Shelf Spotlight: Bancroft! Marianne Guevara 2024-05-03 | Around a year ago I went through my shelves, going in depth, sharing my thoughts, and highlighting notable titles. My bookshelves had significantly changed since then and one of the biggest changes was the addition of a Bancroft shelf. You might have seen that I posted a short that similar to this video but I thought I’d go into more detail, like I did for my other shelves last year. As you probably already know Bancroft is a favorite author of mine and The Books of Babel a favorite series. So this shelf means a lot to me. I hope you enjoy! Do you also have a shelf dedicated to a favorite author? If so, who?

The Shadow of the Gods Review Marianne Guevara 2024-04-18 | Venturing outside of your reading comfort zone can be rewarding…or not. The Shadow of the Gods and The Bloodsworn Trilogy have been described as an action packed, grim dark, high fantasy inspired by Norse Mythology.

Here I explain my thoughts on the book, what I liked and what I didn’t.Let me know if you’ve read this book and whether or not you enjoyed.
