Review: A Bid to Rule by Novae Caelum

A Bid to Rule (The Stars and Green Magics #3) by Novae Caelum My Rating: 4 stars Genre: Science Fiction Age Category: Adult Blurb: While this book happens 23 years before the main events of this series, it contains characters, events, and context needed to fully enjoy the rest of the series.

Lola’s Ramblings: Top 10 Books with Neurodivergent Main Characters

For today’s top ten list post we could pick our own topic, so I picked favorite books with neurodivergent main characters.

I also selected only books where in the book itself it is made clear the main character is neurodivergent or the author has […]

So for this post I decided to pick my top 8 audiobooks from this year. I […]
