Hello Humans! The January publications just keep on coming, don't they? I first came across today's read when at YALC back in July, there was the usual mad dash in (or slow shuffle for those trapped in hellish queues) and every morning it seemed people were falling over each other to grab an arc of...

Hello Humans! Ever wondered what would happen to storybook characters in the modern world (and want something darker than OUAT?) - look no further than the second book in Melissa Albert's The Hazel Wood series. The Night Country is a thriller-meets-fantasy book coming out in early January. I've managed to snag an early copy so I can... Continue Reading →
I recently reviewed The Wendy, a fantasy novel with a new take on the classic Peter Pan - well I'm back with the sequel. *Imagine punchy movie-trailer sound effects here*. It's actually pretty rare that I get to read two books in a series so close to one another, so I was pretty excited to go into... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Are you ready for my review of one of my favourite reads of the year so far? I'm talking, of course, about Frances Hardinge's Deeplight. I mean, this book had everything going for it, it's about the ocean and stories and it was written by one of my absolute favourite authors. I was so... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Yes, after a little break I am back with extra socks on and I have a lot of great book reviews coming for you in the next week or so. Starting off with a book that I mentioned in my Spooky Reading for Scaredy-Cats video - so this is absolutely perfect for anyone wanting to... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! It is officially spooky season, I have made a tiny witch hat for my Mia Corvere figurine and I'm ready for some scary stories. When the lovely people at Titan asked if I wanted to read their latest short story compilation Hex Life I basically couldn't resist! Goodreads Summary: These are tales of wickedness......

Hello Humans! Last year I raved about a science fiction book that felt a bit like being punched in the face by a physics textbook but in the best way. Well, to my surprise there was a sequel coming and I was lucky enough to be approved to read a digital advanced review copy of The... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans. That's right. It's time. You've known it was coming. It's my review of Darkdawn. Oh boy. Spoilers ahead for Nevernight and Godsgrave but spoiler-free for Darkdawn. Goodreads Summary: A ruthless young assassin's journey for revenge comes to a stunning end in the conclusion of this acclaimed epic fantasy trilogy. The Republic of Itreya... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! We've all got them, those authors that - for whatever reason - we just haven't read yet! For a while mine was Brandon Sanderson - but I'm working through that backlog now. So who was next? Well, it felt silly to be friends with Justine from over at I Should Read That and not... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! oh do I have a review for you today! The lovely people over at Harper Collins were kind enough to send me an advanced reader copy of After the Flood, a new post-apocalyptic novel from debut author Kassandra Montag. This book takes on the 'a natural disaster has already happened' setting and roles with it!... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Today I'm reviewing a book that the very kind people at Harper360YA sent me in the post a while back. The Beckoning Shadow was one of those books where I went in with little to no expectations - I wasn't too sure what to expect other than the fact that the main character had... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Today I’m finally sitting down to write the book review for Gods of Jade and Shadow – which was, in fact, the first book I read as part of my A Book A Day in June challenge. I had high hopes going into this book, but I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect... Continue Reading →
