I hoped it would and I didn’t find any of the main characters particularly likeable, so I moved on. My TBR physical pile presented quite a few options, but A Study…

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…

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 also makes a game of creating magic systems on the…
