Up And Coming: Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman

Well now. I can't help but feel like Mr. Gaiman is capitalizing on the success of Marvel's Avengers, but at the same time... this is NEIL GAIMAN, PEOPLE. Norse Mythology is going to be so accurate and detailed that I can't wait. 
Interestingly enough, I've never actually read a Gaiman book, but his reputation (and work on Doctor Who) precedes him. I'm a fan without ever having cracked a novel. His rep is THAT incredible. I bought American Gods and plan to read it this month so I can stop sounding so silly raving about a book that's not even out yet, by an author I've never read. I know it's cliche to pick American Gods as your first Gaiman, but it just looks so good!
I swear, there's no paid advertising in this post...

    My personal favourite Neil Gaiman is The Graveyard Book.
    I look forward to this one.

It's gonna be everything - Mia Lansford

  It’s Gonna Be Everything – Mia Lansford Released November 24, 2020 2.5/5 I was contacted by Mia Lansford and asked to review her book – how exciting!! I was very pumped and reading the blurb it was right up my happy, can read it in a couple of hours, aisle. The premise is basically that Amber is trying to heal from an abusive relationship and Noah is trying to keep his autistic son’s teacher in his life when Amber is suddenly let go due to budget cuts. They’ve been in the same circle since college and Amber will hang out with Tyler after school a few times a week to make the transition to not having her as a teacher easier. In exchange, Noah has to help Amber regain her confidence in herself and get some tips on how to flirt with men. It’s a cute premise, and I was here for it.                 Overall, I enjoyed the story. Mia Lansford writes characters that are full of personality and wildly relatab...

Chain of Gold - Cassandra Clare

Chain of Gold - Cassandra Clare 3.5/5 I have not read anything by Cassandra Clare since The Mortal Instruments series which I read many, many years ago. I didn't read The Infernal Devices or The Dark Artifices series, though I did read The Red Scrolls of Magic recently which I absolutely loved. I was in school, and getting my life started when they came out and I just didn't have time time or money to devote to new series. So to say I am no longer overly familiar with her writing style would be an understatement. I am still familiar with the general world of the Shadowhunters as I am a huge fan of the Netflix show, even though I do recall that the show deviated a great deal from the books after a while. Overall, I liked the book. I liked the plot, the diverse cast of characters and familiar last names like Herondale, Fairchild, and Lightwood. I always appreciate Clare's take on love, her inclusion of LGBTQ characters (Magnus Bane is, and always will be, one of the ...

The Wedding Date Disaster - Avery Flynn

  The Wedding Date Disaster – Avery Flynn 5/5                   It is super rare that books get a full 5/5 rating but I discovered Avery Flynn when her novel Parental Guidance came out and I’ve been hooked since. Buyer be aware – they are short. I can read the books in their entirety in about three hours. I once read three of her books in the same day because I was hooked on the Hartigans. Also, all of her books seem to come in trilogies, but most of her back catalog seems to also be loosely related. In this case, Hadley’s roommate Fionna is a Hartigan so it ties into the Hartigans series that I mentioned reading all of in one sitting before. As far as I have found, all of the characters through the book live in the fictional Harbor City, somewhere on the East Coast. That being said, she is a little bit unique in the fact that all of the books in all of the trilogies are also standalone. It’s a v...
