New Books in Bloom
This weekend was pretty productive when it came to reading. I'm working on some Indigenous fantasy as well as a few different longer fantasy books. I also managed to get some studying done and get ahead on reviews. Summary Strange Bedfellows is an engaging comic about the nature of reality and fantasy. The main conflict… Continue reading Exploring Fantasy vs Reality in ‘Strange Bedfellows’
I hope everyone’s week has gone well. I’ve not gotten a chance to read as much as I’d like but I plan to catch up this weekend. I’m finally getting back into the swing of things now that I’m out of school. I’m going on a trip out to Utah in September, so I’m preparing… Continue reading Mermaids and Magic: Atana Series Insights
I finally got hit by my annual summer reading slowdown. I've been trying to avoid it as much as possible. Trying to read every day from a least a couple of books. However, it came and got me anyway. To be fair, it wasn't entirely my fault. I had lots to do this month. So… Continue reading Books I Managed To Read Despite Setbacks
What is the most interesting fantasy you’ve read recently? I’ve read many good ones, but one of my favorites so far this year has been Rebecca Roanhorse’s Black Sun. The book is the first in the Between Earth and Sky trilogy. It is also the first Indigenous fantasy that I've read. I love the way… Continue reading Rebecca Roanhorse’s Black Sun
July came up on me very quickly. This month has proved pretty busy and that has limited my reading to an extent. I'm hoping to catch some of that up on the back end of July, though, because I'll have to stay in bed for a few days after surgery. My number one goal this… Continue reading July Reading Goals: Exploring Indigenous and Black Fantasy

Did you guys have a productive June when it came to reading?I read about my average of twelve to… Continue reading Monthly Review: June’s Best Reads and Future Goals
How was everyone's June? I can't believe it's already July. I feel like June went quick and slowly at the same time. I'll do a wrap-up in a few days. What I found most remarkable about June was the heat. I'm not ready for summer weather. Where I live, it was 105 yesterday! And I… Continue reading Exploring Atana and the Firebird: Book Review
Synopsis I don't know about you but I really enjoy folklore. Though I enjoy all types, I particularly enjoy Irish folklore. This folklore has a place in the book I just finished "Cry Out Loud" by Tara O'Conner. The books deals with families, mistreatment and the price of following tradition. "Cry Out Loud" follows teenager… Continue reading Tara O’Connor’s Thrilling New Release: ‘Cry Out Loud’
So I know I'm about a decade or more late to the party with this book. It's actually Ava Reid's fault I'm going back and reading the original triology, at least partly. Anyone around pop culture in the 2010s at least had some exposure to The Hunger Games franchise. And while I saw the first… Continue reading Why You Should Revisit The Hunger Games Trilogy Today
I hope everyone's April ended well. I finished up Magical Readathon. I got around twelve books done for the month. I'm glad I'm still on track for my one hundred and fifty book goal for the year. But the summer is always the period that that this goal falls apart. I have seasonal affective disorder.… Continue reading Top Mermaid Books to Read This May
