Cozy fantasy and Sci-fi are my self care reads. I love a good magic system and dragons are always welcome. I like my Sci-fi LGBTQ+ positive. YA and Romance fill a sweet spot. And I never underestimate good children's fiction! (Learn more about this Cannonballer: Dome’Loki's Quick Questions interview.)

This book hijacked my TBR, no regrets

Shades of Magic: The Steel Prince - vol. 1 by V.E. Schwab (author), Andrea Olimpieri (artist)

by Leave a Comment

When I shared my review of Vengeful on FaceBook, a friend chimed in asking if I knew about Schwab’s graphic novel series.  I had not and was intrigued.  Then my favorite independent celebrated its grand reopening, after moving locations, so I treated myself and picked up The Steel Prince.  The cover is eye catching and it instantly grabbed my attention. At the time, I was behind in review writing and had intended to read Spinning Silver, by Naomi Novik, once the reviews were written.  After just […]

I keep writing titles for this post and they’re all crap, just read Pumpkinheads, you’ll thank me later

Pumpkinheads by Rainbow Rowell (author), Faith Erin Hicks (artist)

by 4 Comments

Fall is my favorite season.  I love pretty much everything about it and going to a pumpkin patch is high on my list of must do activities.  When I heard Rainbow Rowell and Faith Erin Hicks talking about Pumpkinheads at a comic convention, I knew that this book must be mine and it did not disappoint!  The pumpkin patch is just an endearing setting (albeit one I ardently wish I could visit and inspired by a real pumpkin patch Rowell visited growing up), what makes this […]

Lloyd Alexander was definitely a fan of cats

Time Cat: The Remarkable Journeys of Jason and Gareth by Lloyd Alexander

by 4 Comments

Growing up I adored Lloyd Alexander for the Prydain Chronicles and the Vesper Holly series.  Fun side note, I suggested Vesper as a name for our second daughter because of loving Vesper Holly and how well Eva Green carried it in Casino Royale but it was nixed by my SO. Time Cat floated around in my awareness but for some reason I never picked it up.  Perhaps because the copies in my library had an atrocious cover.  The one on the right would definitely have […]

Took me a bit to settle into but then I was entertained by this sequel

Vengeful by V.E. Schwab

by Leave a Comment

V.E. (Victoria) Schwab has become one of my favorite authors since I found her with the 2015 release of A Darker Shade of Magic. When the sequel came out, I expressed my love for the first book to the bookseller ringing me up, they asked if I had read Vicious yet, I had not.  Vicious was my introduction to Schwab outside of the DSoM series. Shortly thereafter I devoured her YA “Monsters of Verity” duology, and in the past year read the first in her middle […]

And so the Lightbringer saga comes to an end (spoiler free review on my thoughts of the series as a whole).

The Burning White: Book Five of the Lightbringer Series by Brent Weeks

by Leave a Comment

Several years ago, I asked my husband to find me a new author and surprise me with a book for my birthday.  Usually I give him a list of books, or at least authors, and he selects from there.  While I always get something I want, I’m never surprised.  Armed with the names of some of my favorite authors, he went to our local independent and asked for help from the excellent staff.  They suggested The Black Prism by Brent Weeks, first book in the Lightbringer […]

Katie O’Neill continues to write charming, inclusive, all ages books

The Tea Dragon Festival by Katie O'Neill

by 1 Comment

Katie O’Neill continues to write my favorite all ages books.  This is her second Tea Dragon book, the first was The Tea Dragon Society, which I reviewed for CBR10.  In the tea dragon world, society is made of several species; mundane humans, people with horns/hooves/antlers, animal people, and dragons.  There is a small amount of magic in the world, and it is all brought charmingly to life with O’Neill’s soft illustrations. Both books are wonderfully inclusive.  People come in a wide range of hues.  Relationships […]
