• Reading Log 2023

  Last year, I read an amazing 500 books so this year it was only reasonable that I reach a little more and try to get to 600. I didn’t. I got to 700 books!! And yes, maybe it’s considered “cheating” if you count those graphic novels and lower grade books that are easy to read…

• Thoughts on Chain of Thorns

  Well, I’m all caught up on The Shadowhunter Chronicles as I finished Chain of Thorns this week. So all that’s left is the final trilogy and the last book in The Eldest Curses trilogy. Woo-hoo.

• Ranking Royal Academy Rebels

  Calonita’s spin off/concurrent trilogy, Royal Academy Rebels brings readers back to the kingdom of Enchantsia. Only, it’s not the reformed villains who are in trouble. It’s the royals with their tiaras and ballgowns that bring the revolution. Actually, it’s one specific royal who doesn’t quite fit the box. Devin of the Nile couldn’t care less…
