Thank you so much for my books! I’ve had these on my TBR since basically forever after I read the first one in the series, and now I’ll be able to read the next two in one go!
When the parts are better than the whole
Alchemy of Secrets by Stephanie Garber
I never got around to reading Caraval or Once Upon a Broken Heart – YA fantasy is such a saturated market that sometimes, popular novels just hit the point of, “meh, I’ll pass” for me. With the name, I was getting Carnivalé and The Night Circus knock off vibes so I just was never interested. This is Garber’s first adult novel and the December choice for one of my book clubs. I figured this might be a good time to check out the author with […]

This one […]
