Bookish Wishes

 Today's Top Ten Tuesday is all about bookish wish lists! 

I am sure there are many lists that include our to-read titles and those we maybe have read but want to own. These are all mostly books that I haven't read yet! This is just for fun and this is my official wish list. Maybe you will find a new title you want to read yourself! 

Happy Tuesday! 



























Thanks for stopping by!

Wormwood Abbey Review





About the Book

 As a Victorian clergyman’s daughter, Edith Worms has seen everything — until a mythical salamander tumbles out of the fireplace into her lap. When a letter arrives from estranged relatives, Edith is swept away to a crumbling gothic Abbey in the wilds of Yorkshire.


Wormwood Abbey isn't just full of curious beasts and ancient family secrets: there’s also a tall, dark, and entirely too handsome neighbour who is strangely reluctant for her to leave.


An unexpected bond with her prickly cousin Gwendolyn gives Edith a reason to stay in this strange world — especially when it turns out that Edith herself may have a role in guarding her family's legacy.


But not all of the mysteries of Ormdale are small enough to fit in her lap...and some of them have teeth.


WORMWOOD ABBEY, Book 1 of The Secrets of Ormdale, is a cosy gothic novel of mystery, dragons, and the perils of friendship, perfect for fans of EMILY WILDE'S ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF FAERIES and Maria Grace. (GOODREADS)

My Thoughts 


This book is an absolute delight! Set in Yorkshire with a whipsmart heroine, well written secondary characters, and..dragons?! Everything from the setting to the family dynamic made this story one of my favorites of the year. I can't wait to read the rest of the series!!


Five stars!!!
