It's been a great month for me book-wise (going on holiday will do that for you) and I'm thrilled with how you guys have liked some... Continue Reading →
TTT – Ten Characters I liked in Books I Didn’t
Hello humans! It's Top Ten Tuesday and once again it's quite a tricky theme! Often the reason I don't like a book is that I don't like the characters. Nevertheless, I wanted to have a root through some books and pull out some great characters in some not-so-great books! Goodreads | My Review As much... Continue Reading →
The Young Queens, Kendare Blake – Book Review
Hello humans! I’ve been working my way through the Three Dark Crowns series over the last year or so, since YALC 2017 and in anticipation of the end of the series which I believe is happening this year. I was therefore delighted to find that the novella/prequel The Young Queens was available on my Library’s... Continue Reading →
TTT – 10 Books that Take Place in Another Country
Hello humans! Todays TTT topic is HARD! I wanted to choose books that were set in countries other than the UK (and just using the US feels like cheating) but also I wanted to avoid just using 'well it's a fantasy land' because I could basically use every book I have ever read. This is... Continue Reading →

The Language of Thorns, Leigh Bardugo – Book Review
Hello humans! You may have noticed in the year-or-so that I've been blogging that I have developed something of an affection for Leigh Bardugo. I've read her Six of Crows duology and adored it, I've cooed over Wonder Woman: Warbringer, and I've started and loved the Grisha series. I was, of course, delighted to add Bardugo's collection of...

February Wrap-Up
Hello humans! It's been a while since I've had the patience to write a wrap-up post but since February is a shorter month I thought it would be a good way of easing myself back into things! Books Reviewed I reviewed 18 books this month, of which 10 were ARCs which is a pretty good... Continue Reading →
One Dark Throne, Kendare Blake – Book Review
Hello humans! I'm catching up on my TBR from last year (or my 'want to reads' from last year at least! I loved the first book in this series (Three Dark Crowns) and am extremely grateful to my darling husband who bought me the sequel for Christmas. If you're into murder, plots, and subterfuge then these... Continue Reading →
The Extinction Trials, S. M. Wilson – Book Review

I know everyone and their mum has already written a review for this book, but I'm reviewing everything I read this year and I'd really love to tell you what I thought about one of the most talked about YA books from early this year.

To Kill a Kingdom, Alexandra Christo – ARC Book Review
Hello humans! How is it humanly possible that this is another retelling? Seriously? This year I have read more retellings than I have encountered almost my entire reading 'career' thus far. However much I complain, I still adore retellings with a huge portion of my heart and a lot of these have been really good.... Continue Reading →
Want to Read Wednesday – The Plastic Magician
Morning mortals! I cannot express how surprised I was when I realised that this book was coming. I read The Paper Magician series way back when I was very ill and absolutely loved it. It's kind of my definition of a comfort read. Not too challenging, with an interesting plot, but also the kind of thing you... Continue Reading →

Hello humans! Today's TTT post is a 'love' freebie, so I thought I'd highlight 10 books which have a romance plot in them that doesn't distract from the plot or take over everything. Put simply, 10 books that have romance but don't suck! TTT is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and is one of my favourite... Continue Reading →
