5 stars What an amazing, unique, unexpected, splendid book. This was jaw-droppingly good and I did not want to put it down. I’ll admit, as an animal-lover I was a little squeamish when first introduced to the roadkill witch. But Leyh does such an amazing job of creating characters that you will gladly welcome into…

3 stars I’ll admit I’ve never been much of an Alice in Wonderland fan. I prefer tight plots to nonsensical reads. However, I have read some good retellings of Alice’s adventures and wanted to go back to the source material to better understand them.

5 stars By this point, whenever I pick up a book by Kay O’Neill, I pretty much expect it to be amazing. They have never disappointed. I absolutely loved The Tea Dragon Society and was thrilled to dive back into the word of tea dragons (and visit a few familiar characters) in this companion story. As always,…

4 stars A great follow up to the first book, this one picks up right where the last one left off. Because of the narration style and in-story explanations, this could be read fine as a standalone. However, the first book is also a lot of fun so I recommend reading it. I originally listened…

A collection of tales featuring witches in all their shades. Some are wicked, some are sweet, and some lie somewhere in between. This is the first in Iron Faerie’s 500 series, stories told in exactly 500 words. This created a nice reading format as all of the tales are the same length, spanning about three…
