This is actually a re-read for me as I read it long ago when smartphones were just a dream. This is an urban fantasy book by Canadian author Charles De Lint. There’s no relation to Derek De Lint but I was watching Poltergeist: The Legacy the first time I read this novel. While this is technically the 4th book in
Read moreThe Poet Empress
Wow just.. wow this book was amazing! I’m so glad it was recommended in the book group because I loved it. I actually ordered the illumicrate special edition which looks gorgeous and I’m just waiting for it to arrive. We start with someone that doesn’t know much about the world, and we see them grow and change to be a
Read moreWater Moon
This is a cosy read, sure there are some dark things happening, one might even say that parts of it are downright creepy but the overall vibe is cosy. If I’m honest I found the world more interesting the two main characters for most of the book. That being said, I found myself enjoying the ending immensely. I’m not sure
Read moreLittle Mushroom
This is a sci-fi BL novel and the first in a two book series. Now the books did come out under a different publisher before and I noticed it but was too busy to read it. Then the publisher went under and I feared I wouldn’t get the chance to read it. I was also worried because back then it
Read moreMistborn: Secret History
This is book is meant to be read after The Bands Of Mourning and definitely shouldn’t be read if you haven’t read the original Mistborn trilogy as there are huge spoilers for that series. Wow.. This book takes place right after the showdown between Kelsier and The Lord Ruler. From there we get some answers about things that happened in
Read moreQueen Of Lombard Street
I got this as my Book Of The Month (BOTM) subscription. Normally I would choose a SciFi/Fantasy book but something about this book grabbed my attention. I read the little sample provided on the website.. and it seemed like a good fit for me. I’m so glad I picked this historical fiction book because it was amazing! I’m used to
Read moreThe Poison Daughter
I got this from my August 2026 Book of the Month (BOTM) subscription box. It was a lot better than I thought it would be. There are trigger warnings for this book but the author points them out at the very beginning of the book so any sample you read will include those first and foremost. This is an older
Read moreShadows Of Self
This is book 2 of the Wax and Wayne series and technically book 5 of the Mistborn saga. It took me quite a while to finish this one as I had trouble getting started. It’s mostly because of the western vibe of the book. However once the Kandra came back into the picture.. well I started enjoying the book a
Read moreThe Missing Piece: 貌合神离
I started watching the drama on Viki and remembered that I had the book in my Kobo library. It’s even in English! In fact it was in the Kobo unlimited section for quite some time (and still is!) which makes it a free read for subscribers. Don’t worry I’ll post the link to the book as usual at the end
Read moreThe Alloy Of Law
This is the first book in the Wax and Wayne series. It takes place after the Mistborn trilogy by 300 years and can technically be considered the 4th Mistborn novel. While the original Mistborn trilogy had a heist crew overthrowing an evil tyrant, this one is a little more western meets Sherlock Holmes. There are still thefts but they aren’t
Read moreWind And Truth
This is the 5th book of the Stormlight Archive which began with The Way of Kings. Wow, this series just keeps improving with each book. Honestly this one was amazing and it’s getting harder to pick a favourite out of the series because I squealed just as much reading this one as I did reading Rhythm of War. In fact
Read moreWords Of Radiance
This is book 2 of the Stormlight Archive which began with The Way Of Kings. It’s one of many books in the Cosmere universe. This book is another slammer for me. I’m not sure why some people complain about the Sanderlanche as I find the book amazing from start to finish. I think it’s because I enjoy getting to know
Read moreThe Way Of Kings
The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson is the first book of the Stormlight Archive and one of many books in the Cosmere universe. This isn’t my first Sanderson book, I actually started my journey into the Cosmere with the novella The Emperor’s Soul. After that I was hooked, I went on to read the Misborn trilogy and Elanrtris. This
Read moreKeys To The Demon Prison
Wow the 5th and final book of the Fablehaven series. It’s been quite a journey with Kendra, Seth and Hugo. They all grew and changed as the books progressed. The books are technically for middle graders but honestly, anyone of any age could enjoy them just as much. We knew that the parents got kidnapped in the last book, having
Read moreGrip Of The Shadow Plague
This is the third book in the Fablehaven series so make sure you have read the other books first. This book takes a more serious tone than the previous ones. While some magical creatures have died in the earlier novels the human characters have been mostly untouched. As I always say, characters are always safe…until they’re not. In this book
Read moreWarbreaker
This is another great story in the Cosmere universe. It’s a standalone novel but that doesn’t make it any less wonderful to read. I loved Siri and Lightsong the most out of all the characters had something to keep you interested in them. Brandon Sanderson excels at making you care about the people and the worlds he creates. I found
Read moreThe Bride Wore Size 12
Ah the 5th and final book in the series featuring Heather Wells. It took a long time but we finally got the wedding the readers were waiting for. Well we’ve had many murders for Heather to solve but this murder actually takes place before classes at the school even take place which is a bit unfair. Not only does Heather
Read moreSize 12 And Ready To Rock
I’ve made it to the 4th book and I was surprised because I think I was 30% in before a body dropped. It just took awhile longer than the previous books. A lot happened to Heather in this one including learning about her own health with endometriosis and what it means for her future. I’m so happy that she finally
Read moreSize 14 Is Not Fat Either
This is the second book in the Heather Wells series by Meg Cabot. The series starts with Size 12 Is Not Fat so make sure to read that first. Poor Heather, I swear Nancy Drew and Jessica Fletcher never had quite this much trouble but then again they never had to work in Death Dorm. So not every book can
Read moreBlood Debt
We’ve come to the 5th and final book in this series Blood Debt! However this book is more of a transition book passing the torch to the next series where Tony gets to shine. It’s like a backdoor pilot episode tucked into your favourite TV show, the same way NCIS started in JAG and Wayward Sisters would have started in
Read moreBlood Pact
Well after the horror of third book Blood Lines, I was more than happy to move onto the 4th book Blood Pact. The books started with demons, went to werewolves, then mummies so it should be no surprise that in this book our heroes could come up against zombies. Well.. it’s not exactly zombies.. it’s more like a mix of
Read moreThe Well of Ascension
The Well of Ascension is the second book of the Mistborn Trilogy and takes place 1 year after the ending of the first book. It turns out that this book was originally where Brandon wanted to start, luckily for everyone he wrote Mistborn instead. The reason I say this is because it gave the reader more of a chance to
Read moreHeart of the Sun Warrior
This book take off a year after the events of the first book Daughter of the Moon Goddess. It seems like we have a Katniss vs. Snow situation going on. Xingyin has freed her mother, it’s seen as an act of defiance and rebellion by the Celestial Majesties. This gives Catching Fire vibes. Thankfully readers don’t have to wait too
Read moreDaughter of the Moon Goddess
I just finished reading Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan. It’s a good book, the beginning gives me a bit of Cinderella vibes. This is because our female protagonist comes from well off family and then through circumstances beyond her control she has to toil away for some horrible people until a prince rescues her. The prince
