» Every Heart A Doorway (Wayward Children #1) by Seanan McGuire
A short novella that explores what happens to children after they return from the fantastical world they’ve traveled to. This one didn’t exactly live up to the hype for me.

» Where the River Parts by Radhika Swarup
*4.5 stars*
This book is a historical romance at its core, but it was so much more than that. Where the River Parts is a historical fiction about the partition of Indian in 1947 into India & Pakistan. It explores the tensions between the Muslim & Hindu people during that time. This book is truly a hidden gem.
» Arrow’s Flight (Valdemar: Heralds of Valdemar #2) by Mercedes Lackey
*3.5 Stars*
The second book in the Heralds of Valdemar series that I am reading to participate in #ReadingValdemar. Much like the first book there were aspect about this book I highly enjoyed, and others…not so much.
» Everyone Brave is Forgiven by Chris Cleave
I don’t think I’ve ever laughed out loud during a WWII historical fiction book… Chris Cleave’s dry humor & witty banter was on point!
