About Us

Yes, we’re sisters. Yes, we’re twins. Now that that’s over with, let’s talk books. We started this blog in 2012 and have been talking book boys, authors, covers, and reviews ever since. We love to read just about everything, but some of our favorites include – romance, dystopian, YA, paranormal, indie, NA, horror, contemporary, historical fiction and more. Our goal with Fic Fare is to always give our honest opinion, even if it’s unpopular. We are both book nerds, music enthusiasts, cat lovers, gif addicts and sarcasm aficionados. We’ve been told that sometimes we read too much, but we know there is no such thing as too many books. We love getting to know other readers and we can’t wait to get to know all of you. Make sure you come say hi!

Happy Thursday my friends! I’m on PTO for a few Happy Thursday my friends! I’m on PTO for a few days - not doing anything fun (in fact I’m sitting at the car dealership getting an oil change right now) but needed to use some time!
.
What is a series you read ages ago and still remember fondly? For me it’s the Iron Fry series by @juliekagawaauthor - I remember reading these and waiting impatiently for each book to be released so when The Iron Raven was announced I didn’t even hesitate to reorder! I can’t wait to read it!
.
I hope you all have an incredible day and do good things!

Hey all! Happy Tuesday! . What’s coming up on yo Hey all! Happy Tuesday!
.
What’s coming up on your #tbrpile ? I was so excited to get my hands on this one! It arrived a bit too late for me to read prior to release but I’m hoping to dive into it soon! Check out the summary below and get it on your tbr now OR grab a copy today since this came out last week! (ALSO isn’t that cover gorgeous?) 
.
Summary:

Choose your player.

The “ironborn” half-fae outcast of her royal fae family.
A tempestuous Fury, exiled to earth from the Immortal Realm and hellbent on revenge.
A dutiful fae prince, determined to earn his place on the throne.
The prince’s brooding guardian, burdened with a terrible secret.

For centuries, the Eight Courts of Folk have lived among us, concealed by magic and bound by law to do no harm to humans. This arrangement has long kept peace in the Courts—until a series of gruesome and ritualistic murders rocks the city of Toronto and threatens to expose faeries to the human world.

Four queer teens, each who hold a key piece of the truth behind these murders, must form a tenuous alliance in their effort to track down the mysterious killer behind these crimes. If they fail, they risk the destruction of the faerie and human worlds alike. If that’s not bad enough, there’s a war brewing between the Mortal and Immortal Realms, and one of these teens is destined to tip the scales. The only question is: which way?

Wish them luck. They’re going to need it.

Happy Monday! Are you a fan of suspense? I have be Happy Monday! Are you a fan of suspense? I have been reading more and more titles in this genre and I just absolutely love when I can’t figure out the twists!
.
Huge thank you to @stmartinspress and @bighonchomedia for sending me this amazing book and some sweet treats to enjoy while reading! Summary is below and I’m so excited to give it a read!
.
Summary:

Skye Starling is overjoyed when her boyfriend, Burke Michaels, proposes after a whirlwind courtship. Though Skye seems to have the world at her fingertips―she’s smart, beautiful, and from a well-off family―she’s also battled crippling OCD ever since her mother’s death when she was eleven, and her romantic relationships have suffered as a result.

But now Burke―handsome, older, and more emotionally mature than any man she’s met before―says he wants her. Forever. Except, Burke isn’t who he claims to be. And interspersed letters to his therapist reveal the truth: he’s happily married, and using Skye for his own, deceptive ends.

In a third perspective, set thirty years earlier, a scrappy seventeen-year-old named Heather is determined to end things with Burke, a local bad boy, and make a better life for herself in New York City. But can her adolescent love stay firmly in her past―or will he find his way into her future?

On a collision course she doesn’t see coming, Skye throws herself into wedding planning, as Burke’s scheme grows ever more twisted. But of course, even the best laid plans can go astray. And just when you think you know where this story is going, you’ll discover that there’s more than one way to spin the truth.

Happy Sunday! I hope you are having a wonderful day! What have you been reading this weekend? I actually marked a book DNF this weekend and moved on to another that I’m enjoying but most of my weekend was just doing random things and less reading for some reason!
.
I love this pin and these bookmarks - in fact I adore all the @merwildandco bookmarks that I’ve gotten from @illumicrate - they are just so beautiful!

Enjoy your day!

Happy Saturday!!! Have you seen the trailer? Do I Happy Saturday!!! Have you seen the trailer? Do I have to ask? I don’t even know how I’m going to control my excitement - it’s as just so glorious!
.
I am lucky enough to have this amazing arc of Shadow and Bone and I was even able to get it signed by @lbardugo at a signing - the always amazing #adamsilvera gifted me with this ages ago and it even has some of his notes in there - it makes me smile so much when I see it on my shelves! So thank you @adamsilvera ❤️ and thank you Leigh for building this amazing world! I can’t wait to see it onscreen! 
.
I hope you are having a wonderful Saturday - I finally parked myself on the couch and am hoping to find a book to read! Got any suggestions?

What’s your favorite treat to eat? Erin and I have been on a mission to order cookies from anywhere and everywhere (thank you Goldbelly) during this pandemic and I’ve found a few faves that I would highly recommend if you’re a cookie eater (Bang Cookies out of NJ and Big Fat Cookie in Chicago if you must know).
.
Might I also recommend this book to you? I loved every second of this read and if you enjoy a Much Ado About Nothing retelling set in the 20’s with a speakeasy, bootlegging and mobsters... this ones for you! Lol it was just so so good! Grab it today!
.
I’m totally in the mood for a plate of bacon and am debating with myself how it would be totally okay to just make some for myself. Alas work is calling! Enjoy your day everyone!

Happy Tuesday! I didn’t know what to share with Happy Tuesday! I didn’t know what to share with you all today so ... here you go - a book I absolutely loved and had me feeling all kinds of things! Have you read it?
.
Is there a book on your shelf that you just smile when you come across it? I have a lot of those but I also haven’t reread this one yet despite my feelings so I may need to do that!
.
I am battling a headache today - I woke up with it and coffee and Advil hasn’t done anything to help. One more meeting today and then I may shut my laptop! We will see what happens!

Happy Sunday! I tend to use this Instagram space t Happy Sunday! I tend to use this Instagram space to talk about books I love and share recommendations - I used to do a whole lot more promo back when i received more books but I’ve become less of a ‘give me all the books’ person over the years I’ve realIzed! What do you use your space for?
.
All that to say that I started this book on audio the other day and have loved absolutely every second of it. These characters and the writing is just amazing and I’m so mad at myself for not reading it immediately upon receiving it. I predict many rereads in the future!
.
I hope you all enjoy your day!

Do you listen to podcasts? What are your faves? We used to do a more regular podcast where we talked books and book boys and just all the fun stuff we were interested in and I am excited to get to talk to my friends tonight and just catch up!

Happy Saturday my friends!

One of mine was to finish up a few series that have been on my shelves for a while! The only reason I hadn’t read The Triumphant when it came out was because I needed to reread the first two books and I finally did an audio reread and immediately read book 3 after! This series was so good you guys! I highly recommend it! So much action and drama and luck ass gladiatrices! (Is that the word? Lol) I really loved it and hope you grab it if you haven’t already!
