TBR Tuesday #20

Hello reader/s! I hope you’re well! For a while now, I’ve been writing a weekly or bi-weekly post about books that are on my TBR. TBR, if you don’t know is the abbreviation for To Be Read. My goal here is to shed some light on books that I’ve otherwise forgotten about. These books could be books I’ve been meaning to read from the library, or books that have been collecting dust on my shelves at home. My goal though is to say a little about the book and also give a little reasoning of why I want to read them. In hopes of reading them sooner than later. 

Both of the books that I’m talking about today are Young Adult Fantasy books. I bought these books at the same time, so for a while now, when I think of one, I’m reminded of the other. They’re also both first books in their respective series. However, one book deals with Ghosts, and the other story deals with Shapeshifting.

The first book I’m talking about is Hereafter by Tara Hudson. Continue reading

Library Reads: I’m a Library Lover, so these posts are where I document the books I’ve borrowed from libraries. I’ll tell you a little bit about what I expect from the book, or the author’s writings. Whether what I say is a sentence long, or a few sentence’s. From doing these posts, I hope to spread a little of my love for libraries, while also informing you of books that you may or may not have known of! Continue reading

Death Sworn by Leah Cypess | Book Review #138

When a young sorceress is exiled to teach magic to a clan of assassins, she will find that 22535449secrets can be even deadlier than swords. Teen Vogue proclaimed, “It’s impossible not to fall deep into the dark yet alluring world of sorcery and secret assassins.” A dangerous and eerie fantasy about murder, shocking discoveries, and fiery star-crossed romance that readers of Cinda Williams Chima and Robin LaFevers won’t be able to put down.

Ileni is losing her magic. And that means she’s losing everything: her position as the rising star of her people, her purpose in life, and even the young man she loves. Sent to the assassins’ cave hidden deep within the mountains, she expects no one will ever hear from her again. The last two sorcerers sent died within weeks of each other. Accidents? Or something more sinister? As Ileni navigates the dangers—both natural and human—of the caves, she’ll discover secrets that have been kept for decades. And she’ll find an ally in Sorin, the deadly young man who could be the assassins’ next leader. With Sorin determined to protect her, sparks—magical and romantic—will fly. But will even he understand the choice she must make in the end?

I’m pretty sure that I picked this book up randomly at the library, because the cover was familiar to me. Turns out, I’m actually glad that I did pick it up! Continue reading
