Someone, please explain how I completely missed the fact that How The King of Elfhame Learned To Hate Stories is illustrated?! Sure, the cover is gorgeous, but the inside is as well?! *squeals* I read this beautiful little book in just a morning and was utterly delighted by its stories and illustrations. Holly Black created such a wonderful addition to the Folk of Air series, I’m so, so sad it’s really over now… Here’s my review!

The Midnight Bargain is my first ARC review of the year, and I couldn’t have done it at a better time! Oh, my goodness! It reminded me of the Bridgerton Netflix series so much, and I loved it. I had just finished watching the series, so I was totally into the whole Regency-era setting. It was perfect! Courting, balls, fashion, and romance… And magic! Here’s my review.

Blood & Honey was one of my most anticipated sequels of 2020. I was so excited when I finally found the time to listen to the audiobook this year! Unfortunately, it let me down – big time. As the title states, it’s the perfect example of a filler book; one smacked right in the middle of a trilogy. It was enjoyable enough to listen from start to finish, but when thinking long and hard about it for this review, I found only a few positive things to say. Here’s my two-star review.

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue has been on my TBR for as long as I can remember. It had no cover or description, but Victoria Schwab’s tweets about it where more than enough to fuel my love of this story. And obviously, it’s a Schwab book. As if I’d ever skip one!? Hell no! Anyway, Addie LaRue defied all my expectations. It was everything I hoped for and so, so much more. Spoiler alert; this is a 5-star review – obviously! 

I’m so excited to share my review of Finale with you today! To my absolute horror, it turns out I read the book in July 2019 and then never published this review. I need to right this wrong, you guys! I need to be 100% honest here that I don’t remember a whole lot of Finale anymore, but I had the review written and I’m happy with it, so that’s why I’m still sharing it today. This series holds such a special place in my heart, I can’t believe I’ve finished it! Anyway, let’s get into the review.

If I had to name one book that has stalked me all over the internet, it’s Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin. It literally popped up everywhere. For the longest time, I ignored it. I just wasn’t interest enough to pick up a copy. My Audible credits started piling up, and I decided to give it a try. And oh, my goodness. I’m so glad I did! I wasn’t planning on reviewing my audiobooks this year, but I’m bursting with excitement over gorgeous debut and I need to share!
