Its new release Tuesday for Willow Rose by M. Kevin Hayden!

This eerie novel combines Native American folk horror with a scifi comet plot line. I had the pleasure of reading an ARC of this spooky gory tale set in the snowy woods of Minnesota. A unique story fans of scifi horror.

As a library kid, I'm pleased to say my books—both in ebook and print—are now available to libraries!

If you want mine in your local library, you can usually request books online. Check their website for a request form.

Hope to infiltrate every library soon! 📚📚📚

Wow, The Dragon Reborn is honestly my favorite #WoT so far. Much better pacing than the first two. I'm happy to have gotten more focus on Perrin and Mat(Chapter 50 was frankly beautiful).

5⭐ I was hooked from the beginning & am wondering how I will make it until May 2026 to read the rest. I loved everything about this from the world building to the magic system to the games to the intrigue. #BookSky #BookReview #MyDearIllusion #NetGalley #urbanfantasy #romance #ARCreader #ARC 💙📚🪐📚⏰

I thought I could guess motives and who was friend or foe, but I did not see the ending coming at all. I love a book that does that to me!
I'm so glad I was approved for an ARC via #NetGalley because this is one of my favorites of the year

"As I held his hand, I asked, "Do you ever wish you could change the world?"
His eyelashes drifted down, and his smile widened. "All the time."
"And what do you do?"
He shrugged. "Change myself.""

... This is an interesting one. A lot of what makes it that is spoilers, but it does a good job of breaking down the senseless and absurd nature of war. It made me laugh and almost made me cry and I think it made some really interesting points about life and aging.

Crossroads of Twilight by Robert Jordan

As with previous volumes, this one was a struggle sometimes but it also continued to balance the slowness by giving us amazing character moments as it really felt like we got to spend quality time with our favorites.
