The Atlas Six by Olivie BlakeContemporary FantasyMarch 1, 2022Macmillan Audio Review by Jen First, I’m so excited that I found libro.fm because it’s a book site that supports independent booksellers. I love Amazon, but this was a nice find. The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake is a dark academia book that has been on my list for quite a while. It was a huge hit on booktok and was optioned by Amazon for a series. I ended up listening to this one and really enjoyed it! With that said, Continue Reading
Review: The Royals of Forsyth University by Angel Lawson and Samantha Rue
Series: The Royals of Forsyth University by Angel Lawson and Samantha RueNew Adult RomanceFebruary 12, 2021 Review by Jen This reverse harem series by Angel Lawson and Samantha Rue is VERY intense and if you have any triggers, they’re probably somewhere in one of these books. Seriously. Not a series for the sensitive, check content warnings. Lords of Pain is the first book. Our heroine Story has a troubled past. She’s no angel, and her mom was a prostitute, her step dad met Continue Reading
Review: The War of Two Queens by Jennifer L. Armentrout
The War of Two Queens by Jennifer L. ArmentroutFantasy RomanceBlue Box PressMarch 15, 2022 Review by Jen Whew…The War of Two Queens by Jennifer L. Armentrout is a LONG book. I think it was 25 hours!! I’ve listened to every book in this series- with two more to go- and the author changed this one up a bit with dual narration. It stunned me at first when Casteel spoke and low and behold it was a real guy! After the initial shock, I did really enjoy his voice. There’s been some Continue Reading
This Week on TikTok
Holy crap, it’s nearly 90 degrees here today!! We just went from spring to summer in one hot second. On my sweaty mid-afternoon walk today, I listened to Circe by Madeline Miller. It’s great and I’ve got about three hours left before the end. Anything could happen, but Song of Achilles by Miller is still my favorite from this author. I’m also inching towards the finish line on the third book in the Lords of Forsyth series. That review will be a doozy. I’m fanning myself. My book club is meeting Continue Reading

Hey, It’s Jen! I’m a major reader of KU books and love recommendations to fill my 20 book quota a month.

Review: Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover
Reminders of Him by Colleen HooverNew Adult RomanceJanuary 18, 2022 Review by Jen I am once again asking you to read Colleen Hoover. Reminders of Him was soooo good! I used my KU membership and clicked it as one of my 20 books each month. Then, bought the audible, for I think $1.99. Well worth it! This was a heartbreaker!!! It’s hard not to read a book like this and imagine the situation happening in your own life. Kenna is the FMC, she was found responsible for the death of Continue Reading

Happy Friday! How is everyone? We did our spring break trip to Scottsdale this year and had a great time. I read, relaxed, ate delicious meals and hiked a crazy steep mountain with hundreds of other people. I just started listening to The War of Two Queens by Jennifer L. Armentrout. The book is getting so many negative reviews, it’s sort of heartbreaking! So far I like it. Look for my review soon. #5 New fear unlocked #4 Eight lives left #3 Excuse me sir, I think you mean Continue Reading
Scenic Sunday: Faefever by Karen Marie Moning
When Angela first mentioned the idea of Scenic Sunday, I KNEW EXACTLY which series I wanted to revisit. I just wasn't sure which scene. Hmmm....so many great moments in the Fever Series. I think this series is what got me into urban fantasy and down the rabbit hole of Jeaniene Frost, Kresley Cole, Gena Showalter, Patricia Briggs, Ilona Andrews, and of course, JR Ward. I seriously need to reread this series, it's been years. Jericho Barrons will always be my #1 book boyfriend!! I'm already Continue Reading
Jen’s Mini Reviews: Books by Debra Anastasia, A. Jade, and Ella Maise
I’m going to review these in order with the best being last. Here we go! First up is Mercy by Debra Anastasia. New author to me that I listened to over the course of several days. Zachery Webber and Muffy Newtown are the narrators. I would listen to Webber read the dictionary. That’s how much I love his voice. Newtown didn’t do it for me, she’s sort of too breathless and didn’t feel like the right voice for her character. Main characters Phoenix (nickname - Nix) and Becca first meet Continue Reading
