Evil Queen
by Jasinai (DeviantArt)

A Thousand Beginnings and Endings edited by Ellen Oh, Elsie Chapman
Anthology (Goodreads)
**This is a reimagining of folklore and mythology from Asia. I've read the first story from Roshani Chokshi about Maria Makiling and loved it. Cannot wait to read more.

Fairest of All by  Serena Valentino
A Tale of the Wicked Queen (Goodreads)
**I enjoy a good retelling/reimagining of fairy tales. This is from Snow White but the story of the Evil Queen. Why she became so obsessive about her vanity and her jealous rage towards Snow White.

Come Along Doctor
by Narya91 (DeviantArt)

Ghosts of India by Mark Morris
Doctor Who #25 (Goodreads)
**Donna was my favorite companion in the series so far. I always liked how she was shown as a love interest and got to be her own person. When looking over the Doctor Who books I had to grab this one with her on the cover.

Rebels and Realms by various authors
A Limited Edition Urban Fantasy Collection (Goodreads)
E.J. Stevens is one of my fav authors and when she sent this out in her email I had to give it a try.

Guardian of the Lower Nile
by The-SixthLeafClover (DeviantArt)

Magic Harvest by Mary Karlik
Fairy Trafficking #1 (GoodReads)
**Received this from Ink Monster and NetGalley. Expected Release: September 2018
***The concept of this one interested me. A half-fairy, Layla, has lived through a dragon attack that killed her mother and step father leaving her with her full blooded little sister and a fairy clan that despises her due to her tainted blood. When her sister is kidnapped and taken to the human world she is the only one that can goes looking for her. There she finds Fairy trafficking, magic harvesting, and murder.

The Memory of Fire by Callie Bates
The Waking Land #2 (Goodreads)
**This is the sequel to The Waking Land. I liked most of that book. It wasn't perfect but it was enough to keep me interested and want to read more. With magic awake and out in a world where magic is illegal there is a lot to deal with.

Doctor Who Paradox Lost by George Mann
Doctor Who #48 (Goodreads)
**I actually grabbed a few Doctor Who books this week but this is the first I'm reading. This is my second favorite combo of Doctor and companions. I've read another by this author featuring this group and really liked it. Hoping for more of the same.
