What is 3 months… forever and no time at all? I just finished The Summer War, a novella, by Naomi Novik. A quick read that packs a punch. Nobility, Knights, Magic, Middle children and choosing love. #fantasy #bookcovers Verdict: Delightful. #bookreview

Hello. I’m back! I finished A Curse Carved in Bone by Danielle L. Jensen. This is book 2 of The Saga of the Unfated. Book 1 is A Fate Inked in Blood. I enjoyed this duology, a #romantasy grounded in Norse mythology. #bookcovers #bookreview Verdit: Entertaining.

I read The Devils by Joe Abercrombie, fantasy with some romantic relationships, lesbian couple, straight couple but one is a monster. 🐺 Set in an alternative Ancient Europe with magic. A lost princess must reclaim her throne. The #bookcover isn’t special. Review: Would Recommend !
