Top Ten Tuesday – The Ten Most Recent Additions to My To-Read List

Five book series that should be TV shows

Unless you have been living under a rock, you have probably heard about Netflix buying the rights to produce Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows duology and Grishaverse trilogy into a show. Bookish twitter has proceeded to go into excitement melt down. Kermit here seems to sum it up pretty beautifully… Anyway, this news got me …

The A to Z Book Tag

Book review: The Grey Bastards by Jonathan French

Fast-paced, fun and just a little bit crazy.

My January TBR
