Wrapping Up 2024- Angela’s Favorites
Some quick stats- I've read 142 books as of this post. A whopping 66 of those books were published in KU. Every time I found myself in a book slump I browsed through KU and chose a fantasy or science fiction romance. I found LJ Andrews, and her Ever series. Which is when I realized that it was a spin-off of the Broken Kingdom series. So, I gobbled up all 12 books over a month or so. I LOVE this world so much. I read more fantasy romance, science fiction romance, and horror this year than Continue Reading

She carried a small velvel pouch, and was digging through it--pulling out jewels, strands of gold. As if Continue Reading

This book had it all Continue Reading
