Suspicious Minds (Stranger Things Novels #1) by Gwenda Bond Review
Dianthaa no comments
I really should’ve been more careful when picking this book for media tie-in. I love Stranger Things, big fan, love the concept, think it’s very well done, etc. I really hate the feeling of dread that comes from knowing things aren’t gonna end well. I’ve got some anxiety issues, and

Dungeon Born by Dakota Krout Review

Dungeon Born by Dakota Krout is a litRPG/progression fantasy told from the perspective of the dungeon. That sentence alone was enough to sell me on it, and it turns out it’s a very fun enjoyable read. I’m not 100% sure about the narration, I love Vikas Adam’s positivity and energy,

Carnival Row: Tangle in the Dark by Stephanie K. Smith Review

I picked up Carnival Row: Tangle in the Dark for free, as an audible original in October. It’s a prequel story for the Amazon series Carnival Row. Reviewers on goodreads seem to agree it makes a lot more sense if you’ve seen the show. I haven’t, but I’m curious about

I really loved this one. I was pretty skeptical, but turns out I’m all here for goey living ships, and I was a huge fan of the interesting and very queer society. It has some flaws, especially in the plot department, but I actually liked some aspects that I saw

ahem … I began this three weeks ago, and got stuck on the last question, cause the only answer I could think of was the one that Keikii mentioned, and then got travelling and completely forgot. So this is from past Dia —– This tag was originally created by Jenn

I really enjoyed The Last Sun by K.D Edwards. My friends have been going on about it for months, so I was pretty sure I’d like it, but ohhh I loved it. It’s fun and funny (great banter, many highlights, wow) and fast and full of everything. It’s the first

Mid-Lich Crisis by Steve Thomas Review

It will be very hard to write this review without trying to be funny, because Steve Thomas’ witty style is very catchy and Darruk’s inner voice is exactly the kind of snark I like.  Mid-Lich Crisis is the story of Darruk Darkbringer, hero of legend, evil undead necromancer despot, lich

I got Ballad of the Beanstalk in exchange for an honest review through TBRindr.  It was short, and there were parts of it I really liked, but overall it had too many issues for me.  Ballad of the Beanstalk takes place before Jack and the Beanstalk, giving the background story

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
