I write historical romance, historical paranormal romance, historical romance adventure, and contemporary paranormal romance. I would like to thank Mariella for inviting me to her blog!

Continue reading →: Review: A Tempest of TeaWhen I saw the beautiful book cover for A Tempest of Tea, I would never have guessed that there were vampires in the story. I confess that the word tea is what convinced me ultimately to give this novel a try. Since it had been popping up on my Instagram…

Continue reading →: Review: A Match for a Bookish BrideMy first read for September is A Match for a Bookish Bride, which is the first proper novel in the Ella Pointe series. It takes place on Whale Island, a seaside town described so beautifully that it reminded me, many times, of Avonlea in Anne of Green Gables. The characters…

Continue reading →: Review: A Thousand HeartbeatsThere’s something about Cass’ writing—I really think it is the “color” she adds to her characters—but the book made me nostalgic. It felt like I was listening to Love Story for the first time, as I was introduced to Annika and Lennox.

Continue reading →: A Witchy Sort of Reading ListIn order to write about a wood witch, I sought to read books about witches who are unafraid of what they are or who are only just discovering it.

Continue reading →: Review: The Ballad of Perilous GravesSet in New Orleans, The Ballad of Perilous Graves is a love letter to that noble city. It teases from the historical woodwork elements of magic so convincing that one could believe Nola is actually like that.

Continue reading →: Trying New ThingsMy goal is to learn five songs this year from beginning to end. This might include singing along! Since I’ve already learned the intro to White Horse, that’s become the first of those five songs.

Continue reading →: Review: A Declaration of the Rights of Magicians by H.G. ParryEchoes of Dickens shimmer between the lines of this epic tale set during the time of the French Revolution. Maximilien Robespierre is introduced to us as, not only a talented speaker, but a man who had a special gift which contributed to his ability to draw large crowds and win…

Continue reading →: The Aftermath of Decluttering a BookcaseI’m a storyteller who sees value in every tale, but that doesn’t mean that I need to hoard every book. Doing so creates physical clutter that reduces the value of the titles.

Continue reading →: Decluttering a BookcaseIt has been a busy summer. I cleared out all of my bookshelves this week in order to donate things I was no longer interested in or those which I had read and did not like. The process taught me much about myself: in seeing the books I chose to…
Hello,
I’m Mariella
Welcome to my cozy corner of the internet. This blog will be dedicated to all things books and reading, which happen to be my obsessions. Note the faint scent of coffee in the air; coffee is a must for me.
I will be sharing book reviews for reads that I enjoy. I’ll also be posting updates about my life as an indie author. Since I’m exploring the classics, expect the occasional poem or short piece as I experiment.
For centuries, land-bound descendants of Merpeople have been confined to hidden districts. Read The Sea Rose and sequel The Sea King if you wish to read their stories.
Join the fun!
Subscribe so that you don’t miss out on a book review or spontaneous poem!
