Today on Kitten Corner I thought I’d round up for you some of our recent board book reads that have an animal theme! All of these were sent to me free of charge, but that doesn’t affect my opinions.
Kitten Corner: Super Cute Animal Books
Review: Skyward Flight by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson
This bind up of three novellas in the Skyward series is an interesting addition to the story, but a frustrating one, because it seems essential to the series plot arc, while being marketed as side stories.
Historical Romance Windfall Thoughts, Part One
Do you remember the enormous stack of historical romance I was given by a neighbour at the start of the summer? Well, I’ve been working my way through it, and here are my thoughts on the first eleven books!
Review: Out of the Blue by Jason June
This YA contemporary fantasy romance is sweet, funny, and extremely relatable!
Review: Starfell – Willow Moss and the Magic Thief
You probably know by now that I really love the Starfell series, and the fourth book is no exception!
Review: Green for Danger by Christianna Brand
This mystery, originally published in 1944 and set in a military hospital during the Blitz, is a fun and fiendish puzzle with a soapy hospital drama feel!
Review: From the Abyss by DK Broster
This might be my favourite collection of Weird tales yet – a great mix of stories and subjects, with incisive character work.
August TBR Challenge: A is for August
It’s time to pick a new challenge TBR, and after a month of mostly romance reading, I’m ready to tackle some fantasy and sci fi! This month’s theme is ‘A is for August’, by which I mean I’ve chosen twelve books from the TBR with titles that start with A. Let’s see what’s on the list!
Book Blitz: A Coup of Tea by Casey Blair
Today I’m thrilled to be helping out with the book blitz tour for A Coup of Tea, the first in a new cosy fantasy series that could not be more my style!
When the fourth princess of Istalam is due to dedicate herself to a path serving the crown, she makes a choice that shocks everyone, herself most of all: She leaves.
In hiding and exiled from power, Miyara finds her place running a tea shop in a struggling community that sits on the edge of a magical disaster zone. But there’s more brewing under the surface of this city—hidden magic, and hidden machinations—that threaten all the people who’ve helped her make her own way.
Miyara may not be a princess anymore, but with a teapot in hand she’ll risk her newfound freedom to discover a more meaningful kind of power.
I’m about a quarter of the way through this book, and I’m having the best time – my full review will be coming in a couple of weeks. I just know the Tea Princess Chronicles are going to be perfect for everyone looking for a soft, fun fantasy read – you can add it to Goodreads here, or grab your copy here! And if that isn’t enough to tempt you, I also have an excerpt from the book for you. Just read on to get a taste of this fun, tea-filled book…
