Thoughts After Reading of The Crown of Gilded Bones by Jennifer L. Armentrout

The third installment of the Blood and Ash Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout was released called The Crown of Gilded Bones. I read it in a day as I had with the other two books in the series. I could not stop turning the pages in this book. Like the previous books, when I did my review on them, I’m going to be sharing spoilers. I have a lot of thoughts and don’t think I can adequately at this time do a proper review. I will give this book a rating of 4.25 out of 5 stars. In case you want to skip my thoughts to avoid the spoilers. It was good, the worldbuilding was spectacular of how things were handled. And I can’t wait for the next installment.

Book Review: Dark Harmony by Laura Thalassa (The Bargainer Series, Book 3)

Dark Harmony by Laura Thalassa is the final book in the Bargainer Series, though there is a novella called The Emperor of Evening Stars which I do plan on reading after this. I don’t think I’ll write a post about it as I normally don’t when it comes to novellas. But there’s no way I’m not reading it. I want to see things from Desmond’s POV. I don’t know all of what’s going to be in the novella, but Desmond is such a romantic I need to read it at least once. But this post is not about the novella, I’m going to be sharing my thoughts on the final book of the series.

Book Review: A Strange Hymn by Laura Thalassa (The Bargainer Series, Book 2)

Continuing on with The Bargainer Series by Laura Thalassa is A Strange Hymn. I immediately started this book after finishing Rhapsodic because I needed to know more. Is the Thief of Souls really gone? We know Karnon was the one behind it to some extent but the women didn’t wake up. Also, Callie now has wings, scales, and claws I’m very curious to see what’s going to become of those. Does their appearance unlock more power, or something else? I have so many questions… which is exactly why I dropped straight into A Strange Hymn to find out what happened next.

Book Review: Rhapsodic by Laura Thalassa (The Bargainer Series, Book 1)

The Bargainer Series by Laura Thalassa, I didn’t look or read the synopsis before reading the first book: Rhapsodic. The only thing I heard about it was it was good, spicy to some degree, and fantasy from BookTok (TikTok). And I was in the mood for all of those things. So, I plucked this one of my TBR and decided to give it a go.

Book Review: A Deal With the Elf King by Elise Kova

I wanted a lighter read after A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas, since I ended up reading the entire series multiple times after finishing that. And I couldn’t bring myself to jump back into the book I had been reading before I switched to that one. So, I ended up picking up A Deal With the Elf King by Elisa Kova. Which is a novel part of series called Married to Magic. These tales are not connected in a sense of characters, but they do exist in the same world. A Deal With the Elf King is the first (and currently only) book released in this series.

Stardew Valley: Crops That Bring in the Most Money

I have been playing A LOT of Stardew Valley recently. Not only playing it but watching other people stream the game. And at this point in my games, I’m just working on turning profits. The community center is complete in both of my game saves. I have a farm over on Ginger Island (still working through unlocking everything there) and in one of my saves I have Skull Cavern 100 Level challenge complete. So… profit! Profit means crops, but there are a lot of crop options in the game both at Pierre’s and the Desert Oasis. Not only that but they change by the season. These are your best options when it comes to crops to make the most money.
