I read as much as possible in my free time, it is one of my favorite things to do. There is nothing more relaxing to me than getting lost in a good book. Sometimes it is hard to find your next book to read, or where to even begin in finding one. Well look no further! I have put together a list of books that I have enjoyed reading over and over again. I have tried to include as much information as I can about each one to make it easier to find. However, if you have any trouble message me, I love helping people find new adventures!

This is the tale of Gorgon Elfhunter, a monstrous, mysterious creature who has sworn to destroy all the Elves of Alterra—until none remain. It is the story of Wood-elven heroine Gaelen Taldin, who has sworn to rid her world of the Elfhunter even as she is hunted by him. The conflict between them creates a tangled web that blurs the line between Light and Darkness, love and obsession, free will and fate. Filled with moments both tender and terrifying, thrilling yet thought-provoking, it is a timeless epic fantasy suitable for readers of all ages. Join the Company of Elves, dwarves, mortal men, and delightfully intelligent horses

Book List Order:

  • Elfhunter
  • Iron Promises (optional branch off story)
  • Fire-Heart

This next author and set of books is a very long one, only choose this one if you feel like being hooked on a story for a while! It is very worth it though. Tamora Pierce has many more books then the ones listed as well.

The Song of the Lioness: Although noble-born girls traditionally go to the convent to learn how to be proper noblewomen and wives, Alanna desires to become a knight, a position only given to noble-born boys. In order to achieve her dream, Alanna disguises herself as a boy under the name of Alan and goes to the palace in place of her twin brother Thom. As Thom has no interest in becoming a knight, and is far more interested in his magic, Thom forges a letter so that he can go to a temple to become an enormously strong and skilled sorcerer.

  • The Magicians' Guild

The Noble Dead Saga: At the start of the story, the two "half-breeds", together with Chap, make a reasonable living pretending to be 'vampire-hunters'. Eventually the inevitable happens; they cross paths with genuine vampires, one form of the Noble Dead or highest form[s] of the undead. These charlatans are plunged unwillingly into a dark reality of true undead and into their own dark fates as well as other personal secrets they kept hidden (even from each other). Much as they want nothing to do with this, and only to settle down somewhere quiet, they are soon driven from their home on a quest to learn the truth of their pasts and why they've been drawn together. The answers are bigger than any of them wish to acknowledge, aside from a wandering nobleman named Welstiel Massing who shadows their movements and is always too eager to goad Magiere out of hiding and force her onward.

Book List Order:

Phase 1:

  • Dhampir
  • Thief of Lives
  • Sister of the Dead
  • Traitor to the Blood
  • Rebel Fay
  • Child of a Dead God

Phase 2:

  • In Shade and Shadow
  • Through Stone and Sea
  • Of Truth and Beasts

Phase 3:

  • Between Their Worlds
  • The Dog in the Dark
  • A Wind in the Night

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
