Hello Humans! I'm still here blasting through May releases like some kind of reading superhero (albeit a superhero that turns up a little bit late once all the fighting is done because she was really busy in April). Today I'm reviewing a YA fantasy Latinx-inspired novel, Maya Motayne's Nocturna. Goodreads Summary: Set in a Latinx-inspired world,... Continue Reading →
Circle of Shadows, Evelyn Skye – Readalong
Hello Humans! As it was promised so it shall be! I finished reading Abhorsen and the TBR tea-cup chose Circle of Shadows, a book I received in the January Fairyloot box as my next read. I will say, I've seen a couple of fairly negative reviews for this one, and I'm not 100% sold on the concept, so I'm... Continue Reading →

Everless, Sara Holland – Book Review
Hello humans! Has it taken me literally months to read this book after receiving it in a Fairyloot box? Why yes it has! Am I kicking myself for not getting to it sooner? Why yes I am! I feel like a lot of the hype for Everless has died down but I still wanted to tell you... Continue Reading →

Wintersong, S. Jae-Jones, Spoiler Free Review
Aloha! The sun is beginning to shine here in Oxford and so it feels entirely appropriate to review a book that has 'winter' in the name, of course! Wintersong was published back in February and fist came to my notice when I was looking through past inclusions in Fairyloot boxes. I managed to bag a... Continue Reading →
