Hello Humans! Welcome back to another book review. Those of you who watched my recent reading vlog may have seen this one coming - but it's finally time to review N. K. Jemisin's The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms. I picked this up after Gollanczfest last October (which feels aeons ago at this point) so it was about... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! I picked up a copy of Gideon the Ninth on the release date, having preordered it the moment I read the words 'lesbian necromancers'. I then ended up stuck at a train station waiting for a train that I don't think ever came...I read a hundred or so pages and then proceeded to put... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! So I continue to SMASH through my review copies for early March (a trend that surely will not last) and I’m back with another review for a book that will be emerging on shelves on the fifth of March. There Will Come A Darkness is a multiple POV fantasy book with a whole... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! I’m late to the party as always, February has been a weird month for reading but I feel like I’m finally getting back on track with things. With that burst of reading energy I’ve been tackling some of the more lapsed books on my review copy TBR - starting with The Unspoken Name.... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! What’s the longest you’ve ever stuck with a series that didn’t grip you? Where you kept picking up sequels despite knowing you were never going to find a new favourite? Or are you one of those incredibly self-aware people who can rest knowing they read book one and don’t need to pick up... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Bit of a tangent here so skip to below the summary if you want the actual book review! I’m one of, I suspect, many women who have gnarly memories of feeling like an ugly duckling as a teenager. I’m pretty sure I’m a decent enough human being at this point but at age...

Hello Humans! Be honest, when was the last time you *blasted* through a book (that wasn't a re-read). As a fairly fast natural reader I don't really measure things in the actual time it takes me to read them, and more in how long they feel. Does that make sense? You can read two books...

Hello Humans! Who is ready for a snarky private detective fantasy novel? If the answer is not you then buckle up and get ready for The Last Smile in Sunder City. I genuinely had no idea what to expect going into this book and I was a little sceptical at first - so let me... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Confession time, reviewing my owned TBR is probably the thing I am absolutely the worst at. I so often find myself quietly deleting owned books from my ‘reviews to write’ list and settling for a brief ‘I read this, it was good’ in my monthly wrap-up videos (subscribe to my Youtube Channel for...

Hello Humans! If you've been hanging about the blog and the Booktube for some time you'll know that L.L. McNeil's Amarah has been sat on my TBR for an amount of time I can only describe as far too long. This series has a special sentimental spot in my heart as the author was actually the first...

Hello Humans! It feels like a long while since I reviewed a book with dragons in - I think it would have been when I reviewed The Name of All Things back in November. I only have so many months I can go without getting my fix of winged lizards so I was excited to read Eoin Colfer's Highfire... Continue Reading →
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 →
