Hello Humans! Welcome back to another book review. I am feeling in control of my list of reviews to write so hopefully I should have a few bits and pieces for you in the coming weeks that aren't just review copies! I picked up Song of the Crimson Flower when I saw that the publisher... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! We ready to get back into some YA? I thought we might be. Are we even more ready for an ownvoices Black lesbian fairytale dystopian YA? Well duh. Goodreads Summary: It’s 200 years after Cinderella found her prince, but the fairy tale is over. Teen girls are now required to appear at the... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Today I'm getting into a fairytale, but this time it isn't a retelling - this book has been described as an 'original fairytale' and you all know that is one of my absolute favourite things to read. Let's see how Girl, Serpent, Thorn went? Goodreads Summary: There was and there was not, as all stories... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Today’s review should be short and sweet as I’m pretty sure all I have to do is show you some photos of this book from my bookstagram and you’ll know if it’s a yes or a no for you. I’m mostly kidding, I’m gonna talk about the story too - but The Sleeper... Continue Reading →
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 →
Hello Humans! If you've already watched my August TBR video you'll know that I was a little trepidatious about reading the third book in Connie Glynn's Rosewood Chronicles series. My biggest problem with these books to date is that they have felt incredibly queer bait-y and haven't managed to do anything more than hint at... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Who is ready for another Readalong? I know I am *fake children cheering sound*. Right, as you'll recall from my readalong of The Graces the next book chosen by my TBR Tea-cup was Blanca & Roja by Anna-Marie McLemore. I read Wild Beauty early on in 2018 and really enjoyed it, but the fairytale quality of... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! I'm going to preface this review with a disclaimer, I am writing this review in 2018, in November in fact. Part of the fun of this book reviewing lark is that you get to read things quite a way in advance, but that does mean you have to do a little bit of... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! I'll start by saying I had no idea how to write this review. This book is complicated and in some ways, I am all for it and in others, I think it could be done differently and...oh I don't know. With that in mind, if some segments of this review are just word... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Welcome back to another week of book reviews! Incidentally, I'm away at a rather large exhibition this week (work things) so it may take me longer than usual to get to your lovely comments - don't be offended, I'll be there soon! Anyway, today I am reviewing a collection of short stories, something I haven't... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! This year, as many of you will know, I’ve been reading quite a few retellings, I’ve been calling this ‘the year of ALL THE RETELLINGS’ and so far, it has been an amazing adventure into how people twist and turn fairy tales into brand new stories. So, when I had the opportunity to... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! Welcome to the first W2RW post of August! (Apologies for the lack of post last week - I was locked out of my computer all day). Today I'm getting very excited about reading Brigid Kemmerer's A Curse so Dark and Lonely. Goodreads Summary: Fall in love, break the curse. It once seemed so easy... Continue Reading →
