The Charming Tales Once Upon a Rhyme; Happily Never After By Jack Heckel. You guys know by now that I am a fan of fairy tale re-imaginings. So when this series came across my radar thanks to Harper Voyager, I thought it would be right up my alley. And it was. The...
The Woodcutter by Kate Danley. This was an impulse buy during one of Amazon's holiday Kindle sales, and I'm so glad I got it. It's the story of The Woodcutter (as you might guess), a seemingly simple woodsman who despite the name does not actually chop wood for a...
Stonehill Downs by Sarah Remy. I've been on a bit of a non-fiction kick lately (thanks, book club) and let me just say that it was so good to get back to my regular fantasy wheelhouse. And this book in particular was a good step back into it. Stonehill Downs is the...

If you're a Game of Thrones/Song of Ice & Fire fan, you're in a bit of a tough spot right now. It's the break between TV seasons, and the next book in the series is nowhere in sight. If you're waiting for the next book in particular, you likely have more than enough...
I received a free copy of this book for review from Harper Voyager. This past weekend the boy indulged my fixation with dragons and took me to see How to Train Your Dragon 2. We both liked the first movie, so this wasn't too much of a hardship for him. 🙂 I thought...
Hidden (Dragonlands #1) by Megg Jensen. I received a free copy of this book for review from NetGalley. Oh, where to start with this one... How about the cover? You'll notice there's a dragon on it, and that the series is called Dragonlands, so it should be no surprise...
