Chain of Gold, Last Hours Series
Cassandra Clare I have to put a disclaimer right off the bat saying that I am extremely biased when it comes to anything Cassandra Clare. I see her name on a book and I'm already predisposed to LOVE it. I have been reading her books for about 10 years now and I've grown up with … Continue reading Chain of Gold, Last Hours Series
Where I’ve Been and What I’ve Read in the Meantime.
Let me start by saying that what's going on in the world has brought me so many tears, self-awareness, and just a humbling sensation. Going through law school and trying to maintain any notion of sanity has been hard and I found myself lost. So I turned to so many different books and I read … Continue reading Where I’ve Been and What I’ve Read in the Meantime.
The Royal Secret by Lucinda Riley
Even before I got to the first chapter of the Royal Secret, Riley’s Author’s Note piqued my interest in this book. Originally this book was written in the late 1990s but was pulled from publication as it was seen to have an inappropriate plot line for the time. This plot line concerned a fictional Royal … Continue reading The Royal Secret by Lucinda Riley
What I’ve Read This Week
Starry Eyes by Jenn Bennet I couldn’t put down this cute, lighthearted and very fun novel. I found the plot very refreshing and unique in its own way.

The Wish Collector by Mia Sheridan
So…this book starts like a riddle and it’s intriguingly complicated. For me, it starts like the “Devil’s Advocate” movie. Jonah has to make a decision and deep down he knows it will be the wrong decision, but he is too cocky to refuse it. “You’re choosing a path here, Jonah. But he’d already chosen it. … Continue reading The Wish Collector by Mia Sheridan
Finale by Stephanie Garber
“Occasionally, there are minutes that get extra seconds. Moments so precious the universe stretches to make additional room for them, and this was one of them.” This series felt like one of those moments—like time stopped when I was reading it and I was back in the world of Caraval. Stephanie Garber really stepped … Continue reading Finale by Stephanie Garber
