I'm Leah! The woman behind Leah's Books, a blog where I write book reviews and post other bookish content.
After reading Caraval last month and feeling like it just didn’t live up to the hype, I was on the fence about reading Legendary, the second book in the series by Stephanie Garber. Fortunately, some people strongly urged me to give it a try, telling me that it […]
Here’s the rules: Faeries were often accused of taking children and leaving changelings in their place. Today’s post is about bookish changelings — a book that you picked up that wasn’t at all what you thought it would be. I recently read The Enchanted by Rene Denfeld. It […]
I’ve been neglecting my usual weekly posts in favor of the Bookish New Year’s Challenge, but I’m glad to be back to my routine. Kristy from Caffeinated Fae posted this last week, and basically invited everyone to join in. As you probably already know, I can’t resist a […]
We Set the Dark on Fire by Tehlor Kay Mejia immediately caught my eye with the beautiful cover. I was intrigued by the story too, once I could tear my eyes away from the front of the book. At the Medio School for Girls, distinguished young women are […]
It’s been a while since I posted for Top Ten Tuesday, and I’m really excited to be back at it! Today’s post is about the 10 most recent additions to my book shelf. Since I’m a little *ahem* financially challenged, I tend to rely on ARCs, gifts, and […]

Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas is the second book in the Throne of Glass series. While Throne of Glass didn’t end on a cliffhanger, I was looking to find out what happened next in the story. TRIGGER WARNING: Reference to rape, gore Assassin Celaena Sardothien won […]
I couldn’t wait to get started on Glass Sword (book #2 in the Red Queen series) by Victoria Aveyard, especially since I loved Red Queen so much. If you’ve read book #1, you’ll understand my overwhelming urge to ignore my looming TBR pile in favor of reading this […]
I received an ARC of this book through NetGalley. I am providing my review voluntarily. Belle Révolte by Linsey Miller was high on my list of books coming out in 2020 that I was excited to read. I didn’t even realize until I was already reading it that […]
I came across Uprooted by Naomi Novik on a display in a nook in my local public library. I honestly didn’t know what to expect, other than that the cover was reminiscent of a fairy tale and was pretty. I had no idea what I was in for. […]
