Margaret Rogerson Officially Owns Me: This Book Was EVERYTHING | Review: Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson
8:00 AM
This. Was. So. Magical. And honesty? Sorcery of Thorns just might be one of my favourite fantasy standalones of all time. Come to think of it, I don't think I've been this smitten with a standalone as such since The Midnight Dance.

An Unfortunately Lackluster and Tedious End to the Wake Trilogy | Review: Gone by Lisa McMann
7:30 AM
All progress in terms of intrigue, and development, throughout Fade has left the building. While Lisa McMann is totally still my girl, Gone was not my cup of tea.
The highly anticipated sequel to The Gilded Wolves is months away, but I promise the wait is worth it. The Silvered Serpents is thoroughly captivating and imaginative.

Compelling and Full of Darkness | Review: My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell
5:03 PM
From a psychological standpoint, this book was bound to be nearly perfect (in a bleak, horrifying kind of way) for me to begin with. And, just like that, My Dark Vanessa compelled me to read on.

A Longtime Favourite Author, A Six Month Debate on Whether or Not I Should Post This Review | Review: American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins
4:35 PM
It's no secret that Jeanine Cummins single handedly inspired me to write true crime with A Rip in Heaven. If you've been a reader on my blog at any point in the last decade, you already know my fondness for that work of non-fiction. American Dirt, is, however, another story entirely--and has rightfully stirred up controversy. In an effort to not talk over the voices of those who were deeply effected by Cummins' work, I've procrastinated writing this review.

Fade Was Everything I Wanted the Wake Trilogy to Be | Review: Fade by Lisa McMann
9:00 AM
When I was in high school, I apparently had no idea how to read book series in order a good chunk of the time. Wake is the perfect example of that: I'd only read the second installment, Fade. And this was just as electrifying and engaging as I remembered.
When something combines my two great loves into one topic!! We have decided to stan this weeks topic for ever. For real, though, the world may be in a massive dumpster fire mode, but at least Top Ten Tuesday is here to bring us a little joy. And I'm always down for a little creativity.
While I didn't adore Wicked Saints, I was still intrigued by where any sequel could go. Ruthless Gods solidified my interest in the world that Emily A. Duncan has established within Something Dark and Holy.
