A Time for Weeping
A brief update this week. Read to find out how you can support me during this time. #musings
Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com I’ve been avoiding this for a while now, thinking I wouldn’t need to take such measures. However, I’ve come to accept that the only way forward is to be honest with myself. My creative spirit is broken; distraught with grief. I need to take more time to sit with my pain, to find my creativity again, to let my soul ache and languish the loss of the beautiful life…
WOMS: Where the Library Hides
It's my final #bookreview of 2024, and so obviously, I saved one of my best reads for last! That’s right—this week, we’re talking about the epic conclusion to the historical fantasy mystery, Where the Library Hides, by Isabel Ibañez. #musings
The book opens with a dedication to the readers who have agonized over the abrupt ending of What the River Knows, and I think more authors should respect a reader’s plight because darn right this is dedicated to me! As it should be! About time someone noticed! You can’t just leave me hanging like that with a final twist that stabs you in the gut! That’s right—this week, we’re talking all about…
WOMS: The Republic of Salt
It's been a year since we explored the Mirror Realm, and—at last—it's time to return with Ariel Kaplan's latest installment, The Republic of Salt. Click below to read all about it! #bookreview #Jewishfantasy #Jewishfiction
It’s been almost a year since we explored the Mirror Realm, and—at last—it’s time to return with Ariel Kaplan’s latest installment in her Jewish-inspired epic fantasy series, The Republic of Salt. But reader beware! Spoilers are ahead! Events start immediately after the first book’s conclusion without missing any beats. Asmel and Toba Bet are on the run on the mortal side of the gate as…
WOMS: Wake Me Most Wickedly
This week, we're talking all about Felicia Grossman's latest, Wake Me Most Wickedly, and what makes a true villain. Click below to read all about how she confronts an age-old antisemitic trope in this latest #historicalromance! #musings #bookreview
Felicia Grossman has done it again with another fairy tale retelling with her Once Upon the East End series, but this time the twist isn’t only the swapped gender roles in her version of Snow White. This week, we’re talking all about Wake Me Most Wickedly, and what makes a true villain. Solomon Weiss may have lost the opportunity to marry Isabelle Lira to his more than deserving friend, Aaron…
WOMS: The Spellshop
Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and I'm flooded with memories. This week's book review will be a bit unorthodox. Click below to read how Sarah Beth Durst's THE SPELLSHOP was the warm hug I needed these past two months. #amreading #bookreview #cozyfantasy
My uncle died earlier this month. I know that’s an odd way to begin a book review, but his death is intrinsically linked to this book I want to share. This will be a bit unorthodox. Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and I’m flooded with memories in my mourning. I’ve sat down trying to write this review as strictly a review for the past month, but each time I can’t help but circle back to my uncle and…
WOMS: Marry Me by Midnight
This week, it's Felicia Grossman's Marry Me by Midnight, a Jewish gender-swapped retelling of Cinderella. Click below to read all about its charm. #bookreview #Jewishfiction #musings
This historical romance has been on my TBR list for a while; since the moment I saw a hunky kippah-wearing man on the front cover. I don’t know about you, but most of the time, I forget what’s even on my TBR. I’m so glad I remembered this gem and actually picked it up to read because it was so much more than I expected. This week, it’s Felicia Grossman’s Marry Me by Midnight, a Jewish…
WOMS: Magical Meet Cute
We're back this week with another Jean Meltzer special, this time in the form of a hunky golem (maybe). It's Magical Meet Cute! #Jewishfiction #bookreview #musings
We’re back this week with another Jean Meltzer special, this time in the form of a hunky golem (maybe). It’s Magical Meet Cute! After an antisemitic attack, Faye—a former lawyer turned ceramicist living in Upstate New York—gets drunk and makes her perfect man out of clay inspired by the golem stories of old. But when a stranger walks in front of her bicycle the next day, leading to a horrible…
WOMS: Kissing Kosher
Because today of all days, we need joy, we’re continuing this week with more #Jewishfiction, this time with Jean Meltzer's Kissing Kosher, a delectable tale as sweet and rich as a loaf of babka to bring comfort in these uncertain times. Click below to read all about it! #bookreview #Jewishjoy
We’re continuing this week with more Jewish fiction, this time with Jean Meltzer’s Kissing Kosher, a delectable tale as sweet and rich as a loaf of babka. In this romantic comedy, with similar vibes to Romeo and Juliet, there are two feuding families whose patriarchs started a bakery half a century ago, but what neither family agrees on is who wronged who. Caught in the middle is Avital Cohen,…
WOMS: The Familiar
I’m back! (Sort of.) Realising being away has done wonders for me, so not wanting to tempt fate, I’m not back on social—yet—but the weekly blog posts are! To start off 5785, and in honour of #spookyseason, it’s my #bookreview of Leigh Bardugo's latest tragic love story in The Familiar. Click below to read how it surprised me! #Jewishfantasy
I hadn’t planned on reading The Familiar because the cover creeped me out a bit and I wasn’t sure if it would be too dark for me. How wrong I was. I’m so glad my friend persuaded me to give this a read because it was a heartbreaking, beautiful love story, one only Leigh Bardugo could have written. Though I haven’t read her new Ninth House series, I have read all but one of Bardugo’s Grishaverse…
From Mourning to Joy
Last blog post of the [Jewish] year! Click to read some final #musings before I take a break for the chagim. #actuallyautistic #amYisraelchai
This past year is coming to an end, at least on the Jewish calendar, and that means I have been reminiscent, as one does when they assess their lives before the chagim, or holidays. For us, for Israel, this past year has been tinged, if not saturated, with sorrow and grief. Since October 7, our lives have never been the same. There have been days where my grief was near inconsolable, where I…
WOMS: Dreamspinner
I'm back this week with another fantasy #bookreview, can you believe it? But this series seems to be an exception to my recent #musings. Click below to read how the #NineKingdoms checks all the boxes for me! #amreading #romantasy #epicfantasy
Remember my recent return to reading epic fantasy and how annoyed I was? It reminded me I hadn’t yet read the third trilogy in Lynn Kurland’s Nine Kingdoms series. If you haven’t guess by now, that’s exactly what I did, so let’s talk about it! Why I took so long to read this third trilogy, I don’t know nor understand. Sure, last year I might have needed a break after plowing through the first…
WOMS: A Grave Robbery
Veronica and Stoker are back at it, so this week let's discuss their latest adventure in A Grave Robbery by Deanna Raybourn. Click below to read all my theories about what comes next for our sleuthing couple! #bookreview #murdermystery #VictorianEngland
Veronica and Stoker are back at it, and this time they must solve a dastardly crime! This week for “What’s on my Shelf,” it’s Deanna Raybourn’s latest A Grave Robbery! Last we heard from our sleuthing lovers, they had reconciled and returned to Bishop’s Folly in contented bliss after solving their last case. As employees of Lord Rosemorran, we find them continuing their work of documenting and…
WOMS: The Curse of Penryth Hall
It's getting close to #spookyseason, so let's get in the mood with my latest #bookreview of Jess Armstrong's The Curse of Penryth Hall! Click below to read how this #murdermystery surprised me! #amreading #musings
It’s getting close to spooky season, and since I happened to read a few thrilling stories over the summer, let’s get in the mood! This week, we’re reviewing Jess Armstrong’s The Curse of Penryth Hall. What drew me most to this book was its setting in post-war England, especially since that is when my own work in progress is set. Of course, the promise of an enticing mystery didn’t hurt. I had…
Forging Neurodiversity
There are a lot of misconceptions out there about #autism, and as an #actuallyautistic person, I thought I'd share my observations. Click below to read what I think are the first steps to embracing and forging #neurodiversity in society. #musings
Photo by Nikolaos Dimou on Pexels.com When people think of autism, usually what pops into their mind is Ray from Rain Man or some other harmful, maybe even more grotesque, stereotype media has embedded in our psyches through misinformation. The problem with those images besides their obvious stigma and discriminatory depiction is autistics are a vibrant and eclectic group of people who vary…
WOMS: A Botanist’s Guide to Society and Secrets
Saffron Everleigh is at it again, so this week's #bookreview is "A Botanist’s Guide to Society and Secrets"! Click below to read all about her latest adventure! #murdermystery #historicalmystery #STEMinist #womeninSTEM #amreadingmystery
Saffron Everleigh is at it again, and this time she’s going undercover to unravel the secrets of a sinister society in the heart of the British government. This week for “What’s on My Shelf,” it’s A Botanist’s Guide to Society and Secrets! In the third installment of a series I am absolutely adoring, Saffron is tasked with helping clear Alexander Ashton’s brother name as a suspect in King’s…
