This Woven Kingdom
“Fire was her soul, but water was her life; it was all she needed to survive.”
The Golden Enclaves
Last book in the trilogy, and sadly, my least favorite.
The Last Graduate
“Senior year, you spend half your time staying alive, half your time on your lessons, and half your time working out a graduation strategy to get you through the hall. If you can’t make that equation add up properly, you die.”
Firekeeper’s Daughter
“I never thought about secrets being like a bull’s eye. The smaller the circle, the bigger the secret.”
A Deadly Education
“You don’t ever get anything in here without paying for it. Ever.”
Always and Forever, Lara Jean
The final book in the trilogy! Bittersweet.
Dune: The Graphic Novel, Book 2
The next installment of the graphic novels! Here is my super helpful review.
Heir of Blood and Secrets
“The Castle might be home to the wealthiest and most powerful people in Devovea, but it’s also home to the nosiest. Secrets are the currency here, where nothing is as simple as it seems.”

A Forgery of Roses

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before
“If love is like a possession, maybe my letters are like my exorcisms. My letters set me free. Or at least they’re supposed to.”
The Desolations of Devil’s Acre
“The final trial is yet to come: a battle the magnitude of which we can’t yet know.”
Sing Me Forgotten
“Destruction is a music all its own. One composed of drumbeats and a percussion of passion and pain.”
Echo Island
I'm always hesitant when non-fiction writers decide to write fiction, especially theologians. It was thought-provoking and suspenseful. The descriptions and dialogue…
Spinning Silver
"Don't sorrow so. The winter is gone."
"But it is gone because I have fed the fire, and it wants more wood."
Lost and Found
This story shows me that Orson Scott Card is a smart, creative, and funny guy who has imagination and sarcasm and the ability to write things that are meaningful.
The Kingdom of Back
Did you know Mozart had a sister who was just as musically competent- both in skill and composition- as he was? This is Lu’s adaptation of that historical story, intertwined with a fantastical world the Mozart siblings created together.
The Conference of the Birds
I still enjoyed reading it, there’s plenty of action and, of course, the iconic vintage photos. Again, not particularly…
The Warden and the Wolf King
Perfect ending to an excellent series! This series was one of those where you just sigh and smile and feel very satisfied. You feel better for having read it. Peterson is such…
The Monster in the Hollows
“When it rages long enough, hate doesn’t need a reason. It burns for the sake of its own heat and devours whatever, or whomever, is set before it.”
