Happy Release Day to The Gilded Wolves! 🎉

If you follow me on any of my social media accounts, you may have seen me talk about this book in all its green and gold gorgeousness. I absolutely loved this book. Kirkus calls it “an opulent heist adventure that will leave readers voracious for more” and I’m officially one of those readers. 🙋🏻‍♀️

If you’re curious about whether or not this book is for you, I’m here at your service! Here’s my spoiler-free review:

Welcome to our first Monday Minis! We’ve decided to create this little blog meme to create space for mini reviews — the reviews that don’t quite warrant a full post but are just as important. 💛 You’re welcome to join us! All you have to do is post your mini reviews on Mondays and that’s it!

So without further ado, here are the first Minis!

I suppose it’s safe to assume that most of us book lovers are big lovers of bookstores (if not to buy, then just to browse and appreciate). I have a lot of indie stores that I love, and wanted to share them with you! Some of these places I’ve been to many times, and others just once. When I travel, I try to visit a bookstore in whatever city I happen to be in. I like to keep a list in Google Maps that shows me all of the bookstores I’ve been to, it’s a really fun way of keeping track and seeing everything spread out on the globe.

Many thanks to That Artsy Reader Girl for coming up with the Top Ten Tuesday topics! Here’s the full list of topics if you are interested. Today’s (January 8th) topic is: Most Anticipated Releases for 2019 (the first half).

This is the story of a very serious young girl who would rather study and dream than become a respectable housewife and live up to the expectations of the world around her. As well she should.

When she finds a doorway to a world founded on logic and reason, riddles and lies, she thinks she's found her paradise. Alas, everything costs at the goblin market, and when her time there is drawing to a close, she makes the kind of bargain that never plays out well.

For anyone . . .
