Review: The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo

Enchanting, Inspiring and Fantastic Novel

So I figured I had to read Paulo Cohelo’s worldwide best-selling novel “The Alchemist.”

Review: Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

Shadow and Bone has become one of my favorites reads of the year.

Shadow and Bone is book one in the Grisha Trilogy. I was astounded when I read this book. I can’t even begin to explain how much I loved the world Leigh created, the fascinating characters and the storyline they followed. Leigh Bardugo’s writing style and the amazing universe she created is perfect (*cheff kiss*). The Grishaverse.

Review: Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson

This book has everything I love: fantasy, horror, romance, suspense, action, and humor.

“Sorcery of Thorns” captivated my attention immediately after reading the storyline. Margaret Rogerson created a fantastic world in which libraries store dangerous grimoires full of dark power and books have a tendency to transform into deadly demonic beasts. (Can you see why I love it yet? ).
