Monstress Vol 1. by Marjorie M Liu

Monstress Vol 1. by Marjorie M Liu

I’ve never reviewed a graphic novel! I feel like this review should have two parts though….like…. The Story So the storyline in Monstress was exactly what you expect from the first of any story. There were info dumps, character introductions, and a general build of the world (with maps!). Normally info dumps annoy me in […]

Stop & Chat ~ My Break Up With YA ~

When I first decided to do this post I thought it would be like any other discussion. But after spending literal HOURS trying that route I think a better plan is to just write it like a letter (thanks Shelly!). To YA, I’ve read you almost exclusively for the past 6 years and I hate […]

Disaster Diaries: 01: ZOMBIES! by R. McGeddon

Disaster Diaries: 01: ZOMBIES! by R. McGeddon

Cole by Tijan

Cole by Tijan

First, I want to just squeal thank you to Rachael for unconsciously recommending this to me. I was casually stalking Rachael’s goodreads looking for something steamy but different to read when I stumbled across Cole. I’m going to be honest here. I have almost NO positive experience with mafia stories. I think I’ve read one […]

Good morning lovelies! Today I’m introducing what I hope will be a semi-regular game series to RSR. There are only so many reviews and interviews a person can do before they’re bored (and you know I have the attention span of a small child in toys r us) so I thought adding some bookish games […]

O’s Bookish Resolution

2017 is nearly here and that means it’s time for that age old tradition of making resolutions for the New Year. The only personal resolution I have is to be 100% in charge of my happiness. I don’t want anyone to have the power to make me feel or think anything negative about myself. So….yay […]

Review: Moonshadow by Thea Harrison

Review: Moonshadow by Thea Harrison

Two years ago I read Dragon Bound by Thea Harrison and instantly fell in love with it. I never finished the series because I’m terrible, but when I saw the blurb for her new book Moonshadow I immediately pre-ordered it! And it looks like that decision paid off! Moonshadow was SO FREAKING GOOD!!!! I think […]
