Book Review: The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King by Carissa Broadbent

As we’re heading into winter, I’ve been cozied up with my crochet project and a copy of The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King by #CarissaBroadbent. I’ll admit that this book took a little longer than usual to get through—a little less reading and a little too much Netflix—but I still enjoyed this second book in the #CrownsofNyaxia series.

Book Review: The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon

Ariel Lawhon’s The Frozen River is a profoundly moving historical fiction that I’ve been honoured to read along with a group of friends. Our book club has been loving this novel and I’ve been transported back over two hundred years. It’s been the perfect #fallread.
