Hello Humans! Some of my Twitter followers may recognise that Emily Eternal was the first book featured in my #NonStopNetgalley readathon, kindly co-hosted by my good pal Asha from A Cat, A Book and a Cup of Tea. Feeling a little behind on my ARCs I set out on a quest to read one book a day... Continue Reading →
August Wrap-Up
Hello Humans! Welcome to my August wrap-up post. As many of you will know this month was mostly taken up by travelling to Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival with the cast of a musical (which I wrote the music for!). I really want to write a separate blog post for that so watch this space.... Continue Reading →
Want to Read Wednesday – Book Recommendations Wanted
Hello humans! I sat down to write this W2RW post and I realised I had no idea what I wanted to write about. It isn't that there aren't books I want to read (trust me, the list is pretty much endless) but I wasn't sure which of them people would want to hear about. It... Continue Reading →
Vox, Christina Dalcher – Book Review
Hello humans! It feels like months since I read Vox, a book which publishes in just a few weeks. That's actually because it has been months! I read this book back at the end of April when I was in Norway which is AAAAGES ago! But publishing dates are publishing dates and so this review (which I... Continue Reading →
Vicious, V E Schwab – Book Review
Hello humans! Yes, you read that title correctly, it is time to review Vicious. You know those books you love so much that you don’t want to review them in case it changes your mind? Yeah, this was one of those books for me. I’ve been pondering what I could possibly say that would explain... Continue Reading →
Champion, Marie Lu – Book Review
Hello humans! Welcome to the final instalment of my reviews of Marie Lu’s books (until I eventually get around to reading Warcross but honestly my TBR is currently the size of a young killer whale so I don’t know when that will be). I have enjoyed this series more than I could have ever imagined... Continue Reading →
All Rights Reserved, Gregory Scott Katsoulis – Book Review
Hello humans! I am so thrilled to be finally writing this book review (it has been one of those reviews that I’ve had sorted in my head for a while but have yet to put metaphorical pen to metaphorical paper). All Rights Reserved is one of the books I read when I was on holiday... Continue Reading →
City of Fallen Angels, Cassandra Clare – Book Review
Hello humans! Is now the time to reveal I have yet to read all the Cassandra Clare books? I suppose it is. What can I say? I read the original trilogy (City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass) way back in a period of late night insomnia but then never got round to... Continue Reading →
Prodigy, Marie Lu – Book Review
Hello humans! We’re on part…5(?) of my journey through the adventures of Marie Lu’s writing (do we count Batman?) Anyway, this is a review of the second book in the Legend series Prodigy. I was left hooked after book one and immediately had to read the next. YA dystopian trilogies are my jam, but second... Continue Reading →
Frogkisser, Garth Nix – Book Review
Hello humans! I’ve said it before and I will continue to proclaim it from the rooftops until someone calls the authorities and demands I get down. 2018 is the year of ALL THE RETELLINGS. I know that, in part, that’s just my reading taste showing it’s true colours as I continue to buy retellings but... Continue Reading →
Legend, Marie Lu – Book Review
Hello humans! So upon finishing The Young Elites series, I still hadn’t got quite enough of Marie Lu. That sounds somewhat more ominous than I meant it to…I mean her books (of course). So I decided to jump right in with the Legend series which, while it is very different from The Young Elites is... Continue Reading →
Undercover Princess, Connie Glynn – Book Review
Hello humans! I will forever be grateful to my local library’s eBook service for letting me read hundreds of wonderful books for free without having to leave the comfort of my bed (or sofa or comfy chair or wherever else I happen to be). One such book was Undercover Princess which I first came across... Continue Reading →
