Book Review: Ledge by Stacey McEwan

Published on January 17, 2023January 15, 2023 by Celeste8 Comments

Today’s review is about LEDGE by Stacey McEwan, a fast-paced, dark fantasy romance. At less than 300 pages, it’s an escapist read that I thought had influences from THE DARK CRYSTAL and THE HUNGER GAMES.

Good morning! Today’s review is about HOW THE PENGUINS SAVED VERONICA by Hazel Prior. I don’t typically read general fiction or women’s fiction, but I wanted to see what the hype about this book was. It’s a sweet tale about found family after personal hardship and learning to let others in.

Book Review: A Thousand Steps Into Night by Traci Chee

Published on December 12, 2022December 10, 2022 by Celeste3 Comments

Today’s review is about A THOUSAND STEPS INTO NIGHT by Traci Chee, a Japanese mythology-inspired tale. Some of the characters reminded me of Studio Ghibili creations. And I loved Miuko’s wry humor coupled with her ability to never lose sight of her goal.
