Anticipated November Releases

There are some great books coming out this month! I realize I mostly read SF/F and YA, but I think both of those genres have such talent and scope. What books are you look forward to this month? Let me know in the comments!


1) Blood for Blood - Ryan Graudin
Release date: 1 November



Sequel to Wolf by Wolf, this book picks up right where the first left off. Set in an alternate history where Germany and Japan won WWII, Yael is a shapeshifter who entered a cross-continental race with the objective to kill Hitler. Since failing at that, she's on the run, but she's learned that there are others out there like her.


2) The Sun is Also a Star - Nicola Yoon
Release date: 1 November



Natasha is cynic and Daniel is a romantic; they meet one fateful day on the streets of New York City. Is it love at first sight? This one has gotten a LOT of hype, so I'm interested to see if it lives up to that.


3) Timekeeper - Tara Sim
Release date: 8 November



Set in an alternate Victorian world, clocks literally control time. Danny works as a clock repair man, trying to figure out how to save his father, who is trapped in time. This one has been praised by a few authors I like, and the premise sounds intriguing.


4) Heartless - Marissa Meyer
Release date: 8 November



A backstory about the Queen of Hearts. Long before she became the terror of Wonderland, Catherine was just a girl who wanted to own a bakery and fall in love. I loved Meyer's Lunar Chronicles and I'm excited to see her take on the Wonderland tale.


5) Extreme Makeover - Dan Wells
Release date: 15 November



Dan Wells is one of those authors that I will just automatically read what he publishes because I've loved the rest of his work. In this book, a beauty company accidentally creates a lotion that will overwrite your DNA. Chaos and hilarity ensue.


6) Arcanum Unbounded - Brandon Sanderson
Release date: 22 November



A bunch of Sanderson's short stories and novellas, some previously published and some in print for the first time. Sanderson is one of my favorite authors, and his Cosmere is fantastically huge and detailed.

Monthly Roundup - October 2016

Another month come and gone! I finished a total of eight books this month, bringing my total this year up to 80. I have two months to read 20 more books in order to reach my goal of 100 books this year! I think 10 a month is totally plausible ;) 1) Reawakened - Colleen Houck (3.5 stars) 2) Defy - Sara B. Larson (3 stars) 3) The Thousandth Floor - Katharine McGee (3 stars) 4) Like a River Glorious - Rae Carson (4 stars) 5) Fangirl - Rainbow Rowell (5 stars) 6) A Shadow Bright and Burning - Jessica Cluess (5 stars) 7) Replica - Lauren Oliver (3 stars) 8) The Female of the Species - Mindy McGinnis (5 stars) Save Save

Arcanum Unbounded

Arcanum Unbounded - Brandon Sanderson Synopsis A collection of Sanderson's "short" stories and novellas set in his Cosmere universe. Review It's no secret that Brandon Sanderson is one of my favorite authors. His writing is stupendous, his stories are incredible and his plot twists are mind-blowing. Rarely can I figure out exactly where the story is headed, but I am always exceptionally pleased when I get there! Sanderson isn't as known for his "short" stories. Probably because they aren't short. Two of them in this collection clock in around 40k words, which is approaching the line between a novella and a novel. A few of the stories ( The Emperor's Soul, Sixth of the Dusk, Shadows for Silence ) can be read with no knowledge of his other books, and would perhaps be a good introduction to his writing. Those ones you can get individually or are published in other anthologies. I myself had already read a few of the stories, but withi

Monthly Roundup: March 2017

Notice something different? I changed the layout of the blog! What do you think? There are a few kinks I'm still trying to work out, like now the sidebar is only visible from the menu button at the top left side of the page, but I'll figure it out ;) This month I read seven books! I'm now actually four books ahead of my goal for the year. I thought that with working, etc., I wouldn't have as much time to read, but I've also learned that you have to make time to read, which I do every night. It wasn't a *great* month for books, in terms of quality. There were a few books I had high expectations for and they didn't quite meet them, though I still enjoyed them! If you need a refresher for what the various star ratings mean, then you can check out the "Ratings Guide" at the top of the blog. Reviews are coming soon!
