Now this was a cool book - 4.5/5 🌟

Raise your hand if you love mythology 🖐️

If I were just rating Stephen King’s writing: 5/5 – but if I were just rating the excitement of the story/plot: 3/5. There was just something innately boring about this book, but in a totally enrapturing way.

5/5 🌟 The Jasad Heir is truly an excellent read that is not to be missed for YA fantasy readers.

There is so much sparkle going on with this cover, am obsessed 🤩

This is one series I'm doing an uncharacteristically good job of keeping up with. Sometimes miracles do happen.

I've been saving up this photo for my review of this, but dang nabbit I'm still reading the damn thing. So now I'll have to do another photo shoot *huff*

Medusa retelling alert 🤓

Shout out to @jc_flis for pulling off a miracle with this early Xmas present and not only getting me something I don't have, but something I'd never heard of! 😱

Up next on TBR: Many Things Under a Rock. What's next on yours?

Have you read this series? The Red Knight is book one and (in anticipation of liking it) I picked up book 3 when I found it on sale - just look at how lovely they match 😍

Can't resist a historical fiction novel with a woman walking away on the cover 💃

Just a sneaky addition to my mythology collection 🤭🤫

4🌟 - this was exactly the fantasy fix I was after!

A little shelfie for your Monday 🌟

Another recent haul to my nonfic enviromental science books 🤭 the way climate change impacts habitat loss and adaptation is endlessly fascinating to me (and often tragic!)

I started dipping in and out of this last weekend, and it's really witty 🤭

The edges on this book are so pretty! 🤩

Empire of Sand is such a great and underrated YA fantasy 😍

5🌟 - this was all the fun, all the sass, and all the angsty romance.
