Let’s start with what this book does well. It’s a really interesting premise and the world-building is good (if slow). A long time ago, the balance of magic was upset and now the Spirit of the Woods is taking over with a magical mist that kills people. Cue: a need to save the kingdom and those infected by magic. While the King is ostensibly trying to do this, he is prepared to sacrifice the captain … Continue reading One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig →

This HaBO comes from Chantelle, who wants to find this series: I read a book a while back. I can’t remember character names I’m afraid, just a vague idea of plot… Right at the start of the book the male main character was tied by his ankles, hanging upside down. Vaguely remember having a younger guy with him and deciding to escape when the younger man couldn’t hold out much longer? He works for private … Continue reading HaBO: Security Company Band of Misfits →

Hello, Bitchery!!! If you missed me, it’s because I spent basically all of 2021 and 2022 in graduate nursing school, and then the first couple months of 2023 studying for a licensing exam. Through this process, I have found that one of the only ways I find I can actually unwind from cramming my brain full of massive amounts of information at a rapid pace is by playing video games. As you might imagine, I … Continue reading The Life Sim Games That Got Me Through Nursing School →

RECOMMENDED: The Secret Lives of Country Gentleman by KJ Charles is $1.99! I’m hoping this isn’t a leftover KDD from yesterday. Carrie gave this one a B+:
The strengths of this book are in the balancing of conflict with humor and optimism, the rich characterizations, and the portrayal of life on the marsh, as well as a romance between two opposites. It’s entertaining, exciting, and immersive. While I wanted a little more from the ending, I enjoyed this book overall!
