Hi!

 Welcome to my blog! I hope this can become a cozy place to connect over shared hobbies and interests, as well as a way to discover treasures in the literary world.  I’m primarily a fiction reader, and adore fantasy. My romance preferences are swoony more than steamy or spicy, so most of my recommendations are going to be closed door and or minimal descriptiveness.  I’m planning on writing around 3 book reviews a month, and posting fan art I find every now and then. Thanks for being here!  Gen

Gallant by V.E. Schwab

  Victoria Schwab is an author whose work I became acquainted with just this year. Gallant is the book that introduced me to her, and I fell in love at first read.  Gallant is a YA horror novel, and has a wonderfully gloomy atmosphere. While melancholy and grim, the book also explores finding where you belong, accepting your uniqueness, and love overcoming darkness. One of my favorite aspects of the story was that the protagonist, Olivia Prior, was mute, and it opened a window into the experience of navigating that communication barrier while attempting to survive deadly peril! This was the perfect blend of creepy and cozy for me. If you’re looking to dip your toes into the horror genre I highly recommend!  Gallant gets 5/5 stars for me.  Do you like horror? Have you read Gallant? Let me know in the comments!  Happy reading!  Gen :)

The Queen’s Thief Meghan Whalen Turner

Welcome to one of my top favorite series of all time.   My word. How do I begin to describe this spectacular series?  Immersive world building like Brandon Sanderson, deep and beautiful themes like JRR  Tolkien, hilarious dialogue like Diana Wynne Jones, and good pacing like Lloyd Alexander, all while being its own unique story.  The atmosphere feels similar to Ancient Greece and as the series progresses the rich culture becomes more fleshed out through myths, religion, and plays.  While each book is enjoyable in its own right, the entire series plot is stunning and well worth reading through to the end.  The audiobooks read by Steve West are an alternate way to imbibe them and he does an awesome job on the voices.  Prepare to be flummoxed by the protagonist, to be exasperated, amused, impressed, and moved, over and over.  If you haven’t read this series, consider this your sign to start! 10/10 recommend.  Happy reading!  Gen :)
