Book Review: The Free Bastards (The Lot Lands Book 3) by Jonathan French

Fetching is setting plans into motion to war with Hispartha and free the half-orcs from human oppression, and Oats has always been ready and willing to fight, but he also has family he cares about, and his path forward is starting to seem murky. When he goes with some of his hoof to play politics, Oats realizes he has some potentially life-changing decisions to...

Update: Life and Books (Aug 2021)

Another month, another monthly post in which I have to figure out what to talk about. I played some of the games I bought in the Steam sale last month! The Starfighter: Eclipse game, the one I'd wanted for a long time, was unfortunately a disappointment. Monster Hunting... for Love was fun though. I also played a bunch of very quick, free games by npckc on itch.io. They were cute, and my...
 
Bookish Musings: 3 Book & Song Match-Ups (3)

Bookish Musings: 3 Book & Song Match-Ups (3)

Yep, it's another book and song match-up post! What can I say? I like doing these. Books and music go great together. They've both got the meanings and the feels and the vibes. Once again, I happen to think these are all great books and great songs! The first song is a bit older, I have memories of it from when I was about sixteen. I really wanna use more songs that aren't super recent in...

Bookish Musings: Top Ten Characters from Books I Read in 2019

Characters are the heart of books for me, so, as usual at this time every year, it's time for me to talk about my favorites! The way authors can create entirely new people and make them feel real is always incredible, but there are some characters that stand out more than others, whether it's because they're so relatable or unique or interesting or sweet, and these are my favorites (which may...

Update: Life and Books (Sep 2019)

I'll start this post by getting the bad news out of the way. My face muscle/headache problem is still not better. I'm still waiting for a neurology appointment, but they're probably not going to find anything. So I don't know what's going to happen with my problem, and I don't know what's going to happen with my...

Book Review: The True Bastards (The Lot Lands Book 2) by Jonathan French

The Bastards have been dealt a harsh blow, and Fetching is left to clean up the mess as things only seem to go from bad to worse to even worse. She and her people are being attacked on all sides---figuratively and sometimes literally---but her hoof brothers are still by her side, even if their numbers are dwindling, and she's going to find a way to save her people or die...

Bookish Musings: Top Ten Books I Read in 2018 (+ Some Non-Bookish Things)

I've already shared with you all my favorite covers and favorite characters from books I read in 2018, so that means... it's finally time to share my favorite books! I don't know why I keep calling these posts "Top Ten" when I never manage to stop at just ten. My blog is just full of lies. It sounds good as a post title though, you know? Anyway, I'm excited, as I always am for this post, because...
