Hello, everyone! Today I’ve got a LONG overdue review of The Radiant King by David Dalglish. This ARC has been sitting on my shelf for over a year and a half. I bought the audio a while ago too when it was on sale because I thought I might get to it quicker, and I finally got around to listening to it recently. Without further ado (since it’s already been long enough 😁), read on to see my thoughts on this first book in a new series by Dalglish!

Today I’m participating in Top Ten Tuesday. This meme was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each week there is a new theme/topic, and participants choose ten books that fit it.
This week’s theme is Books on My Fall 2026 to-Read List. I never got around to making a list for summer, but I actually did okay with my spring list. I read or DNF’d 7 out of the 10 books that I chose. Hopefully, this fall will be just as successful (or more). I have a ton of ARCs to read in the fall, but I’m honestly a bit burnt out from ARC reading at the moment. Obviously I’ll read them, but I’m going to focus on book purchases and backlist reads for this list. Without further ado, let’s take a look at what I hope to read before fall is over… The covers link to the Goodreads page of each book in case something catches your eye!

First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?
Today I’m participating in Top Ten Tuesday. This meme was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each week there is a new theme/topic, and participants choose ten books that fit it.
This week’s theme is an Indie Freebie. So, I’ve decided to highlight some of my favorite indie authors and the books that made me a fan. I’ve read quite a few indie books over the years, which made it hard to narrow down this list. My reading tends to skew more towards traditionally published books these days, but I do still love to check out indie titles that catch my eye. There’s so much diversity and so many cool ideas to explore. Without further ado, here are the authors and books I chose (covers link to Goodreads):

It’s a new month! That means it is time to share a new TBR. I’ve been a bit absent over the last week or two because my cat and I have both been pretty ill. Thankfully, we are on the mend. So, I’m going to try to stay on top of comments and blog hopping a bit better. Without further ado, let’s dive into my September 2026 hopefuls and a brief recap of my reading from last month!

It’s the end of the month, which means it’s once again time to look ahead to some great upcoming book releases. There are SO MANY books being published in September that I struggled to narrow this list down to 33 of them. I apologize to those that got left on the cutting room floor. Seriously, though. There’s lots of great stuff being released in the coming month, including new books from James Islington, Rachel Gillig, Aiden Thomas, R.F. Kuang, Freya Marske, Leigh Bardugo, and so many more. If you missed my list of August 2026 releases, you can find it HERE. Without further ado, here are 33 of my most anticipated September 2026 book releases (covers link to Goodreads):
