Something I tried not to advertise too much was that I got an early eARC copy of These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong and I loved it!

I have been seeing this beautiful book on my feed and recommended by people in the book community A LOT well before it’s publication date (yesterday). So I was pretty excited to read this book; thank you so much to Bloomsbury Publishing Australia for kindly sending me a finished copy in exchange for an honest review (as well as a couple of others I’m so grateful for).

Skyward by Brandon Sanderson Book Review
I discovered Brandon Sanderson a long time ago, I even bought his Mistborn trilogy over a year ago but never got to it.

I had friends in real life tell me how good this book was and this year, when I got an Amazon gift card; I decided, let’s try this out. Let’s buy Skyward and see how Brandon Sanderson’s writing is.
