I wasn’t planning on doing a December Wrap-Up (because I’m planning on a yearly wrap-up this week, somehow it keeps not writing itself, idk it’s weird), but I realized I hadn’t done a Sunday Post since mid-November and there have been many happenings, so here we are I’m linking up

Would this post have been a better fit for Spooktober? Welp, yes, but I’m a mood reader and an even moodier reviewer so here we are. And not all these monster and creature books are scary. I did have another monster books posts back then, with 17 recommendations. The Jumbies by

I have no experience reviewing Romance, and very little reading it, but I loved these books, and they were just the thing I needed for 2020, so seemed a shame to not feature them on the blog. I have no clue what I’m doing so I left some of these

This is my “random noblewoman” Cosplay mistcloak from Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. I really wanted to cosplay a character from a fantasy book and this was really the obvious choice for something easily recognizable. For full artistic freedom, she lives sometime between era 1 and era 2, just so I could go with the kind
