QOTD: What is your favorite sea creature?
.
.
.
Today I'm excited to announce that it's my tour stop on the Dylan McFinn and the Sea Serpent's Fury by @dylanandaxneus, blog tour hosted by @mmbtours.
.
.
.
I have my review to share with you. if you would like to see my full thoughts, you can head over to my website (link in my bio)
.

Dylan McFinn & the Sea Serpent's Fury is a middle grade fantasy adventure by Liam Jenkins. This book is the first book in the Dylan McFinn chronicles, and if the next books are anything like this one, I know they are going to be a ton of fun. Because that's how I would describe this book- a really fun middle grade adventure! I can see younger readers, as well as older readers who love adventure tales, really enjoying Dylan and the world that Liam Jenkins has created. This was a really fun book and would be great for younger readers.

.

In Dylan McFinn & the Sea Serpent's Fury, we first meet captain (who turns out to be Dylan's father) as he discovers a Mermaid in the sea one night. The book then progresses to a future date when the Captain has two son's Dylan and Axneus as he takes them back to the spot where he first discovered the mermaid all those years ago. What follows next is a wonderfully fun adventure with plenty of magical creatures, fun romps, heartwarming and funny scenes and some good lessons thrown in. I had a great time while reading this book.

.

Because the main characters of this story are Dylan and his brother Axneus, I think this book would be perfect for young boys (& girls) to enjoy. I also quite enjoyed the book's recycling message woven throughout. Readers who are looking for a fun adventure will really like the world that Liam Jenkins has created. It is a magical world indeed, filled with mermaids, shark gods, pirates, sea creatures and plenty more to capture a readers heart and attention. I would love to see what Dylan McFinn gets up to next!

QOTD: what upcoming release(s) are you super pumped for?
.
.
.
Aotd: I cannot wait for the release of master of one by jaida Jones and Dani Bennett! It comes out in November from Harper teen and it sounds amazing!!! A fae fantasy featuring a heist??? Heck yes!! I need to read this one ASAP!
.
.
.
Summary:

Sinister sorcery. Gallows humor. A queer romance so glorious it could be right out of fae legend itself. Master of One is a fantasy unlike any other.
Rags is a thief—an excellent one. He’s stolen into nobles' coffers, picked soldiers' pockets, and even liberated a ring or two off the fingers of passersby. Until he’s caught by the Queensguard and forced to find an ancient fae relic for a sadistic royal sorcerer.
But Rags could never have guessed this “relic” would actually be a fae himself—a distractingly handsome, annoyingly perfect, ancient fae prince called Shining Talon. Good thing Rags can think on his toes, because things just get stranger from there...
With the heist and intrigue of Six of Crows and the dark fairy tale feel of The Cruel Prince, this young adult fantasy debut will have readers rooting for a pair of reluctant heroes as they take on a world-ending fae prophecy, a malicious royal plot, and, most dangerously of all, their feelings for each other.

Mine has been crazy busy! For a while now. So busy that I missed Gus’ 15 week #pupsandstacks check in. I’m sorry :( but here is his 16 week check in.
.
.
.
I had such a hard time picking a picture this week. I put it to a family vote and this one was the winner. My favorites are the next couple so be sure to swipe and see them. He is such a cutie pie! He looks a little shorter in this picture but you can get a better feel for his heigh in all the others as you swipe. He’s 39.8 pounds now! Getting so big!

We’ve all heard the story of the Four Horsemen. Harbingers of the apocalypse. Destruction given form. Four of the sexiest—wait no—forget that. You get my point.
.

This is an adult reverse harem series with mid-burn romance and a strong but relatable heroine. This series is incredibly funny, sexy, and fast-paced--but it can also be dark at times. If you need a trigger warning, then this probably isn't the series for you. If you can handle some grit in your stories and enjoy reading authors like C.M. Stunich, Tate James, Raven Kennedy, Kristy Cunning, Ivy Asher, Sadie Moss, and Linsey Hall, then one-click now!*

📚🎉REVIEW📚🎉

Sisters of Sword and Song is a young adult fantasy standalone by Rebecca Ross. Sisters of Sword and Song is a great fantasy standalone. It is a really heartwarming tale of the bonds of sisterhood, all set in a really wonderfully developed world.

.

The book is told in dual narrative between the two sisters, Evadne, or Eva, and Halcyon which was perfect. I loved Eva and Halcyon. When a tragic accident occurs and Halycon has to bear the weight of the punishment, Eva steps up to help her sister out and take on some of her punishment. Which then sets the reader of on a wonderful adventure. I fell into this story so easily because I could picture everything author Rebecca Ross was describing. The world came to life for me, the magic system and the ties to mythology were huge pluses for me, and there was also a really strong cast of characters. I got so swept up in the plot that I read this book in one sitting.

📚BOOK REVIEW📚 . . . QOTD: What is your favor

📚BOOK REVIEW📚

QOTD: What is your favorite romantic comedy?
.
.
.

Not Like the Movies is a romantic comedy and is the second book in a series of interconnected standalones in the Waiting For Tom Hanks. like the first book, Not Like the Movies is an adorable romcom featuring heartfelt characters that put a big smile on my face. I liked it even more than the first book in the series.

Not Like the Movies takes place some time after the events of the first book. Annie has written a rom com movie called Coffee Girl and has announced that it is based on the true story of Chloe and Nick, her boss from the coffee shop. Only problem is, even though everyone can plainly see the sparks between Chloe and Nick, they haven't actually dated in real life. But Not Like The Movies is their story and I was there for all of their banter. I saw so much of myself in Chloe that it was so easy for me to relate to everything she was going through.

.

Chloe is a helper. She takes on all of the problems of the people around her and she tries to help everyone. I felt like I got Chloe, so I was rooting for her and Nick in a big way. I love how helpful and understanding Nick is. Their story is completely adorable and was a great mix of real life drama with rom com moments, with plenty of great movie references.

.

Bottom line: If you are a romantic comedy movie fanatic like I am, I think you would really enjoy all of the little movie references as you watch this rom com come to life.
