The Cat Who Saved Books is a truly enchanting tale of a boy who loses his Grandfather and his journey with a talking cat to save books. Translated from the original Japanese by Louse Heal Kawai it flows wonderfully as it draws you through the story.

Review: Master of Sorrows (The Silent Gods #1) by Justin T Call
Master of Sorrows is a slow, but methodical build to a whirlwind of a climax. Read this book!
Review: In The Land of Boxes by Kim Hebert
In conclusion, I don’t read kids’ books often since mine are all grown up, but if you’re searching for children’s literature with a great moral story, Kim Hebert’s In the Land of Boxes should be on your buy list or on your kid’s nightstand.
Review: Paladin Unbound by Jeffrey Speight
Paladin Unbound starts the way that all good fantasies do. With a prologue detailing events that happened millenia ago, leading to a prophecy being left behind that becomes the catalyst for the rest of the book. Speight does this incredible well as it immediately pulls you into the mythology and history of Evelium.
Review: The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab
Would it be better to be adored for who you are but immediately forgotten or to be remembered by all but not truly loved or appreciated?
Well, I finally read The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. I can see how this novel has garnered so much interest. Schwab’s prose is dreamy enough to drown in.

Review: The Free Bastards (The Lot Lands #3) by Jonathan French
The Free Bastards is a final book that takes everything we hold dear, all the cool, badass, components we’ve loved from the first two and throws a dash more of court intrigue that’s a weird fit with mongrels around, more strange magic and ramps it all up to a hundred! It’s a book that knows itself and ain’t scared to flaunt it. It’s a tapestry of all that the Lot Lands had to offer in books 1 and 2, woven into a tight picture then set ablaze; let me tell you this, reader, when the fire that is Oats starts, it doesn’t stop.
