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.

Hello Humans! Yes I did finally get round to reading one of the most well-loved books of the fantasy loving world. I have to say A Darker Shade of Magic did not disappoint. I already knew I was going to love this book because I adored the Monsters of Verity duology. I'm so happy to share with... Continue Reading →
Morning mortals! I am, in many ways, dreading writing this book review because I loathe writing negative reviews. As much I like to complain (I am british after all) I feel some kind of obligation to make my reviews mostly positive. But I cannot, in good conscience, do that for this book which has been...

Morning Mortals! I got to read The Girl in the Tower and it was absolutely everything I wanted it to be and then about 4000% more on top of that. I'm still excited a week later (yeah I am catching up with reviews don't judge me!). I can't wait to get stuck into this review so let's... Continue Reading →
It's got a fair amount of fantasy and buckets of 'sass'* so what did I think of Rebel of the Sands? *So long as we're aware that I don't mean 'sass' as in 'lazy character writing' or 'thinly veiled way of saying the equally cliché 'strong female character'' Goodreads Summary: She’s more gunpowder than girl—and the...

I have things I need to get done why is this book so good? #books #amreading @kierstenwhite — Judith Moore (@judithcmoore) August 4, 2017 Keep in mind those 'things' were moving into and unpacking our new...

Hello m'dears. Despite all my best intentions August has utterly flown by. I can't believe we're almost properly into Autumn, where was the summer? I've got some favourites to share with you with some life updates 'hidden' within! New House = New Bookshelf = More Books Right? We moved! That's right, the fiance and I... Continue Reading →
Hello all! back with another Top Ten Tuesday for your reading pleasure. I'm having a tricky time with a few of these themes but it is fun to be challenged. This week was a particularly difficult one because I feel like I read mainly 'mainstream' titles so instead of 10 books I've chosen to share... Continue Reading →

I feel like this almost doesn't need to be said. Every single Leigh Bardugo book I have encountered thus far I have absolutely adored. Normally there would be one or two things I didn't like about one book. But no. All of them I have adored. So it will come as no surprise to you... Continue Reading →
Quick! Speedily nip back in time to my post on Six of Crows before you read this one as I'm going to attempt not to repeat myself too much (also there could be a couple of spoilers for book one here so be warned). I didn't know Six of Crows could be topped but with everyone... Continue Reading →
Good morning my lovelies! (It may not be morning, if so I hope your next morning is good. Back in July you may remember my review of Naondel, which is actually the second book in The Red Abbey Chronicles.
