The Marvel’s Avengers Book Tag

I saw this book tag on a couple of other blogs (@TheReadingHobbit , @theorang-utanlibrarian , @BookishlyBrittknee ) and thought it would be good fun to do… Especially with Avengers: Endgame coming out in less than a month! Anyway, as I said, I wasn’t tagged in this one by anyone, but here goes: Iron Man – …

Book Review – Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson

What if Frodo had failed? What if the Dark Lord won? These are the questions that Brandon Sanderson asks in this book. I suppose the best way to describe Mistborn: The Final Empire is Epic Fantasy that dares to be a bit different. Coming into this book, I was excited but also a little nervous. …

Book Review: The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

I’ve been umming and ahing about writing this review for a while. Most of my reviews are for books I have never read before. This, however, is a review of a book that I have read many a time. The Hobbit is in fact the book that really sparked my love of fantasy, and as …

Book Review: The Wolf in the Whale by Jordanna Max Brodsky

This book came to my attention a few months ago, and I’ve been intrigued ever since. Mythologies from around the world have always been something I find interesting, so combining a regular favourite – Norse mythology and history – with something a bit less seen in the Inuit culture was always going to be a …

My March TBR

Wow, it’s the third month of the year already? 2019 is going quickly! So, last month I managed to read 3 books, which isn’t the most. February is a short month though, right? That totally works as an excuse, right? Anyway, here is my monthly TBR update of what I will be trying to read …
