Vassa in the Night, Sarah Porter – Book Review
Morning mortals! Today's book review is for a book which I feel as though I have had on my TBR for ages! Back when I was at the start of this book blogging journey Vassa in the Night called to me from people's shelves (was it a Fairyloot book one time? That might explain it?). I... Continue Reading →
Where the Stars Rise, ARC Book Review
Hello Humans! Another anthology? I've been converted. A year ago I saw them as no more than things that would induce a reading slump. Now I'm actively searching for them. If you can find a theme you're into they can be a great way to discover new authors and get just a flavour of many... Continue Reading →
10 Books I Didn’t Get to in 2017 – TTT
Hello humans! This week's TTT post ties in quite nicely with my W2RW wrap-up post from the end of last year. It's always a little tricky to look back at all the reading you didn't quite manage to do but I'm hoping it will motivate me to reach my goals this year! Top Ten Tuesday... Continue Reading →
Wonder Woman: Warbringer, Leigh Bardugo – Book Review
Morning mortals! Today's review is me smashing another Want to Read Wednesday (ok is it still smashing if it is months after I originally posted it? More like lightly crumpling...). But yes, those following this blog will know that Leigh Bardugo quickly became one of my favourite authors this year and so I couldn't neglect her... Continue Reading →
Creative ways to Squeeze more Reading into a Busy Schedule
Hello humans! Today's post is a little different to my usual book reviews. Don't fret, I'll be back sharing my ramblings and witterings soon but one of my goals for 2018 is to include more non-review posts on the blog and to see how they go. Do you ever find yourself wishing there were more... Continue Reading →
The Raven Boys, Maggie Stiefvater – Book Review
Hello Humans! Tis I with a book review that's been a long time coming. I forget who exactly it was that got me excited about reading The Raven Boys. I suspect it was Paper Fury but honestly I'm not sure. Either way, I picked up TRB as part of a Blackwells 3 for 2 deal and I... Continue Reading →
The Empress, S.J. Kincaid Book Review
Morning mortals! Am I late to this party? Most probably since The Empress published back in November, but this isn't the longest I've left it to review a sequel by any means! This was one of my anticipated sequels for the year, I enjoyed The Diabolic, giving it 4/5 stars and I am excited to share what... Continue Reading →
Want to Read Wednesday – Spinning Silver
Morning mortals! First W2RW of 2018?! How can this be? Time is speeding by so fast! What can one do but get excited about all the amazing books to read in 2018.

A Skinful of Shadows, Frances Hardinge Book Review
Morning mortals! Frances Hardinge was a new author to me this year (one of a whole host actually! I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Lie Tree earlier in the year, so when I saw A Skinful of Shadows in all of it's gorgeous hardback glory on sale in Foyles I just couldn't resist! Goodreads Summary: This is the... Continue Reading →
Melokai, Rosalyn Kelly Book Review
Hello humans! I have to confess a slight on my part. Rosalyn kindly approached me back in September and asked if I would like to read and review her book Melokai. I said I would love to but might not get to it until after October what with the wedding and the other life events that... Continue Reading →
Too Like the Lightning, Ada Palmer – Book Review
Morning mortals! More science fiction today, and a quite hefty dose of philosophy. I've got a lot to say about this one so I think it's better we get straight to the reviewing. Goodreads Summary: Mycroft Canner is a convict. For his crimes he is required, as is the custom of the 25th century, to... Continue Reading →
