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!

This Time Last Year (2025) I was reading:

*Affiliate Link Used*

Synopsis

C. S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia meets clean YA romantasy in this dual POV, slow-burn romance.

A human girl, a dragon prince, and a sacred covenant that must be restored before all is lost.

Sarah Lind thinks her biggest problems are picking a college and helping her large family. Until she falls into the dangerous Six Realms, inhabited by human-dragon shapeshifters who fight for their survival each night against the monsters of Earth’s myths. If Sarah is to find her way home, she will have to work with their Heir, who is warm and handsome enough to put her in a different kind of peril.

Koriben Sunfilled thinks his biggest problems are finding a cure for his father and redeeming the broken Covenants that his people rely on for their very existence (in that order). Until he finds Sarah, an entrancing Earthren who is just the person he needs—if only he can keep her safe from the monsters now hunting her.

But as their feelings for each other grow, even greater shadows creep across the horizon: a dark and ancient evil is returning. If the Six Realms and Earth are to endure, both Sarah and Ben will have to embrace their destiny—before the Devourer consumes their worlds.

Readers who love Brandon Sanderson’s hope-filled, immersive fantasy (but, let’s be honest, crave a bit more romance) will “devour” Dragon’s Blood, Book 1 of the Blood of the Covenants Series.

–My Review–

Currently I am Reading:

Comparison:

There are some suspenseful moments in all three of these books I am assuming so there is that.

As far as the dragons are concerned, there are at least mentions of Cornish folklore in The Botanist’s Secret that may turn into something real.

Besides that, I cannot imagine there would be too many comparisons between these three, especially since the world in Dragon’s Blood is completely made up, minus Earth that Sarah leaves in the very beginning.
