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 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 Sherwood, I couldn’t resist applying. The description of the story…

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…

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: May 12, 2025
We have reached May 12. Another week has passed us by. This week, I read through an advance reader copy (ARC) of a book that will be coming out tomorrow. I then started a library book that’s been sitting on my shelf for a few weeks. It’s the first in a series, and I’ve actually…

Weekly Reading Recap: May 5, 2025
We’re starting the first full week of the new month! We’ve already reached May 5. This past week flew by for me, but I managed to finish two books and start a third. The first was an advance reader copy (ARC) of a book that will be coming out very soon. The second was a…

Reading Recap: Last Week of March
We’ve now finished the last week of March! Tomorrow, we’ll begin a brand new month. This week, I finished off the book I was halfway through. I then read through an advance reader copy (ARC) of an eBook that will be coming out next month. After that, I got started a library book that I’ve…

Reading Recap: Another Week of March
Another week of March is officially in the books! I got to another three titles this week. One was the third installment of the Fae Isles series I’ve been working on this month. The other two were pulled from my physical TBR pile. Both are titles that I’d really been looking forward to, and I’m…

This week brought us more March and another three books read. I got to the second of the four books of the Fae Isles series I’ll be reading this month. I then breezed through a short work from one of my favorite nonfiction writers. Finally, I topped that off with a wild romp in a…
