Are you happy, Malin? I finally read this! (Also, thank you for my book.)

This book was soooooo not what I was expecting it to be. For some reason, I had it in my head that this was some sort of paranormal romance? And that it was sort of trashy? I have no idea where I got those ideas from, because they couldn’t be further from the truth. This book is epic fantasy, well-written, has intricate plotting, seriously intense worldbuilding . . . and it’s not your mom and pop’s epic fantasy, either. It’s sexy. Like, SEXY sexy. Sex […]

Book cover showing a woman dressed in semi-victorian garb, holding an axe and facing away from the viewer; she is looking out a large window and the word "chapelwood" in gothic font overlays the bottom of her skirt.

…only a fool would reject the comfort of routine for weeks of murder and monsters. Kindle location 2065 This sequel to Maplewood meets and, in some ways, exceeds its predecessor.

“I don’t want more sense!” I said loudly, beating against the silence of the room. “Not if sense means I’ll stop loving anyone. What is there besides people that’s worth holding on to?”

I really loved this book. It’s got magic and scary trees and romance and friendship and mad cow disease, pretty much all the things. It’s really very, very good. You can read my full review here.

Nimona.

September 25, 2015 by tillie Leave a Comment

Lord Blackheart is not your average villain and he certainly does not want a sidekick. Especially not some kid, following him around all day. Except, Nimona is not just a kid, she’s a shapeshifter who can take the form of any living thing, and she has great plans for Lord Blackheart’s villainy. Sure the great Lord Ballister Blackheart may have been kicked out of the academy, betrayed in training by his best friend Sir Goldenloin (this is not a typo, I repeat this is not […]

A Quick Must Read

September 21, 2015 by yesknopemaybe Leave a Comment

Definitely the cutest book I’ve read this year. I had a smile on my face throughout the entirety of it. Run, don’t walk, to your local library or bookstore to read it. I really think it’d be enjoyable to graphic novel newbies as well as readers more versed in the genre. Nimona joins up as the sidekick to Lord Ballister Blackheart, a villain with a vendetta against the kingdom’s current hero, Sir Ambrosius Goldenloin. Nimona is a complete joy to watch as she shapeshifts her […]
