The Backlist: Mistborn Era 2
The Era 2 books of the Mistborn series are as close to perfection as one can get to in storytelling. Any Mistborn fans who skip the Era 2 books are depriving themselves of some of the best dry humor, classic Sanderson heartbreaking plot twists, and a cast of fantastically built characters, specifically, the best character … Continue reading The Backlist: Mistborn Era 2
The Backlist: The Mortal Instruments
The Mortal Instruments is where the Shadowhunter world begins, and while the plots can get muddled and weird, readers will remain hooked for the drama, the relateble characters, and most importantly, Magnus “I am the best character in this series” Bane.Series Rating: 4 Stars FYI: This is a general review of the series as a … Continue reading The Backlist: The Mortal Instruments
The Backlist: Mistborn Trilogy
A little under a year ago, I found some friends through #bookstagram who all had a desire to read some Brandon Sanderson books. I and one other had read quite a few of his books already and the other two were Sanderson newbies. I dubbed us the Sanderson Sisters and thus my Sanderson reading group … Continue reading The Backlist: Mistborn Trilogy
The Backlist: Charlotte Holmes
This week I am doing a backlist review of the Charlotte Holmes books from Brittany Cavallaro. I am stoked to get my hands on the fourth and final book in the series, A Question of Holmes, which was released on March 5th. One of my dear friends is getting me a signed copy, so until … Continue reading The Backlist: Charlotte Holmes
The Backlist: Six of Crows Duology
Before I get into the meat of this backlist review, I want to get something off my chest: Six of Crows is the ONLY reason I ever finished reading the Grisha Trilogy. I read Shadow and Bone a while back and it never did anything for me and I decided the trilogy wasn’t for me. … Continue reading The Backlist: Six of Crows Duology
The Backlist: Red Rising Trilogy
Before I jump into this backlist review, I have to apologize for how many times I'll be using the word "brutal". Because, damn these books are brutal and Pierce Brown is cruel and capricious and I love him. Red Rising (Read December 28, 2015 - January 7, 2016)This is the kind of book that'll remind … Continue reading The Backlist: Red Rising Trilogy
The Backlist: The Illuminae Files
Hello all! I’m back with another set of backlist reviews. This time around I look at The Illuminae Files by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff. This trilogy was one of my surprise reads of 2018. I constantly avoided these books, honestly, because I hated the bright orange cover of Illuminae. Well, you know the saying … Continue reading The Backlist: The Illuminae Files
The Backlist: Weregirl Trilogy
Many moons ago, when I was first starting to gain traction in the #bookstagram community I was asked by Chooseco Publishing to review their upcoming book, Weregirl: Typhon. I got the book and then realized that it was third in a series. I managed to snag a copy of the first book in a used … Continue reading The Backlist: Weregirl Trilogy
The Backlist: Jay Kristoff
Throughout my many years of reading I never knew the importance of book reviews. I figured the reviews left on Amazon, Goodreads, etc. didn’t matter and that the ones that mattered were only by people who did reviews professionally. Now that I know the error of my thinking (Thanks #bookstagram) I am trying to work … Continue reading The Backlist: Jay Kristoff
