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...

Into the Crooked Place, Alexandra Christo – Book Review
Hello Humans! As many of you will recall, To Kill a Kingdom was one of my favourite retellings of last year.

Into the Crooked... Continue Reading →

October Wrap-Up
Hello Humans! I realised, mere moments ago, that I had not written this month's wrap-up post yet. I thought about just letting this one fall under the radar, especially given that I have both OWNVEMBER and NANOWRIMO to get started on.
