Friday Favorites: New to Me Authors of 2019

There is nothing better than finding a new author whose stories just click with me. Sometimes they are debut authors and sometimes they are authors who have been around for years, but I’ve ignored because I’m dumb. Either way, I love finding new to me authors and I’m here to celebrate the ones I found in 2019.

Unexpected and enthralling, Sisters of Shadow and Light by Sara B. Larson is a dark tale of sisters, magic, and prejudice that will grab YA readers by the ankle and pull them into a whole new world.

Mini Book Reviews: One

Recently I sped through a couple eARCs and I wanted to get reviews out for them ASAP. I had seen the awesome Sabreena over at Books and Prosecco do a series of Mini Reviews and I thought that would be the perfect way to do these reviews. Without further ado, I present my mini reviews!

What’s this? The host of Friday Favorites is making a Friday Favorites post?!? WILD!

In Amélie Wen Zhao’s debut novel, Blood Heir, we are introduced to a cold world filled with magic, oppression, revenge, and betrayal. Though not without its faults, Blood Heir is a solid debut and a strong start to a thought-provoking series.
Rating: 3.5 stars

Stellar rep and an amazing base concept, yet this one fell painfully flat for me due to cliched characters that I never grew to care about and an overabundance of ideas that made the story feel bloated.

Oh hello, Friday Favorites! It’s me, your terrible host who keeps skipping weeks. BUT NOT THIS WEEK! For I am maybe finally out of my blog slump? LET’S GET HYPED!

Though filled with a variety of important representations and intriguing ideas, the execution was hampered by a slow and clunky writing style.
Rating: 3 stars

If you are looking for a fun ghost story, look no further than the Cassidy Blake books by Victoria Schwab. Full of friendship, playfulness, and genuinely creepy ghosts, the Cassidy Blake books will appeal to readers of all ages.

Rating: 4.5 Stars

The Themis Files isn’t perfect, but with its unique formatting and enthralling story, it is still one of my new favorite science fiction series.
