That being said, … Continue reading Review: SOMETHING BORROWED, SOMETHING BLOOD-SOAKED
No mourners, no funerals. Let me start this review off by saying that I haven’t read a fantasy book since high school. I’m halfway through my Master’s degree now, so, yeah, it’s been a while. I was wary of starting this book at first. I bought it at Target because a) I compulsively buy a … Continue reading Review: SIX OF CROWS

Hello again! Welcome back to another riveting week of Corvina Has Not Had Time To Finish A Book Review! Just kidding (sort of). Although I am not kidding about the lack of review - I have books I need to write my reviews on, but I just have not had the time/mental capacity to sit … Continue reading Bookstore Therapy: Finding Solace Between The Shelves

But never fear, I am back with a (very) belated January Wrap Up and February TBR list! In January, I finally finished “Dangerous to Know” by Tasha Alexander. You can read my review … Continue reading Realism and Resetting Goals: January Wrap Up and February TBR
Bird Box by Josh Malerman tells the story of Malorie and her two children, Boy and Girl, as they try to survive in a post-apocalyptic world where mysterious creatures drive people mad and sight is a dangerous thing.

Up first is the fifth installment in the Lady Emily series, Dangerous to Know. Dangerous to Know by Tasha Alexander follows protagonist … Continue reading Corvina Reviews: “Dangerous to Know” by Tasha Alexander
College is difficult. Between attending lectures, keeping up with class readings and assignments, and writing essays, it can get overwhelming. Add in a part-time job—or, in my case, several part-time jobs—you barely have time to sleep. Reading for fun doesn’t even cross your mind. That’s how it was for me the first three and a … Continue reading Balancing Acts: How I Learned To Balance Reading With A Busy College Schedule
