The end of the Wilderwood Duology manages to turn around two darker characters and stick the landing.
Odds & Ends 4/15-4/28
The past couple of weeks have seen small, but continuing steps forward in a few areas of my life.

Review: The Inheritance of Orquidea Divina
Despite a couple of weaker points, Zoraida Cordova's novel tells a compelling family drama brimming with magic.
Odds & Ends 12/25-1/7
Welcome to 2024 everyone! The past two weeks have been a wonderful blur of celebrating the holidays with family and then recovering from those holidays.

In between gatherings … Continue reading Odds & Ends 12/25-1/7
