Reading has always been my favorite hobby. Ever since the pandemic started in 2020, I’ve leaned into reading, hard, as the best form of self-care. According to Goodreads, I’ve read more new books during the last three years than I ever did before. 66 books (23,532 pages) in 2020 68 books (23,111 pages) in 2021… [Read More]

What I’ve Been Reading Lately // The Andari Chronicles

Text overlay reads: "What I've Been Reading Lately The Andari Chronicles Reviewed"

I have read a ridiculous number of retold fairy tales over the last two months. Like… well over a dozen fairy tale retellings, between books and novellas, from three distinct authors. The first set of retold fairy tales I devoured is The Andari Chronicles by Kenley Davidson. I haven’t written any book reviews in awhile,… [Read More]
