The Unseelie King by Kathryn Ann KingsleyMy rating: 4 of 5 starsNote - I'll be reviewing the entire series here, just because I'm lazy.I'll start out by saying that I'm not one for dark romance. I believe I've abandoned every single one I've tried within pages (that terrible JT Geissinger one, previously reviewed, immediately comes… Continue reading Review: The Unseelie King

Review: The Curse Workers: White Cat; Red Glove; Black Heart
The Curse Workers: White Cat; Red Glove; Black Heartby Holly BlackMy rating: 3 of 5 starsThis is probably the first Holly Black book that I didn't fall in love with immediately. I did like it, but I didn't find it quite as engaging as the Folk of the Air (a masterpiece series), Coldest Girl in… Continue reading Review: The Curse Workers: White Cat; Red Glove; Black Heart
Review: The Contortionist
The Contortionist by Kathryn Ann Kingsley My rating: 4 of 5 stars I am slightly shocked that I liked this as much as I did.

Review: A Court of Mist and Fury
A Court of Mist and Furyby Sarah J. MaasMy rating: 2 of 5 starsI'm surprised I never reviewed this on my first go-around two years ago. In a way I'm glad, because I apparently gave it a five star rating, and I had written some gushy review I'd be feeling pretty damn embarrassed right now.This… Continue reading Review: A Court of Mist and Fury
ACOTAR – Full Highlights and Notes
Idk what anyone says, he's still the hottest high lord and I'd still let him eat me alive. There's really no point in putting up an ACOMAF highlight notebook without doing the same for ACOTAR, because you cannot look at both independently of each other and hope to understand why 1). Tamlin is deserving… Continue reading ACOTAR – Full Highlights and Notes
Review: House of Sky and Breath
House of Sky and Breathby Sarah J. MaasMy rating: 2 of 5 stars Where do I even start with this? There are three things you need to know about this book. First, it's fucking long. Second, it didn't need to be as long as it was. Third, it's absolutely batshit crazy. I was hopeful for… Continue reading Review: House of Sky and Breath
I Love to Hate It: Romance Novel Tropes
I'm a latecomer to the romance genre, having discovered somewhat later in life than most women that I didn't hate reading "mushy" stuff. My reticence was born mostly from shame, which is dumb, because in the grand pantheon of embarrassment, reading romance books is like the very bottom of the list.

Don’t worry, Tam Tam. I’m on your side. Below is the full export of all of my highlights and notes, collected during my recent critical re-read of ACOMAF. I tried my hardest to focus only on passages that showcased either the blatant revisionary approach SJM took to Tamlin, the blatant hypocrisy exhibited by both Feyre and… Continue reading ACOMAF Re-Read – Complete Notes, Quotes, and Criticisms
Excuses, Excuses (ACOMAF Re-read)
A victim of his creator Chapter 55 is probably the most well-known chapter in the entire series. I'm not going to go in to why, but while I will say that what I found kinda hot 3 years ago, I can barely stomach listening to/reading now. So while chapter 55 is infamous, I think… Continue reading Excuses, Excuses (ACOMAF Re-read)
Review: A Court of Silver Flames
A Court of Silver Flamesby Sarah J. MaasMy rating: 4 of 5 starsAh. It’s so good to be back in the Fae lands of Sarah J. Maas, where all the males are beautiful, ripped, and roar when they come, all the females are beautiful and delicate-yet-strong, all characters are over-powered to the point of it… Continue reading Review: A Court of Silver Flames
