Tyrant – A Book Review

Is there anything more delicious than getting to read an ARC of the new book by one of your favourite authors? Buckle up, fellow readers, because I got to read Tyrant from Sarah Bailey and oooooh boy, it was good!

The standard ARC disclaimer goes here: I did receive a copy of this book for free with the caveat that I would then provide a review of said book. There was no guarantee or requirement for me to provide a positive review – I’m doing that just because I really liked it.

Also, there are some minor spoilers below. I’m not writing out whole paragraphs detailing the plot and the ending or anything, but I am going to reference a couple of quotes and a favourite scene or two. If you would rather go in completely spoiler-free, you may want to avoid my full review.

New Releases for October 18-24, 2021

There’s a new Lori Foster novel this month!!!!! That is all, thank you for your attention.

Seriously, though. Lori Foster is one of those authors for me, the one who’s books always get put on my shelf no matter what. This week’s “new” release is actually a re-release of one of her older works. I seriously don’t care. I’m grabbing it and curling up with it anyways.

Here are some of the new releases that I’m looking forward to adding to my Kindle this week. Is there anything here that you find interesting? I would love to hear what everyone else is reading. Drop a note in the comments and fill me in!

New Book Releases for Sept 27 to Oct 3, 2021

Soooooo it’s my birthday on September 27, and that means that no books that I buy on my birthday will count towards my monthly budget!! I’m loading up, people!!!

Here’s some of the new stories that I’m looking to throw in my shopping cart this week. Let me know if there’s anything in here that you’ve read and particularly enjoyed (or didn’t enjoy!).

Can you believe that we’re almost to the end of September?!?! I’m not sure where the month has gone.

We’re starting to get into the best time of year in my area – lots of curling up on the couch with blankets and tea while I read and read and read. New books always help with that.

New Book Releases for September 13-19, 2021

It’s a pretty light release week, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing considering how many great reads have hit the shelves over the last month. I could use the catch-up time.
