The Epilogue is the best part

The Dark Archive by Genevieve Cogman

September 11, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Bingo 21: Pandemic Since the purpose of this square is “whatever I want”, I figured I’d go with the latest (released a while ago) installment of one of my favorite ongoing series’. I like the Invisible Library series overall, although admittedly some installments have been stronger than others. The Dark Archive (#7) adds some good stuff to the overall story, but as a novel itself isn’t the strongest in the series by a good bit. I think the problems for me are that one of […]

House hunting and Lessons in Leadership for Vampires

Out of House and Home by Drew Hayes

July 24, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Bingo 7: Home This one was just kind of fortuitous; I wanted to read Fred the Vampire Accountant #7 which has just recently been published, and it just so happened to be perfect for this square, being titled Out of House and Home. It’s not just the title either, the book is actually about losing and finding both literal and metaphorical home. The book opens a little while after the final events of book 6 (a wedding); Fred and company are getting back to their […]

Dragons and Humans Go Together like…Oil and Water

Seraphina by Rachel Hartman

June 21, 2021 by wicherwill 1 Comment

Recommended by Ellesfena: https://everyday-offershub.com/2021/05/tess-of-the-road-ellesfena/ This makes for an interesting book to review. Yes, I think it’s a three star book even though I enjoyed it quite a bit and will definitely continue to read the second book in the duology (and then read the third book, which is in the same world but a different set of characters? Not entirely certain how they connect, and I don’t want to figure out because, ofc, spoilers). My main gripe is that I was very into the world […]

“We are the farting children of Heaven, blessed be our slippery viscera”

Tess of the Road by Rachel Hartman

May 17, 2021 by Ellesfena 10 Comments

Series: Tess of the Road is the first in a series, but it’s a companion series to Seraphina and Shadow Scale by Rachel Hartman. I first read Seraphina in March of 2018 and Shadow Scale in June of 2018 (and reread them both in 2020). I love these books, and I’ve been putting off reading Tess of the Road both to extend the pleasure of anticipation and also out of fear that it wouldn’t measure up. What I remembered about this series prior to reading […]
