Finally got around to reading the Shadowborn Duet by Cassandra Broadbent. It was on my reading list for a year, but the important thing is I finished reading both books so I'm sharing my thoughts over on my blog. This does cover both books but I tried to stay as vague/high-level as possible to avoid sharing too many spoilers. https://maepolzine.com/blog/my-thoughts-on-the-shadowborn-duet-crowns-of-nyaxia-by-cassandra-broadbent/

I'm back from my trip to the Apostle Islands. I had an absolute blast exploring the 22 islands with my mom. I decided to share some of my favorite places and things we did over on my blog, check it out if you want to see what we got up to. https://maepolzine.com/blog/travel-diaries-apostle-islands/

Sharing everything I read in the month of July and what I'm planning on reading next. https://maepolzine.com/blog/the-read-cap-july-2026/

I finished both the Compass Points and Fae by the Bay series by Jillian Witt. Instead of doing a review for each book or each series separately, I'm combining them all into one. https://maepolzine.com/blog/my-thoughts-on-the-compass-points-series-by-jillian-witt/

Sharing all the recipes you can make in Pokémon Pokopia. I meant to share this when the game first released, but never got around to it. Better late than never. https://maepolzine.com/blog/pokemon-pokopia-the-ultimate-cooking-guide/

I updated my ranking of the Disney Dreamlight Valley DLC with the recent release of Honeyglow Woods. Check out where I ranked each of the four packs. https://maepolzine.com/blog/ranking-disney-dreamlight-valley-expansions-which-one-is-the-best/

I finally finished Sunrise on the Reaping after a little over a year of reading it. In part due to being distracted by other books or not being in the right mind space for it. So, I figured I would share my thoughts on it now that it's officially read. https://maepolzine.com/blog/my-thoughts-on-sunrise-on-the-reaping-a-hunger-games-novel-by-suzanne-collins/

Just updated my review of the Dark Olympus series by Katee Robert as the final book in this series has been released. Full warning I did not finish reading the last book, it pissed me off so there is a rant about it at the end of my review. There is a spoiler tag around that part. https://maepolzine.com/blog/thoughts-on-the-dark-olympus-series-by-katee-robert/

How rude! The link somehow got removed when I was sharing my review on Subnautica 2 Early Access yesterday. So sharing it again, hopefully this time it works correctly. https://maepolzine.com/blog/my-initial-thoughts-on-subnautica-2-early-access/

I've been loving Subnautica 2, while I have yet to finish Early Access, I still wanted to share my initial thoughts. I'm sure they will evolve as the game does as it continues to be developed.

Another book down, another Read-Cap of everything I've read and added to my TBR.

Updated my thoughts on the Aspect and Anchor series by Ruby Dixon with the release of Vowed to the Vulture God.
