Dragons of Ember City V02 The Midnight Roar! by Shane Richardson

by Leave a Comment

While browsing through some online reader copies I came across the second in the Dragons of Ember City book. I knew that most young series (this is for first to lower third grade) would probably need all books read in order to understand most things. Therefore, I asked my local library to locate a copy of Dragons of Ember City V01 Happy Spark Day!  O-M-G! This book has so much sugar it makes the sugar jar seem healthy! Okay, maybe not that much, but there […]

Get cozy, this is a long butt review!

After reading Luke & the Longest Night: A Wheel of the Year Book I found more Moon Dust Press titles to read. I am not pagan or an earth-centered person/witch, or into wicca, but I do find it interesting and wish to know more about the subjects. Therefore, my local library was kind enough to find four more titles for me to read. The first book the publisher released in 2020 was C is for Coven: A Witchcraft Alphabet Book by Andrea Stein. It is […]

I’m on a Reading Roll – Which Makes It Hard to Keep Up With Reviews

A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers

A Fatal Grace by Louise Penny

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

A Psalm for the Wild-Built and A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers I think I only have one Becky Chambers book left to read, and then I’ll have to wait for her to come back from the hiatus she’s currently on. I enjoyed both of the Monk and Robot books, though for some reason they don’t seem to be quite sticking with me the way the Wayfarers books did. Both novellas follow monk Dex and robot Mosscap and are mostly about their relationship […]

This isn’t an eighties sitcom. I can’t casually accept an orphan into my house for comic relief.

The Sunken Mall by K.D. Edwards

Scenes from Quarantine by K.D. Edwards

Scenes from the Holidays by K.D. Edwards

The Great Atlantean Battle Royalchemy by K.D. Edwards

by 2 Comments

These are a series of novellas meant to fill in gaps between the three books in the Tarot Sequence. I’m reviewing them because it gives me an excuse to share more epic quotes from my favorite new characters. The Sunken Mall I had started to pull on my magical sight when Ciaran spotted a convenience store pharmacy combo behind us called CVS. He pointed and said, “You will leave that store alone in particular. I called dibs. Anything with a -cet after it goes in […]

Based on the writer’s grandfather, Thomas Wazhashk is the watchman of the title as well as a farmer and the head of the tribal council of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa, located in North Dakota. The year is 1953 and the tribe is in serious trouble. Under the guise of “integrating” the tribe into American society, a Senator from Utah is pushing a bill that will terminate the reservation Thomas, his family, and his friends all live on. Thomas has been spending his night […]

Thank you! I’m so excited to add to my Murderbot Diaries collection and I get a new book to discover. Sure, I already have Artificial Condition as an ebook and an audiobook, but what if the internet disappears, or, more likely, I don’t have access to wifi and I need the wit and wisdom of SecUnit? I’ve heard of Ross McDonald, but haven’t read any of the classic mystery writer’s work. I’m looking forward to finding out more about “one of the most intricate plots […]
