Based On A True Story

I’d seen the cover of this book around on social media a lot but hadn’t really paid attention until someone said the magical phrase WERE-POMERANIAN. Of course I was immediately all in. I can not even begin to describe how […]

I thought I was going to write about Urban Fantasy for this post. Then I had an idea. I was going to talk about my love for sentient places. I opened up this draft post I made to remind myself […]

The Mass Dragoning of 1955 changed society. Suddenly a huge number of women were just gone. A lot of husbands and other nasty men died violently that day. And now, it just isn’t mentioned in polite society. “People are awfully […]

I picked this audiobook while scrolling through the available ones on my library’s app based purely off the title and the cover. I didn’t even fully read the description which was good. I liked going into this knowing nothing whatsoever […]

This description had me at love, magic, and waffles. Of course, I had to listen to it. Olivia is 28 and in a rut. She’s never left the small town near Buffalo NY where she grew up. She’s stayed in […]

Today’s Wyrd and Wonder prompt is Five Star Fantasy Reads.  I’m a notoriously hard grader when it comes to giving out 5 stars for a read.  I went back and looked at my Goodreads to see where I have given […]

I recently listened to Crowbones, the latest book from Anne Bishop in the world of The Others. While listening to it I started thinking about how much I loved the original series that started with Written in Red. I decided […]

I absolutely loved reading the series of books written by K.M. Shea that are set in the town of Magiford WI. In this world wizards, fae, vampires, and werewolves are all living openly among humans. Magiford is a hub of […]

Kindle Unlimited has figured me out. Recently it has been showing me Regency romances that feature dragons. How am I supposed to resist that? Miss Percy’s Pocket Guide to the Care and Feeding of British Dragons by Quenby Olson was […]

That summary of this book seems to have been specially designed to draw me in. Misbehaving old lady witches? – check A world where you get more powerful as you get older? – absolutely Cats? – check This is the […]

I was intrigued just by the title of this book when I saw it. I looked at the reviews to see if people thought it was any good. The first one I read was from an incensed person. They were […]

I adored this book! This is the cozy wicked witch origin story that you didn’t know you needed. It has farmer’s markets, a quaint small town, amazing banter, lots of cooking and wine, and an adorable spider who likes to […]

I heard about this book from a retweet of a tweet from the author. She said that one of the weirdest complaints that she gets about this book is that it was too political. She said she didn’t know what […]

I picked this book up because I enjoyed Labyrinth Lost by this author. That was a YA book and this is her first adult novel. I’m a huge fan of stories with magical houses and gardens. I was hooked as […]

Fantasy Books Set Around the Sea Archer’s Beach series This series include Carousel Tides, Carousel Sun, and Carousel Seas by Sharon Lee. “Carousel Tides pulls you into the chill foggy reality of peeling-paint sand-grit coastal Maine outside of tourist season […]

The books that I tend to read with shapeshifters have always been more Urban Fantasy than Paranormal Romance. I wouldn’t have had this book on my radar except that I saw it mentioned on Twitter. That tweet talked about a […]

Neverwhere was my Neil Gaiman gateway drug. However, for a lot of people it was the Sandman graphic series. I’ve tried to get into it before but it just didn’t work for me. People rave about it but it just […]

I became aware of this series because the sequel was on a list of sci-fi and fantasy books by Black authors coming out in the next few months. I wanted to get into this world before the next book came […]

I picked up this book knowing nothing about it based on my love for the author’s previous work. I think I like this one better than those. This is a deeply feminist story. In this world, all people might be […]

This book was so well done. You see so many books that have magical systems that are strictly gender-based. This book takes that idea and turns it on its head. In this world the men work with ghosts. They monitor […]
