Dance of Thieves – Mary E. Pearson

1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

Kazi grew up on the streets as a thief – one of the very best. Good enough that she eventually caught the attention of the queen, who made her one of the Rahtan – her elite guards. Now, Kazi and some of the other Rahtan have been sent out of the kingdom to track one

The King of Faerie – AJ Lancaster

1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

I really enjoyed the end of this series. Definitely one of the best free series I’ve ever read. (The first book was completely free, but I got the others through Kindle Unlimited.) Hetta and Wyn are under a deadline – she’s pregnant, and they need the High King’s blessing to marry. But no one’s seen

The Court of Mortals – AJ Lancaster

1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

I’ve developed this really bad habit lately of parsing out books in series, even if I have all of those books available to me. I read the first book in this series a couple years ago, having gotten it for free. I did see that the others were available on Kindle Unlimited, so I figured

Stolen Midsummer Bride – Tara Grayce

1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

This is part of a series written by different authors about different brides stolen by various fae. I’m not sure I would have read this if it wasn’t by an author I knew I already liked – they look superficially like they could be pretty fluffy. (And I guess this one is, but not in

The Glamourist – Luanne G. Smith

1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

Yvette grew up in streets of Paris, left at a brothel by her mother. She’s tough and street smart, but that earned her a trip to jail when she murdered someone in self defense. In The Vine Witch, she meets Elena, also falsely accused of a crime, and ends up out of jail and back

The Kitchen Diaries II – Nigel Slater

1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

I found this and Volume III at the used book store for ridiculously cheap – a lovely holiday find. I forget how much I like Slater’s writing style until I’m reading one of his books again. And yes, these are cookbooks you can read. The stories that go along with each recipe are just such

Into the Labyrinth – John Bierce

1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

Hugh of Emblin is shipped off to the mage school at Skyhold as soon as his powers manifest – Emblin is rather proud of its reputation for no magic, and everyone there wants him gone as soon as he displays powers. The trouble is, once at Skyhold, no one can seem to teach him to

Pretense – Tara Grayce

1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

I’ve been really enjoying this series – it’s got some decent politics to it, and some nice romances, but none of it is particularly fraught – you know everything will turn out alright in the end. Princess Jalissa of the Elves and Prince Edmund of Escarland grew “close” during the captivity of Jalissa’s brother Farendel
