    Fae Crate Unboxing – Book Wyrm (May 2020)

    Athena, queen, is represented by Elizabeth from Sorcery of Thorns and I love it. Sadly they sent the art with text on it. They said they would send a new version without the text for people to display as art, but it is now October and I still don’t have it – so I’m posting…

    The Star-Touched Queen – Roshani Chokshi

    The Star-Touched Queen by Roshani Chokshi My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars The Star-Touched Queen is a little slow to start, but once it finds a groove the story will draw you in and you won’t want to put it down. The writing style is very poetic and descriptive, which is absolutely gorgeous but can…
