Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. Ahh, a very nice Halloween anthology series.

However, my son's oldest friend has been asking me to read this for several years and so I started it this … [Read more]

Gallant by V.E. Schwab

by Leave a Comment

This is by far my least favorite of Schwab's books, but I think that judgment has actually been coming for a while. I liked her last book (Addie LaRue) a lot, but it did lean pretty heavily into flowered language that really is not my preference. Even though it did that, I didn't really mind because … [Read more]
