Book of the Month

Book cover for 'The Devils' by Joe Abercrombie. A red-inked illustration of a horned skull wearing a small crown sits center, with two lit candles glowing above it like flames rising from the horns. The background is a dark teal-to-black gradient with faint red cracks along the edges. Text reads 'The New York Times Bestseller' at top, with blurbs from Pierce Brown ('Devilish fun, an unholy delight') and Joe Hill ('Abercrombie is in a class of his own') flanking the author's name at the bottom.

The Devils

by Joe Abercrombie
Joe Abercrombie reminded me how much I love fantasy. The characters won my heart, I couldn't even tell you who I love the most, and I had to laugh out loud multiple times. This book makes me want to read and write and live out my love for stories.

Everything I Read

Book cover for The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig, split down the middle: one half shows a woman's torso in silver plate armor and chainmail, the other half shows the same figure in a sheer blue-grey gown, both dusted with water droplets. Two pale moths rest on the fabric, and a flower and greenery frame the edge. Title in white serif type, author name in pale pink below
The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig

An easy-going romantasy that fell flat on worldbuilding and story.
