Trope Five: Mentor-Apprentice Relationships

Did I just start a new feature? Yes. Will I keep up with it? Almost certainly not. But who cares. I've been wanting to do more recommendations post, or just to go back to a different format than just plain reviews. So I was watching a video where someone did the 25 Books Challenge that…

Dreamers, Hunters and Too Many Emotions: Call Down the Hawk by Maggie Stiefvater

I have been waiting for this book for three years. It's very surreal to be reviewing it right now, but it was even more surreal to read this. Scratch that, it was completely mesmerizing to hold this book, as an actual physical object because I have been waiting for it so long. If you have…

Get to Know Ya Book Tag

Monthly Favorites: March 2018

#TRC August Final Wrap Up: The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater Spoilery Discussion

Depending on where you began the story, it was about... So #TRCAugust finally comes to an end. I have to say, I absolutely loved revisiting the series. Back when The Raven King came out, I simply devoured it in two days and I felt like I read it too quickly. So this time, I took…

#TRCAugust Week Three Wrap Up: Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater Spoilery Discussion
