The Stardust Thief

Books She Read: Mid Year Check-In

July 3, 2023 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

Hello again, dear reader or listener, we’re officially in my favorite month so it’s about time I look back at my standout reads of the year so far.
It has been a bit of a weird one for me, which means my reading moods were all over the place. This also means that of the several books I started, I only managed to finish reading the ones that hooked me the most, so picking out favorites out of the ones that made it is a lil hard.

Three Mini Reviews in One

March 18, 2023 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

Hello again dear reader or listener, I hope you are well!
Seen as I haven’t brought any reviews for your reading pleasure in a while, but I’ve also struggled to sit and write my usual long form ramblings because of reasons, I thought I’d try something a little different and present three mini reviews in one.
A Fantasy, a Gothic Romance, and a Romcom.
