Hello Humans! Welcome to the review for one of my MOST ANTICIPATED books of 2021. I'm grateful to whatever benevolent deity (or...you know...publisher) who decided to publish this in February as I can't imaging having to wait a moment longer to experience the sheer delight of Becky Chambers' writing. So how does the fifth work... Continue Reading →
Witherward, Hannah Mathewson – Book Review
Hello Humans! I'm back with another new release book review, this time for Hannah Mathewson's Witherward which is coming out on February 16th from Titan Books. I have mixed feelings about this one... Goodreads Summary: Welcome to the Witherward, and to a London that is not quite like our own. Here, it’s summertime in February,... Continue Reading →
The Archive of the Forgotten, AJ Hackwith – Book Review
Hello Humans! It's sequel time - I've been very excited about reading the sequel to The Library of the Unwritten for quite some time and I was very excited to have a digital review copy (yes this review is going up after pub date January was very busy let's not dwell!). I loved the adventure... Continue Reading →
Fireheart Tiger, Aliette De Bodard – Book Review
Hello Humans! If you've been here since the very beginning (few of you I suspect but you never know) you may recall that Aliette De Bodard's House of Shattered Wings was one of the early books I read and reviewed for this channel. Since then I've read a lot of what she has written and... Continue Reading →
Curse of the Divine, Kim Smejkal – Book Review
Hello Humans! One thing I love about reading the first book in a new series is that promise of sequels, of more to come. It can be a long wait in some cases but it is almost always satisfying to see what happens next for characters, in some case for an entire world. Last year... Continue Reading →
Fable, Adrienne Young – Book Review
Hello Humans! Full disclosure - in case you have a gander at my goodreads and nothing makes sense - I'm writing this review way back in November of 2020. So if any references seem dated that's not because I'm a time traveller...or is that exactly what a time traveller would say? Today I'm reviewing the... Continue Reading →

Across the Grass Green Fields, Seanan McGuire – Book Review
Hello Humans! I've been incredibly into novellas lately - I think some of the storytelling in them is just impeccable. One of the Novellas I knew I wanted to read in 2021 was the latest installment of the Wayward Children series. Although my physical copy is delayed in transit I was kindly given a free...

Black Sun, Rebecca Roanhorse – Book Review
Hello Humans! December Judith here again speaking to you from the past where I just finished Black Sun - which I've been wanting to read for bloomin' ages! It was a Space Sirens Book Club pick earlier in 2020 and I was delighted to (after that bookclub had moved on) get a digital review copy... Continue Reading →
The Mask of Mirrors, M A Carrick – Book Review
Hello Humans! December Judith here writing reviews for 2021 releases and feeling very confused about time and the inevitable heat death of the universe. But to distract myself from that kind of thinking I like to pour myself into reading and OOOH there are some good books coming in the next year. One such book... Continue Reading →
Raybearer, Jordan Ifueko – Book Review
Hello Humans! I've been reading some truly wonderful stuff over the past month or so - a lot of which (shock horror) aren't review copies! I'm determined to write the reviews for the ones I have loved and here we are! Everyone and their mum has been talking about how great Raybearer is so when... Continue Reading →
The Sun’s Devices, Rebecca Levene – Book Review
Hello Humans! Back for more book reviews I see? Well I suppose I could dig one out for you. I have no idea if anyone reading this blog has been here since 2017 - I suspect the answer is no but hey if that's you then hello thanks for being so supportive. Back in 2017... Continue Reading →
