Books with Noel

  You know the best way to end a long day at work? Or the most relaxing, anti-stressful things to do in an evening? I have no idea either. But I do know my favorite thing is to have a cup of tea and read a good book. Absolutely love it  ♥    Fantasy and sci-fi books are usually my go to reads and my most favorites, so I'm always looking for more to try.  Last fall,  Lume by Tricia Ghent (the indie author's debut novel) was released and the first thing that caught my attention about it was that it was a mix of my two favorite book genres! It took a bit but I've officially finished it and wanted to share about it to anyone that might be interested in this read or looking for another book to give a go!   Synopsis:   The capital city of Lume is on the brink of chaos. A newly formed underground city begins a rebellion, threatening Lume's complacent king. A Prince, content with a warm bed and a full glass, must choose between his family and his ho...
