The Feywild Job by C. L. Polk

Magic, Heists, Revenge

The Feywild Job by C. L. Polk

June 19, 2026 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I always find reading therapeutic, even if it’s just an escape into a story. Sometimes I read the perfect book at the perfect time. I’ve been going through a friend break-up and I picked up The Feywild Job at just the right moment for its magic to work on me. Saeldian and Kell have to come to terms … [Read more]

The author looks like someone who would write about a pickle

The Wise Pickle by Sarah Howden

June 19, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

One will never look at a pickle the same way again.  Or you won’t after reading The Wise Pickle by Sarah Howden and illustrated by Sabina Hahn. Due mid/later June 2026 I read this book via an online copy. First, be prepared to witness weirdness. I mean a talking pickle for starters is really … [Read more]

Matti was so likeable. You could cut him in half like fresh bread and he’d be warm all the way through.

Swordcrossed by Freya Marske

June 18, 2026 by carmelpie Leave a Comment

“Matti,” said Luca, breathless, “if there’s a man alive who would not be responding like this, who would not be going insane looking at you, with you doing that, then he’s either tragically committed to women or so lacking in taste that there’s no helping him at all. ― Freya Marske, … [Read more]

There really are a surprising number of murders for these young people to solve

The Fatal Unpleasantness at Netherfield by Claudia Gray

June 18, 2026 by Malin Leave a Comment

Thank you to NetGalley and Vintage for this ARC. This book is on sale now. Jonathan Darcy is getting tired of his parents nervously hovering around him and keeping him from doing anything more strenuous than sitting in front of a fire, reading. So when a letter arrives from his aunt Jane at … [Read more]

Girl Dinner by Olivie Blake

June 18, 2026 by Debcapsfan Leave a Comment

I got tired of waiting for a hold of this at the library so I bought a copy. It's very very pink. I am tempted to leave it in someone's free library. Girl Dinner's main conceit is on the cover with the fork and the drops of blood. Every member of The House, the most exclusive sorority that is never … [Read more]
