...but probably not for the reason you think. I admit it. I've fallen prey to the pretty covers and sprayed edges that are so prevalent these days more than once. Almost always this winds up not working out in my favor, so I've largely taken sprayed edges and special editions (at least on books and… Continue reading I’ve got the ick…

Review - A Tempest of Tea by Hafsah Faizal 3.5 on the Bookter scale. PSA: Spoilers, big ones, abound, so read with caution. And I promise to keep my SJM mentions to a minimum. https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B09JMX14J7&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_RGXZQ2MZZWF0WER42A2W I was very much looking forward to this book, I will admit - vampires, plus I really enjoyed the Sands… Continue reading Here’s the tea…

Fourth Wing Read a long – Chapters 6-15

morwen1031

I am weak, and this is bad.... Don't judge me, but I am struggling with this big time. I'm at Chapter 15 and I'm at the point where the only way I can read this is to force myself to physically pick the book up. I have actually started reading other things at the same… Continue reading Fourth Wing Read a long – Chapters 6-15

Fourth Wing Read-along: Chapters 4-9

morwen1031

I feel like I'm in a hyperbolic oxygen chamber here... So now that I've gotten at least a hundred pages into this, here's how I know already that I'm not really going to like it - I am not shirking every adult and personal responsibility I have just to eke out more time to read… Continue reading Fourth Wing Read-along: Chapters 4-9

Fourth Wing Read-along

Chapter 2 Holy shit, so this school condones straight-up actual murder? Sounds like a group I'd really want to be a part of. How do they let someone so obviously mentally unstable (Jack) join this academy? Especially Violet just got done saying that a wing or a group or whatever is only as strong as… Continue reading Fourth Wing Read-along

It’s Okay To Not Like Something.

morwen1031

Please stop internalizing bad book reviews. I feel like this really goes without saying, but as a reader (as a consumer of any art at all), you do not have to like everything you read and it is okay to leave a bad review on your preferred reviewing platform saying as much. In the vast… Continue reading It’s Okay To Not Like Something.

Fourth Wing Read-along – Chapter 1

morwen1031

Normally I wouldn't comment after just one chapter, but I'm 20 pages in and already I can tell that this is ACOTAR with dragons. Let me be clear, I'm not looking for nor expecting sophistication with anything I read; I'm a big proponent and fan of lots of light, fluffy, brainless bathroom reads. I've read… Continue reading Fourth Wing Read-along – Chapter 1
