Tower of Dawn

I finished Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas today. This is book six in the Throne of Glass series. It had been a year since I had read Empire of Storms which is book five, so it took me a little bit to get acclimated with the characters again. This is however, Sarah J. Maas, so it did not take long for me to be totally addicted to the story.

Tower of Dawn is unique in that the only two characters that we know in this book are Chaol and Nesryn. This story picks up where Empire of Storms ends or just a few months later at least. Chaol had been injured in the previous book and is now confined to a wheelchair. Nesryn and Chaol travel to Antica to not only to gain support in the war but also to find someone to heal Chaol's legs.

This book was maybe not as action packed as the previous couple in the series but I do believe that it was necessary to move things along. We learn much more about both Chaol and Nesryn and both of the characters are able to find themselves in the process of this story. We also learn more about the history of the Valg and just who is behind all of the evil.

This was another great book by Sarah J. Maas! I highly recommend this series but if you are just getting started, go back to the first book, Throne of Glass. So many changes have happened since the beginning and trust me, you won't want to miss any of them!

Driftwood Bay

Driftwood Bay by Irene Hannon is a sweet and inspirational story. This is part of the Hope Harbor series but is the first one that I have read. I feel that this makes a good stand alone book but found myself becoming curious about the side characters in the story and would love to read the others in the series. Jeannette has created a new life for herself in the town of Hope Harbor. She owns a lavender farm and tea shop and spends most of her time alone. Her quiet world is shaken up when Logan moves in next door. Not only does he have a little girl, but also a trouble making dog that force their worlds to collide. Alongside the story of Jeannette and Logan is a beautiful and heartbreaking story of a family that has escaped persecution in Syria. Everyone in the story has their own heartbreak, but they all come together to create a new life and new relationships. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more books from Irene Hannon.

Review: Love the Wine You're With

I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy of Love the Wine You're With by Kim Gruenenfelder from St. Martin's Press. This book releases next month on June 13th. This is great timing because this is a perfect book to pick up for a light read on vacation. This story is about three friends that are all struggling with various aspects of their lives. They are all having problems with their careers and love lives. The women visit a wine bar one night and make the decision to open one themselves. They all jump right in to this new venture and in the process all find out a bit about themselves and what they want out of life. The book skips between the view point of the three women and I really enjoyed the author's writing style. This was a fun, light read and I hope you enjoy it. You can find out more about the book and the author here .

A List of Cages

I was inspired by the February Bookish Box to read A List Of Cages by Robin Roe. There is an option to receive a book with the box and this was the book that was chosen for the month of February. While I did not receive a book with my box, the title was included with everything else that I received. I have not cried this much over a book in a long time. It is so heartbreaking. I think this story fit very well with the theme of friendship. Julian lost his parents when he was 8 or 9 and was put into foster care with Adam and his mother for 8 months. After that he was taken to a long lost uncle by marriage who was very abusive. Adam and Julian reconnect after Adam is asked by the school psychologist to hang out with him and find out why he is missing class. They end up building a beautiful friendship. Julian who does not feel worthy of anything finds a place among Adam's group. I feel like there were still a lot of loose ends at the ending but it ends on a hopeful note. The story end...
