Dear Dragon: A Pen Pal Tale by Josh Funk
Dear Dragon: A Pen Pal Tale is a book that is on sale. And if you wish to read, this book by Josh Funk, I say don’t be a punk and go forth and do so! You will be happy and look like a pro. Okay, that is the last rhyme I will do (or at least for a time). This picture book came onto my radar when I learned that Josh Funk was having the book Dear Unicorn (illustrated by Charles Santoso) published in […]
Athena: Goddess of Wisdom and War by Imogen and Isabel Greenberg
Imogen and Isabel Greenberg know Greek mythology. I am sure they know a lot of things, but we will focus on Greek Mythology and the Goddess of Wisdom and War: Athena. Or more accurately the title is, Athena: Goddess of Wisdom and War. This is the first in a stand-alone series. Athena’s grandmother, Gaia is book two, but you can read it first if you wish. And since I had read her story first, my opinion of Athena was a little jaded. I was expecting […]
The Short While by Jeremy Sorese
I do not remember when I first heard of The Short While by Jeremy Sorese, but I know I did not think it was going to be this odd, realistic, fantastical journey. I thought it was going to be a nice love story with ups and downs. It was going to be two gay men going through life and the trials gay men face. I misread the cover and thought they were camping in an odd cave. And it is that. And it is not […]
The Kraken's Sacrifice by Katee Robert
Catalina signs seven years of her life away without much thought – she’s considered a failure in her world anyway, and at least the money she will get in return will ease her way. What she doesn’t expect is to be drawn to Thane, the leader of the krakens. I’ve been reading Katee Robert’s new releases pretty religiously for the last year or so. At this point you have to expect, statistically speaking, that you won’t like every one, but I was still pretty disappointed […]
Good Neighbors by Stephanie Burgis
I’ve been a fan of Stephanie Burgis since Snowspelled. So much so that I’m a subscriber to her Patreon. So while I received all these stories as they came out there, I’m only now getting around to reading them. And just like I was expecting, they were the perfect cozy fantasy vibes for to get me out of my post-holiday blues! Good Neighbors (short story) “I bared my teeth up at him in a ferocious smile. “Of course,” I said sweetly, “I’d be delighted to […]
Wyldwood: Book One by Tava Baird
I confess, when I was offered the chance at a free copy of Tava Baird’s Wyldwood: Book One in exchange for a fair review, I may have rolled my eyes a bit at the description. I TAKE IT BACK, OKAY? I take it back. It is a beautiful book, obviously a true labor of love. Love of history, love of magic, love of romance, love of culture. My default comparison to Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander Saga was not at all a fair one. Understandable maybe, but […]
