This book was released in October 2015, but the publisher, Booktrope, sent me a copy through NetGalley to review. I read a lot of paranormal romance/fantasy novels. The description for this book sounded intriguing, Continue reading “This Chick Read: Rising Shadows by Bridget Blackwood”
Snow Like Ashes is the debut novel by Sara Raasch in her YA fantasy trilogy.

It is told from 16 year old Meira’s perspective, and through her eyes Continue reading “This Chick Read: Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch”
This is my first novel and review for 2016. I am very partial to fantasy novels and this series is one of my favorites. However, it is a very intellectual fantasy series and sometimes borders on needing a Philosophy or Mathmatics major to completely grasp. Cast in Honor was no different, and for the first 100 pages I wondered what direction Ms. Sagara was leading me and could we please get there quicker. Continue reading “This Chick Read: Michelle Sagara’s Cast in Honor”
Over the Christmas holiday I needed to branch out and read a novel that didn’t have a man’s naked chest on the cover. I was in the middle of reading Kristen Callihan‘s Game on series, and was finding it really hard to put down. The men were fine, the women were strong and the sex was great. However, as much as I love the romance genre, I couldn’t bring myself to flaunt those naked male chests, as fabulous as they were, Continue reading “This Chick Read: Bewitched and Betrayed by Lisa Shearin”
I was reading my morning blog by Cleopatra Loves Books and she referenced a challenge by another blogger BookerTalk to post a brief note about the book you were reading as 2016 started. I will confess. I fell asleep early, but had just started reading Michelle Sagara’s Cast in Honor, which is book #11 in the Chronicles of Elantra series. I am also supposed to include a photo of myself reading the book, but since I’m reading it on my IPad, here is the artwork from the cover.
I challenge you all to also post a brief mention on your blog about what book you are reading as the New Year starts. Tweet about it. Let’s start a revolution! #readinto16. I’ll let you know my thoughts on this book in a few days.
Cheers, and Happy New Year!

Sweep in Peace is the second book in the Innkeeper series by Ilona Andrews and the synopsis below is from the website Ilona-Andrews.com.
Dina DeMille doesn’t run your typical Bed and Breakfast. Her inn is a living entity that defies laws of physics, her fluffy dog is secretly a monster, and the only paying guest is a former Galactic tyrant with a price on her head. But the inn needs guests to thrive, and guests have been scarce, so when an Arbitrator shows up at Dina’s door and asks her to host a peace summit between three warring species, she jumps on the chance. Continue reading “This Chick Read- Sweep in Peace by Ilona Andrews”
Mind Magic is book #12 in the World of the Lupi series, and if you haven’t read the others, you really need to read them in order because Eileen Wilks closely intertwines her characters, with storylines continuing from one book into another. Continue reading “This Chick Read: Eileen Wilks- Mind Magic”
Is it just me, or does Nora Roberts new novel Stars of Fortune: Book one of the Guardians Trilogy seem very similar to her Cousins O’Dwyer Trilogy? In Stars of Fortune, the six protagonists are strangers who “find” each other in Greece, where we find out, each of them are looking for the same ancient relic. This is, of course, a love story, Continue reading “This Chick Read: The Guardians Trilogy or Cousins O’Dwyer?”
