Thistlemarsh Book Review
What I really loved about this book was how completely it transported me to a cozy, atmospheric, alternate post-WWI (and post-magic!) England. I adored the relationships between Mouse, Roger, Bertie, and John, and honestly wished we’d gotten even more of their dynamic. The setting and world-building was perfect, and I especially enjoyed the premise of Mouse having to restore the Faerie-blessed manor she grew up in to inherit it.

A Practical Guide to Dating a Demon Book Review
I thought this was such a cute YA read! And as a scholar and linguist myself, I was fascinated by the dilemma our group of young students faced in Language X. But the stars of the show were definitely Naomi and Daziel.

The Secret World of Maggie Grey Book Review
When I first started reading this book, it felt like it was going to be this super cool mash-up of like, Halloweentown and The Originals (or something similar). I especially loved the concept of a paranormal Underground centered around an HBCU and Black history and culture.

The Trident and the Pearl Book Review
Let me tell you— I was INVESTED in this story. Like, I’m talking, I started it last night and finished it this morning at 2:30 this morning. I flew through it. I don’t want to spoil anything or influence anyone’s opinions or thoughts too much as they read, so I’ll just say this: Coralys sucks, Oke is life!

Rebel of the Regency Book Review
I have been a longtime listener of Ann’s podcast, Vulgar History, and, as a historian myself, could not have been more excited to read this book. As such, my expectations were high… and she absolutely delivered. I don’t think I’ve ever had this much fun reading a biography.
