Happy leap day! How was your February? I confess, the beginning of it feels like a long time ago, but everything in between is a muddle. Maybe that’s what happens when I get buried in editing. More on that a bit later! 😉
There were a couple rough patches this month, but they were drowned out by lots of laughs, precious people, good music, and fantastic stories—including one of my favorite reads this year about TIME TRAVEL.
February has a habit of being bleak and grey and in need of something… fantastical. But thanks to Jenelle Schmidt, this little wintry month has been infused with wonder! dragons! sprawling fantasy worlds! Yep, in case you hadn’t heard yet, February is Fantasy Month (for the fifth year!) and it’s not too late to join the party. More info over HERE.
Aaaand there’s a blog tag floating around, which the wondrous Christine Smith so kindly bestowed upon me. It’s all about fantasy creatures, one of my favorite categories, so here we go!
Let’s welcome Kaitlyn Brewer from On My Bookshelf to the blog today! She’s a fellow bookworm and a recent addition to my extended family. Today, she’s sharing a book review of Ghost by Wayne Thomas Batson—one of the few Batson novels I have yet to read. (Gasp!)
I’m also guest posting over at On My Bookshelf with a review of Mark of the Raven by Morgan Busse, where I’m going more in depth about the faith elements that really worked in the story. You can find that post HERE. Don’t run over just yet, though! Stick around to hear from Kaitlyn first. 🙂
Kaitlyn, welcome here! I’m excited to hear your thoughts on Ghost. Take it away.
Autobiography of a what? What is this? Oh, you know, it’s just Tracey reviving a wildly popular* blog series that she hasn’t continued for TWO YEARS.
*I mean, I thought it was fun. We can all pretend it was wildly popular.
Ahem. So back in the dark ages of January 2018, I began Autobiography of a Fantasy Character, a serial story poking fun at a whole pack of fantasy tropes. But after the third instalment in April 2018 I… kind of stopped. Many thanks to my faithful pal Blue @ To Be a Shennachie for gently giving me a poke and reminding me that at least one person is waiting to see what happens to Hero and Mentor and the elven princess with an unpronounceable name!
Last we saw them, it was a literal cliffhanger—yes, they were leaping off a cliff and into the unknown.
