Tome Thursday: The Last Gospel

 
Hello everyone!
 
Returning to my beloved Jack Howard series tonight.
 
And when I say beloved, I mean it.
 
I think I read the first six books front to back countless times, loving every single adventure Jack and Kostas ended up in. When I finally got the chance to own the books outright, I LEAPED.
 
I didn't even double check the landing.
 
I just did.
 
Now my mission is to gather them all here on the blog for your reading pleasure, because I understand some might not have the time for the books in full, some might not know about them, and some need reminders before going into the next one.
 
That's okay, I gotchu!
 
We won't stall anymore at all, but dive straight down into the depths of this mystery that's about to unfold before us: The Last Gospel.

Tome Thursday: Hunted by the Undead

 
Hello everyone!
 
Welcome to tonight's book of choice for the blog.
 
And dare I say, it's yet another banger?
 
To be honest though, I tend to only post the good ones on here, rather than ones I sometimes stumble upon that I either don't finish, or barely make myself finish (yes, they are the rarest of gems as I'm basically a black hole for reading, but they DO exist, I promise).
 
I think I might have only really posted a bad book review on here maybe once or twice, but that's about it.
 
As far as things go, it's only positives, bby!
 
Now without further ado, let's hop right into it, shall we?
 
We're revisiting one of my absolute favourite authors with her newest release that just hit the shelves this month, and it's time to brush off our knowledge of elemental magic for this.
 
Ladies and gentlemen: C. L. Carhart's Hunted by the Undead.

Tome Thursday: Addie and the AI Boyfriend

 
Hello everyone!
 
Welcome back to the blog for another interesting ride tonight.
 
I first stumbled over this author on BookSirens when I randomly chose a book of theirs that talked about vampires - I know, cliche, right?
 
But I ended up liking their writing style so I figured, when I got the notification that they had another ARC up to choose from, I could take a second look.
 
Turns out, their contemporary stuff is even better than their historic fiction one!
 
And I'm not even joking.
 
You might look at the title and think to yourself: oh this is some Avengers stuff. You'd be right, too, BUT it's still a fun thing to read through and you have tons of fun while trying to figure out what's going on.
 
So without further ado, let's hop right in and see what exactly Sarah Saponiara has to say in Addie and the AI Boyfriend.

Tome Thursday: City of Stars


Hello everyone!

Back with book number two in the books series Mary Hoffman wrote about teenagers who can somehow move through space and time and end up in a different world altogether.

It was something that I found as a high school student (and thus a teenager) myself, and I could honestly relate at that point.

I can relate less now that I consider myself an adult, but that being said it isn't exactly rocket science to sit down and enjoy a book you know you liked back in the day! Which means I'm definitely going to be munching through the rest of the series.

Except ... as this is the last blog in November, I'm going to be doing more Christmas-y or seasonal blog posts through December.

Probably not Vlogmas, like so many others do, but the flare and flavour of my posts will certainly be other than what you see during the rest of the year.

But to finish us off in this last autumnal blog post - City of Stars!

Tome Thursday: City of Masks


Hello everyone!

Time flies when you're having fun. I can't believe it's Thanksgiving already for the Americans! It's like someone wound the clock to go faster and faster.

I'm now allowed to watch Christmas movies AND listen to Christmas music, and I can admit I've already taken GOOD advantage of this. After all, I have a heck of a lot to catch up on with Hallmark's countdown!

That being said, however, I still really enjoy picking up books that I may remember reading when I was younger but then unfortunately losing sight of.

This is what happened with me this week.

When I was in high school (and before that, and still later, and today), I tended to devour anything that my local library had to offer. Among those was a series of books about an alternate universe Italy, which I completely forgot about.

Well, no more! Let's start it with City of Masks.
