Review: Other Words for Smoke, by Sarah Maria Griffin

A bit late for F/F February, but I did finally read Other Words for Smoke. I bought it some time during the summer, where bookshops were no longer in lockdown and you could actually browse. Did not expect it to be in YA (all I knew about it was from following the author on twitter), …

(F/F) February recap

So this month did not go as planned, at all. Mostly because I've got a lot of exams for class, and some health things to take care of, and volunteering on the weekends, so I ended up not reading nearly as much as I'd planned for February, and not much on my F/F list. February's …

Review of Angel Mage

I've a confession to make. I've owned this book since late 2019... and I had not read it yet! It's beautiful and intriguing but it's A Chonker and last year was really not conducive to chonkers.
