Book Review: Shoestring Theory

Finally, another gem in my pile of digital ARCs! I am so glad that I found it on Netgalley and requested for the ARC because I absolutely loved everything about it. The expectation was that it’s going to be your typical cozy fantasy story wherein every trope will be thrown at you and you just have to deal with it. I am so glad that Shoestring Theory offered a lot of new things which put a smile on my face. For a debut novel, Mariana Costa did a wonderful job with Shoestring Theory. She has a good grasp about what…

Book Review: The Fabled Earth

The Fabled Earth is a novel that has a very beautiful story to tell. Set in the enchanting town of Cumberland Island located in the State of Georgie, it follows the story of three women –eccentric Cleo Woodbine, newly widowed Audrey, and answer-seeking Frances Flood – whose lives are unexpectedly intertwined due to past events that directly involved the now elderly Cleo Woodbine. While the story is confusing at first since it was told from different POVs and alternating timelines between 1932 and 1959, everything came beautifully once you get the hang of it. I think it has something to…
