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 →
Dragon of Ash and Stars, H. Leighton Dickson – Readalong
Hello Humans! I've had some free time and some books to read so this readalong is coming slightly sooner than I had planned - lucky you! (This is me optimistically writing that at the start of the book so it could be a complete lie and I could be finishing the book after being in... Continue Reading →
Dragon Heart, Peter Higgins – Book Review
Hello Humans! Now those who've been with me for a while, or those who follow me on Twitter will know that I have two loves, Dogs, and Dragons. While there are no dogs in Dragon Heart I was drawn in by the title and the cover, both of which promised me some draconic elements to this... Continue Reading →
The Caged Queen, Kristen Ciccarelli – Book Review
Hello humans! Yes, it is finally time to review one of my most anticipated reads for the latter half of 2018. Back on the fifteenth of September 2017 I reviewed Kristen Ciccarelli's The Last Namsara and absolutely loved it. Now almost a year later I'm here to review the second book The Caged Queen. This book took me... Continue Reading →
These are a Few of my Favourite Tropes – Dragons
Hello humans! Welcome to the third part of my 'favourite tropes' series. If you haven't read them yet I urge you to check out my musings on Strong Female Characters and Women Inventors. Today's trope - I'm not sure it counts as a trope. It's more of a character and a setting feature all rolled into one.... Continue Reading →
Want to Read Wednesday – Iron Hearted Violet
Hello humans! Normally, when I'm working out which book to choose for W2RW I explore my want to read shelf on Goodreads. However, I recently went through and added a LOT of 2019 releases to that shelf and, while I am very excited about them, I don't want to talk about them almost a year... Continue Reading →
Tess of the Road, Rachel Hartman – Book Review
Hello humans! It’s no secret that I adore both Seraphina and Shadow Scale for many reasons, but largely the dragons. So as soon as I realised there was going to be another book in the same setting I was the most excited I had been for a long time. I pre-ordered it instantly and basically... Continue Reading →
Even the Darkest Stars, Book Review
HAPPY CHRISTMAS MORTALS! (Ok it's not christmas when I'm writing this but it will be when I post it so hello future me hope you got all the books you wanted).

Want to Read Wednesday – Tess of the Road
Hello humans! This W2RW must come as no surprise to anyone who's been following the blog for a while. Seraphina and Shadow Scale are two of my all time favourite books so of course I am excited about Tess of the Road. In the medieval kingdom of Goredd, women are expected to be ladies, men are their protectors, and... Continue Reading →

I am so beyond excited to write this review because ever since I read this book I've wanted someone to squee about the book with and now I get to tell all of you dear readers about how AMAZING it is.

My Top 5 Books that Feature…DRAGONS!
It is a fact commonly known (to me) that the one thing that can improve any book or book series is in fact a Dragon. I think it's partly because they are just so fantastical that they instantly let you know the kind of world you are in and the level of magic and fantasy... Continue Reading →
Be still my clockwork heart! Magpie’s Song, Allison Pang Book Review
This book hit all of my steampunk loving, fantasy obsessed, strong female character buttons and I am so excited to get to share my feelings with you! Goodreads Summary: In the slums of BrightStone, Moon Children are worth less than the scrap they must collect to survive. It doesn’t matter that these abandoned half-breeds are... Continue Reading →
