Hello Humans! July Judith here writing another review that I know probably won't see the light of day until August/September because I did a lot of reading of review copies in the summer - oh well! Today I'm reviewing an LGBTQ+ novella that I think is something very exciting and special - keep on reading to... Continue Reading →
A Song of Wraiths and Ruin, Roseanne A. Brown – Book Review
Hello Humans! I am inching ever closer to finishing my TBR - it will happen I am determined! One of the most recent books I purchased was a gorgeous copy of Roseanne A. Brown's A Song of Wraiths and Ruin which got me excited not only because it sounded like a fun YA time, but... Continue Reading →
The Sky Weaver, Kristen Ciccarelli – Book Review
Hello Humans! Time to review book three in the Iksari series. To get you back up to speed - I absolutely adored book one (The Last Namsara) thought the second book was ok (The Caged Queen) and then left this book on my review copies TBR until literally the last possible moment - so you can...

The Mermaid, The Witch, and The Sea, Maggie Tokuda-Hall – Book Review
Hello Humans! Like many of you, I'm sure, I'm always on the look out for books with queer representation - and by that I mean books that explore all the different kinds of identity, I want books that explore sexuality, books that explore gender identity, books that explore attraction, and all the other different facets...

Supernova, Marissa Meyer – Book Review

A Memory Called Empire, Arkady Martine – Book Review
Hello Humans! A Memory Called Empire was a book that sort of passed me by when it first came out. I wasn’t totally sold on the whole science fiction thing at the time (oh how times change) and I couldn’t quite work out what it was all about based on brief glimpses of the cover. ...

The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep, H. G. Parry – Book Review
Hello Humans! We’re all familiar, I would think, with the concept of ‘a book-lover’s book’. These emerge fairly frequently onto bookshop shelves, almost always with gorgeous covers and exclusive editions to tempt us bookworms into parting with our hard-earned cash. More often than not I end up feeling a little disappointed by books like these,... Continue Reading →
Starsight, Brandon Sanderson – Book Review
Hello Humans! It’s finally time to review one of my most anticipated releases of 2019 - Brandon Sanderson’s Starsight. I had read Skyward the year before and had been eagerly anticipating the sequel so the moment my preorder came in I was down at the bookshop clutching that new hardback to my chest! But could...

The Shadow Saint, Gareth Hanrahan – Book Review
Hello Humans! There are so many wonderful books publishing at the start of this year, I can barely wrap my head around them all - but I'm doing my best to get reviews written! Today I'm reviewing the second book in Gareth Hanrahan's Black Iron Legacy series, I adored The Gutter Prayer and I was so excited to... Continue Reading →
The Chosen, Taran Matharu – Book Review
Hello Humans! The end of the year is almost always a reading scramble for me (and many others). In my case, it's not a dash to finish my Goodreads challenge, but a desperate attempt to take advantage of the fact that fewer books are published in December - so I can try and get ahead...

Otherlife, Jason Segal & Kirsten Miller – Book Review
Hello Humans! How many ‘virtual/augmented reality’ books have I read and reviewed to date? Honestly, I don’t think I could tell you, it feels like a lot. Interestingly, most of them have been either standalone books or duologies as opposed to series. The one that definitely is a series is the one I am, obviously,... Continue Reading →
Sisters of Shadow and Light, Sara B. Larson – Book Review
Hello Humans! Recently, I feel like most of my reading has been taken up with chunky fantasy books. I love a big book as much as the next person but found I really wanted a bit of a palette cleanser. Enter Sara B. Larson’s book Sisters of Shadow and Light. I realised I actually really... Continue Reading →
