Clockwork Boys by T. Kingfisher

The Wonder Engine by T. Kingfisher

September 11, 2026 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

Did I have time to binge listen to The Clocktaur Wars series? No. Did I do it anyway? Yep. I read Daggerbound and then I realized that I needed to refresh myself on Learned Edmund’s origin story. I had listened to Clockwork Boys and The Wonder Engine a couple of years ago while I was suffering from … [Read more]

The Magician of Tiger Castle by Louis Sachar

OK, so I am a huge Louis Sachar fan from Wayside School days, but my favorite book of his as a kid was Dogs Don't Tell Jokes. It was the funniest book I'd ever read (though I have a feeling one of the reasons I reread it as much as I did was because I could picture my middle school crush so clearly … [Read more]

Days of Miracle and Wonder by Ashley Kahn

Paul Simon's Graceland was released the same year I was born, so even though I've been listening to it and loving it for a long time, I was only partly aware of the history and the controversy surrounding it. Enter Ashley Kahn's Days of Miracle and Wonder Paul Simon and the Trial and Triumps of … [Read more]

Henry Hamlet's Heart by Rhiannon Wilde

September 11, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Mostly, I write this review of the novel Henry Hamlet's Heart by Rhiannon Wilde because I want to put it out there so a discussion can occur. First, a bit of history. I started this book ages ago as an online reader. I had trouble reading it, lost my place, just thought it was drawn out and too … [Read more]

The Princess Away Beyond the Mountains by Valeria Angela Pisi and Francesc Rovira

April's Journey by Annamaria Piccione, Luis Amavisca and Francesc Rovira

September 11, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I don’t know which came first for me to read, The Princess Away Beyond the Mountains by Valeria Angela Pisi and illustrated by Francesc Rovira (available) or April's Journey by Annamaria Piccione, Luis Amavisca, and Francesc Rovira (available). Whichever way it was (both read via online readers) … [Read more]

“You can be the most virtuous woman in the world and you’ll still carry the blame, not just for your desire but for everyone’s desire.”

Dear Monica Lewinsky by Julia Langbein

September 11, 2026 by faintingviolet Leave a Comment

Very quickly into reading this I knew that I was going to have a terrible time trying to describe what the heck this book is. I will do my best, because I know that coming across someone unpacking what the heck the standard blurb on this is talking about can greatly impact your taking a chance on it … [Read more]
