Time Travel Thursday – September 3rd, 2026

It’s Time Travel Thursday! Hosted by Emily at BudgetTalesBookBlog, this is where you get to relive all those bookish memories! Take a look back at what you were reading this time last year (or the year before or the year before that…) and compare it to what you are reading now!

I can finally partake in this meme since I have been regularly tracking my reading for a whole year now 🙂

This Time Last Year (2025) I was reading:

Synopsis

Three months after returning Magician Emery Thane’s heart to his body, Ceony Twill is well on her way to becoming a Folder. Unfortunately, not all of Ceony’s thoughts have been focused on paper magic. Though she was promised romance by a fortuity box, Ceony still hasn’t broken the teacher-student barrier with Emery, despite their growing closeness.

When a magician with a penchant for revenge believes that Ceony possesses a secret, he vows to discover it…even if it tears apart the very fabric of their magical world. After a series of attacks target Ceony and catch those she holds most dear in the crossfire, Ceony knows she must find the true limits of her powers…and keep her knowledge from falling into wayward hands.

The delightful sequel to Charlie N. Holmberg’s The Paper Magician, The Glass Magician will charm readers young and old alike.

My Review

Currently I am Reading:

Comparison:

The only book that is even a tad bit similar to The Glass Magician is The Apothecary on Wattle Lane. Mainly through the magical elements involved with the shop itself. The Glass Magician does share some romantic tones with Christmas, Actually now that I think about it lol. Plus, if you find Christmas magical, then there is that as well!

Besides that, The Paper Magician series takes place in London in the early 1920’s, while both of my current reads take place in the modern time more or less lol.

About Me

Hello! I am Ashley and I simply love to read, and hope you do to!
I am currently 29 years old and living in the state of Texas, USA.

My favorite genres to read and review include romance, fantasy, mystery, and many subgenres of those as long as it is clean. I mainly get my books from my Kindle Unlimited membership, but I also found myself checking out library books on Libby as well.

As you can see, I do not solely post book reviews, I also love posting daily prompt writing, as well as stuff that is going on in my life currently. That being said, my passion is reading and reviewing books to my heart’s content, so hopefully that is something you are also interested in.

I do have a Goodreads where you can follow if you desire (no pressure!) I also have a StoryGraph, of which you can follow me here.
