Book Review: Walking on Water is a gorgeous and validating read.
Walking on Water by Matthew J. Metzger My rating: 5 of 5 stars I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked up an ARC of Walking on Water. I asked to review it because I love merfolk stories as long as they are not Disney’s The Little Mermaid, and have been hungry forContinue reading “Book Review: Walking on Water is a gorgeous and validating read.”
Book Deal = Happier than a Puppy Off- Leash
This blog post should’ve been up a few days ago, but with storms, a family member’s health issues, and the start of NaNoWriMo, I neglected to write it.

Book Review – Ardulum: Second Don
Ardulum: Second Don by J.S. Fields My rating: 5 of 5 stars The second book was just as good as the first, and I am very thankful I was able to get a free digital ARC.
