Top Ten Tuesday is hosted on That Artsy Reader Girl. Be sure to check out her blog for other takes on this week’s topic! If fall is the season for all things cozy, for me winter is a time of reflection and stillness. This is the time of year I most enjoy reading in depth…

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. I actually have two TBRs. I have the one that I keep on my phone through Story Graph and the stack of books I own. When I buy a book off of my digital TBR, I take it off the list. This is the easiest…

I’ve had this book on my radar for quite some time. On an Amazon wish list to be exact, and it fell into obscurity. But when I suddenly rediscovered this book, I knew I had to read it. For what could be better than taking two interesting, fantastical creatures from different worlds and putting them…

The only image in my mind that goes with “Rasputin” is from the animated movie, Anastasia, which features him as a (mostly) undead man read: zombie, with a talking bat and a creepy reliquary he sold his soul to. That is the beginning and the end of my knowledge of him–the “holy” man that brought down…
