For the first review of 2021, I thought I’d start with the first book I finished in 2021: The Wolf and the Water by Josie Jaffrey. Having read and loved May Day by the same author, I was thrilled to receive an arc of this book. Where May Day was an urban fantasy, The Wolf… Continue reading The Wolf and the Water Review

City of Bronze, City of Silver Review
I know it has been a month since my last post so thank you for your patience- applying to university is stressful and quite energy consuming.

A Love Letter to Rick Riordan’s Books
