The Second Blind Son – Review

Wow!! As a rule, I don’t read fantasy, but Amy Harmon makes it so delectable time and time again. Her words completely transported me to the world of Saylok. I loved being able to head back to this world, with the concurrent storyline to The First Girl Child. We were able to visit the characters…

April Recap + May TBR

Hi, my friends! Another interesting month has gone by. I’m shocked I managed to finish 10 books in April! Though I have all the time in the world it seems, I’m not actually reading all that much. I’ve been enjoying playing games, doing puzzles, riding bikes, watching tv or movies, and running with my family….

Where the Lost Wander – Review

Amy Harmon does it again and I can’t even say I’m surprised. She’s a dynamic writer, with each book being better than the last. Where the Lost Wander may be my new favorite of hers. I’m certain this book will be at the top of my list of favorites for 2020. The word that comes…

The First Girl Child – Review

I’m convinced Amy Harmon is one of the only people on the planet who can encourage me to read Fantasy and make me enjoy it. This is my least favorite genre to read because I often have a hard time wrapping my mind around the funny names and things that aren’t, at least, somewhat realistic….

January Recap + February TBR

I keep seeing the meme joking about January being about 85 days long, but it is so true. January has been one of the longest-feeling months I’ve experienced in quite some time – not necessarily all bad, but long and challenging. I didn’t read nearly as much as I hoped I would this month. However,…

What the Wind Knows – Review

What a delight, to begin the year with one of my most anticipated reads of 2019, by one of my favorite authors of all. Every Amy Harmon book leaves me in awe – completely astonished by the gifts she was endowed with, the feelings she’s able to put into language my brain does not possess….

2019 Beat the Backlist TBR

2019 is here and it’s time to put my plans to work. At the end of the year, I decided I would participate in NovelKnight‘s Beat the Backlist Challenge and Hogwarts House Mini Challenge to clean up my TBR a bit and knock out the books I’ve been wanting to read for years on my…

December Recap + January TBR

What a great year it’s been and in terms of ratings, December was a great reading month with five five-star reads! Two of the books from this month made my list of favorites for the year, which is a hefty accomplishment in the last month of 2018. I set my reading goal low for me,…

My Favorite Books of 2018

What a year! 2018 has been my best reading year to date – 123 books and 34,151 pages read (maybe I can still squeeze in one or two more)! I always simultaneously look forward to and dread making my list of favorites at the end of the year, though it’s my first time doing so…

2019 Beat the Backlist

Like any avid reader, I’m already prepping my 2019 to be read list, eagerly anticipating new releases from my favorite authors, like Amy Harmon’s What the Wind Knows. Though I’m eager for new releases, I desperately want to exercise self-control and finally check off the books that have been gathering dust on my shelves at…

Top Ten Tuesday – 10 Backlist Books I Want to Read

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. I decided to hop on the bandwagon and give the Top Ten Tuesday a go for the first time! This week’s topic is: Backlist Books I Want to Read. I have many great books to catch up on, written before I was…

The Queen and the Cure – Review

“The Gifts we are given are not given for our benefit but for the benefit of mankind.” Was Amy speaking of herself with this quote?  Seriously, the woman’s gift of writing is a benefit for mankind.  Every time I read one of her books I am in complete awe of her writing abilities.  She crafts…

The Song of David – Review

I have a hard time writing reviews for Amy Harmon’s books. Not because I don’t love them, quite the contrary actually. I love everything she writes greatly, and I find myself struggling to find words I haven’t already said about all of her books. I read the first book in this series, The Law of Moses,…

The Smallest Part – Review

Many thanks to Amy Harmon for my very first ARC copy of one of her novels! Authors like Amy Harmon are the reason I read. Her beautiful heart bleeds onto the pages of every book she writes. After I finish reading each book I’m left in awe of her writing, the soul of her books,…
