Just the one review title this week…

Six Wild Crowns by Holly Race – a breathtaking epic fantasy of dragons, courtly intrigue, sapphic yearning, and the wives of Henry VIII as you’ve never seen them before. Currently Reading

As for what I’m reading this week . . . I have no idea. I mean, I’m going to finish Wooing the Witch Queen by Stephanie Burgis (which I’m thoroughly enjoying), but beyond that . . . no idea. It’s been a high-stress, high-anxiety week, and I desperately want to read something physical, something mass-market paperback and very 80s/90s fantasy, but what that is . . . no idea.
