What is in my Physical To-Be-Read (TBR) List
I am a mood reader, but I’ve been trying hard to finish all of the books I own before buying any new ones. That being said, I do have approximately 10+ books to read that I’m attempting to balance with the books I read on my Kindle. Thankfully, several of these are available through Kindle Unlimited, allowing me to read them more quickly. While others I also have digital copies, I knew that was…

My Thoughts on Bonded Nightmare by E.M. Rinaldi
Disclaimer: I did receive this book early as an Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) but my thoughts remain my own. I found out about this book, Bonded Nightmare, on Threads from the author, E.M. Rinaldi. Every little sneak peak and artwork shared made me want to read this book especially since I really enjoyed A Familiar Magic duology by this author. So, I was excited when the author announced that there…

The Read-Cap: Week of March 23, 2024
Sharing everything that I managed to read in the last week and what I'm planning on reading in the next
This week I fully planned on different something different but after finishing A Touch of Chaos, I decided I didn’t want to jump into anything potentially complex. My week at work was long to say the least, so I needed something I could just turn my brain off to and vibe with. That’s how I ended up reading the Sleepy Hollow inspired duology by Karina Halle. They are short reads and just something…

My Thoughts on A Touch of Chaos (Hades x Persephone Saga, Book 7) by Scarlett St. Clair
Sharing my thoughts on the last book in the Hades/Persephone saga, A Touch of Chaos, by Scarlett St. Clair
A Touch of Chaos is the final installment of both the Hades and Persephone sagas by Scarlett St. Clair. Where all the previous books in this series were separated, this one is combined, so there are chapters from Hades, Persephone, Theseus, and Dionysus. Before I get into my review, I will just say that I honestly feel like this series would’ve been better if they had always been combined rather…

The Read-Cap: Week of March 16, 2024
Sharing the books that I read in the last week and my plans for the next week
This week was filled with new releases. I kind of forgot how many books came out in the last week and the fact that I pre-ordered them. I did not finish all the new releases I got, so I’ll be continuing them next week but these are the ones that I managed to read/start this week. If you are new to the Read-Cap this a weekly post I’m doing where I share what I’ve been reading in the last week and…

My Thoughts on The Prisoner's Throne (The Stolen Heir, Book 2) by Holly Black
Sharing my thoughts on the final book in the Stolen Heir duology, The Prisoner's Throne, by Holly Black
The Prisoner’s Throne is the final book of The Stolen Heir duology that follows Oak and Suren (Wren). This series is a spin-off of The Folk of the Air series (Cardan and Jude) that takes place eight years after the events of that series. I’ve been looking forward to seeing how this duology was going to play out since we know that Cardan and Jude always planned to pass the throne off to Oak when…

The Read-Cap: Week of March 9, 2024
Looking back on all the books I read/started this week and what I'm planning on reading next.
This week I finally finished reading The Scarlet Veil by Shelby Mahurin and the ARC of Across Torn Tides by Val E. Lane before starting The Prisoner’s Throne by Holly Black. I almost had all three completed too, and have a feeling I’ll technically have the third book finished before the week’s end but since this post goes live earlier I can’t exactly claim it as done just yet. If you are new to…

My Thoughts on Across Torn Tides (From Tormented Tides, Book 3) by Val E. Lane
Sharing my thoughts on Across Torn Tides by Val E. Lane, the final book in the From Tormented Tides series.
Across Torn Tides is the final book in the From Tormented Tides series by Val E. Lane. If you haven’t checked out this series or haven’t heard of it, and are a fan of Pirates of the Caribbean, Percy Jackson, The Little Mermaid, and Outer Banks you will love this series. You have ancient magic in a modern world that combines pirate adventures, enchantment, ancient lore, and romance together…

The Read-Cap: Week of March 2, 2024
Going over what books I've been reading in the last week and what I'm planning on reading next.
This week started out strong, then I ran out of energy to read at night so I didn’t read a whole lot. So, don’t let the count of books throw you off. Only one book I fully read, another I read a 20 page epilogue (previously read the full book when it was a web serial), and the others I’ve only read a little bit. If you are new to the Read-Cap this a weekly post I’m doing where I share what I’ve…

Life Lately: End of February 2024
Looking back at how the rest of the month of February went for me.
Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com I have decided to switch this post to be a monthly one that will come out at the end of each month. I think that will just be easier to maintain going forward without feeling like I’m missing out on a week. Now, not a lot has changed since the last life lately, but I figured I would wrap up the rest of the month before switching to the new schedule for these…

My Thoughts on Behind The Broken (War of Hearts: Behind Darkness Duet, Book 1) by Chloe C. Peñaranda
Sharing my thoughts on Behind the Darkness by Chloe C. Peñaranda and comparing it to the Cat and Mouse duet by H.D. Carlton
I don’t typically read contemporary romance but there are a few exceptions to that rule when it comes to dark romance or crime noir. When I heard that Chloe C. Peñaranda was coming out with Behind the Darkness, the first book in the Behind Darkness Duet as part of a new series called War of Hearts, I wanted to give it a chance as I loved her book The Stars are Dying from the Nytefall Trilogy.…

The Read-Cap: Week of February 24, 2024
Discussing the books that I read in the last week and what I'm planning on reading next.
This week I decided to read only on my Kindle and start with a book that I got when it’s name was everywhere on TikTok, then never got around to reading. And honestly, I forgot what the book was even about going into it. Then the rest of the week, I read some new releases. If you are new to the Read-Cap this a weekly post I’m doing where I share what I’ve been reading in the last week and what I…

The Read-Cap: Week of February 17, 2024
Discussing everything that I read in the last week and everything I'm planning on reading in the next.
This week was a mixture of reading quick reads (books that were around 300 pages) after I finished House of Flame and Shadow (Crescent City, Book 3) by Sarah J. Maas and starting the final book of the Foul Lady Fortune duology by Chloe Gong. I needed a breather between the two books before I went back to the duology. If you are new to the Read-Cap this a weekly post I’m doing where I share what…

In the original play, everyone ends up married. Oliver to Celia, Rosalind to Orlando, and Phoebe to Silvius (changed to Silas in this series). As I mentioned in my previous…

Life Lately: January 7th to February 11th, 2024
Discussing what's been going on in my life lately
Alright, I finally finished revising my book or at least from the feedback I got from my developmental editor and the first beta reader. So, next step is to attempt to get an agent to traditional publish my book. And if that doesn’t pan out since they only take so many books a year, I’m going to save up for another professional editor to clean up what I’ve adjusted. But with that step being done,…

The Read-Cap: Week of February 10, 2024
Discussing the last week I've what I've been reading and what I plan on reading next.
The better part of the week was spent reading House of Flame and Shadow, the third book in the Crescent City series, by Sarah J. Maas and then I just really wanted ‘lighter’ books before I jumped back into finishing the Foul Lady Fortune duology by Chloe Gong. If you are new to the Read-Cap this a weekly post I’m doing where I share what I’ve been reading in the last week and what I plan on…
