ARC Review Wonder Woman: Warbringer

Happy Book Birthday to the queen that is Leigh Bardugo! Wonder Woman: Warbringer is by far one of the best YA novels I've read. Bardugo does an incredible job with this Wonder Woman origin story. It's got action and adventure, the bonds of friendship, and twists you don't see coming. If this isn't on your most...

I've come to enjoy YA retellings, especially if they are for some of my favorite characters, and Girls Made of Snow and Glass did not disappoint.

Waiting on Wednesday: Hunting Prince Dracula

I cannot wait for this book! I received an ARC of Stalking Jack the Ripper last summer when my bookish bestie picked one up for me from a Barnes and Noble event. I loved it so much and I know I'm going to LOVE Hunting Prince Dracula. I think that the concepts of these books are so much...

I received an e-ARC of Spellbook of the Lost and Found by Moïra Fowley-Doyly from Penguin First to Read in exchange...

Charlie N. Holmberg Event Recap!

Charlie is one of our local authors here in the Salt Lake City area so of course I went down to support her! She is so quirky and fun with her red hair, 25 pairs of glasses, and a sense of humor that I wish I had! I enjoyed her event and can't wait to...

Our amazing Indie Bookshop, The King's English, asked us a couple months ago if we'd like to participate in a Skype discussion with Keely Hutton to talk about her debut novel Soldier Boy and we excitedly accepted!
