Title: Bed and Breakfast and Murder ( Fiona Fleming Cozy Mysteries #1 ) Author: Patti Larsen Published: January 28th, 2017 Genre: mystery, fiction, cozy mystery AMAZON | GOODREADS   Synopsis   A Poo Poo Kind of Morning I tried not to look down the mouth of hell staring back at me from inside the glaringly pristine outer ceramic shell of the white throne, my throat catching, stomach doing half flips and a rather impressive rollover routine that would have gotten at least a 9.5 even from the Russian judges. Instead, I forced myself to smile and swallow and remind myself the elbow length yellow rubber gloves grasping the handle of the standard issue plunger were all that stood between me and Pooageddon. Suck it up, Fee. Big girl panties and adulting and all that. "At what point," I waved the dripping plunger, wincing as droplets of yuck flew, "did I think owning a bed and breakfast was going to be glamorous and romantic?" Fiona Fleming hasn...

Title: Special A Sub or Dub?? Sub as always!! I was utterly horrified when I tried the dub :( Episodes: 24 episodes Manga: 17 volumes Where to watch: Hulu Genre: Drama, Romance, Comedy [About: Hikari Hanazono was the best at everything, so when she challenged Kei Takishima to a wrestling match, she naturally assumed she would win. She lost; he won, and the natural order was disrupted. Ever since Hikari’s entire life has been structured around beating Kei at SOMETHING. Try as she might, Hikari always comes up short. ] Would you guys be surprised if I told you I discovered this anime from watching some AMVs on YouTube?? It seems that happens a lot 😂 A couple things to keep in mind when watching this anime: Around the second or third episode, the anime started getting better art, just the first episode's art made me hiss like a cat :) This show honestly... is like  67% humor and 33% ''one-sided'' romance struggles. It's mean...

Title: Enchantée Author: Gita Trelease Published: February 5th, 2019 (hardcover) Genre: Magic, Historical Fiction, YA Goodreads | Amazon   Synopsis:    Paris in 1789 is a labyrinth of twisted streets, filled with beggars, thieves, revolutionaries—and magicians... When smallpox kills her parents, Camille Durbonne must find a way to provide for her frail, naive sister while managing her volatile brother. Relying on petty magic—la magie ordinaire—Camille painstakingly transforms scraps of metal into money to buy the food and medicine they need. But when the coins won’t hold their shape and her brother disappears with the family’s savings, Camille must pursue a richer, more dangerous mark: the glittering court of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. With dark magic forbidden by her mother, Camille transforms herself into the ‘Baroness de la Fontaine’ and is swept up into life at the Palace of Versailles, where aristocrats both fear and hunger for la magie. The...

* I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review, all thoughts and opinions are my own! * Title: Descent of Shadows Author:  Ryanne Glenn Published: December 11th, 2018 Genre: Middle Grade, Fantasy, Adventure AMAZON | Goodreads   Synopsis:    At the heart of her family’s war against the wraith king, Anna makes the only decision she can—to fight back.   Humans have always called the land of Istamba home, yet Roland, King of the Wraiths, is intent on claiming it for himself. When Fort Lieay is attacked, thirteen-year-old Anna Lieay is the only survivor. Distraught from the death of her parents, she makes the dangerous journey to the Sanctuary, the last free human settlement. There, she vows to join the army, despite her age, to help save her home from the wraiths and restore peace to humanity. It  makes it a little better knowing this is a Middle Grade, and apparently a series.    I had really liked th...

Title: The Last Magician Author: Lisa Maxwell LINKS: Amazon (affiliate link) Genre: Time Travel, Fantasy, YA Publication: July 18th, 2017 Synopsis:   Stop the Magician. Steal the book. Save the future. In modern-day New York, magic is all but extinct. The remaining few who have an affinity for magic—the Mageus—live in the shadows, hiding who they are. Any Mageus who enters Manhattan becomes trapped by the Brink, a dark energy barrier that confines them to the island. Crossing it means losing their power—and often their lives. Esta is a talented thief, and she’s been raised to steal magical artifacts from the sinister Order that created the Brink. With her innate ability to manipulate time, Esta can pilfer from the past, collecting these artifacts before the Order even realizes she’s there. And all of Esta’s training has been for one final job: traveling back to 1902 to steal an ancient book containing the secrets of the Order—and the Brink—before the Magician ...
