Blame it on the combination of home schooling, pregnancy, holiday orders and a major reader’s block, it took me months to get through Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir. I had to experience extreme pregnancy insomnia to remember that I could just read instead of staring at the ceiling or scrolling through social media. Don’t…

Read | Pan’s Labyrinth: The Labyrinth of the Faun by Guillermo del Toro and Cornelia Funke
When I first watched Pan’s Labyrinth, I became a Guillermo del Toro fan. Sure, I had already watched Mimic and Blade II, as well as immensely enjoyed Hellboy by then, but Pan’s Labyrinth was a different kind of special. It’s mix of historical fiction and fantasy that swept me away and left me with wonder…
Read | The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
In as much as I think that I could live only reading fantasy and sci-fi, I do get the occasional urge to read something in a different genre. I think it’s my way of avoiding genre fatigue, but sometimes you just want a good mystery. Especially when it’s so hot, the weather puts you off…
Read | Come Tumbling Down by Seanan McGuire

When I attended the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale in 2019, I found a hardbound copy of The Last Magician by Lisa Maxwell on the fantasy table. I decided not to get it because I had planned on only getting paperback books on account of limited shelf space. A few days later, I watched booktuber…
Read | The Toll by Neal Shusterman
The Toll is probably one of my most anticipated reads of 2020, given how much I loved the earlier installments, Scythe and Thunderhead. I had planned on purchasing my copy once my daughter’s school year was done, so it would be easier to carve some solid reading time and give me a chance to relish…
Read | The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern
I’m usually late when it comes to book releases. My reading backlog is rather extensive, so it’s a huge deal if I can read a book a few months after the release. I really don’t mind since I choose books based on what I feel like reading at the time, but it was hard to…
