The Devil and the Dark Water
By: Stuart Turton
When Old Tom is summoned he whispers to you in the night offers your hearts desire for a bargain. And if you don’t bargain?
You die.
Which seems wildly unfair to me but that’s the situation the passengers of our ship find themselves in on their supposed to be 8 month journey home.
Just a couple of days after I whined about only negotiations happening Harley Quinn is renewed for season 3!
Is it just me or does it feel like despite the movies moving there’s been really good news recently at least out of DC and Marvel? 🙂
So apparently Keanu Reeves co-wrote a comic.
Whose main character bears a resemblance to him and you don’t really need to tell me more I’m in for the book and the sure to come film adaptation!
Mayhem
By: Estelle Laure
This book is being pitched as a YA feminist mash-up of The Lost Boys meets The Craft- and the minute I saw that I knew I wanted to read it!
A thousand thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing a free copy as part of the book tour.
 Do you guys sanitize your books?
Honestly until recently it’s not something that ever crossed my mind. And I say that as someone whose always been a germaphobe. When this started I noticed people talking about it for the first time which naturally made me look at my TBR pile with worry.
The Girl the Sea Gave Back
By: Adrienne Young
Boy you’d think surviving being cast out to sea as a child would be the most dramatic thing in a girl’s life wouldn’t you?
Not poor Tova who is found and brought up by a distrustful clan of warriors who only want to use her for her ability to cast the stones and see the future when she does this for one particular idiot things only go to hell all the faster.
But at least she gets a great book cover.
The Book Charmer
By: Karen Hawkins
I received an ARC of The Book Charmer from Netgalley in return for an honest opinion. And my honest opinion is if this book was an animal of some sort I’d be on the floor scratching its belly cooing, “Aren’t you just the cutest little thing ever!”
Enchantée
By: Gita Trelease
Paris. Versailles. Love. Magic. Hot air ballon and handsome inventors. The French Revolution. Marie Antionette (well, a cameo) and the crazy parties of the aristocracy while the world burned.
Even the cover of this book screams, “Read me in the Spring!”
Geekerella
by: Ashley Poston
Grade: B
Geekerella is a Cinderella retelling featuring fandom, conventions, copious texting and the magic pumpkin actually being a Vegan food truck. The hardcover version of this book is just lovely and it’s been getting a lot of buzz from some of my favorite Youtubers so I thought I’d totally fall for the hype and give this one a chance.
Gemina
Authors: Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
Grade: C/C+
This book is the second in a series that began with Illuminae: The Illuminae Files 01Â and actually concerns what’s going on at the jump station that the survivors of the first book are trying to make their way too. Basically, the same idiots who perpetrated the crimes of the first book are continuing their meticulously documented conspiracy to cover up those crimes in Gemina.
Luckily there are two snarky teens on the station to try to stop them. The boy from the wrong side of the space station and the Commander’s “spoiled” daughter up against the highly trained operatives sent to secure the station and lay a trap for the incoming ship.
