Hello Humans! I'm excited to be bringing you a review of another Novella - anyone else feel as though this format is on the rise? - and none other than Zen Cho's The Order of the Pure Moon Reflected in Water which was very firmly on my 'hope to read in 2020' list! Goodreads Summary: Zen... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Ever wondered what happened to that half-finished novel that you sometimes think about finishing? Well, imagine if you discovered it went to a library full of similarly unfinished books that just so happened to be housed in hell. Add in a grumpy librarian, a muse, a dubious hero and a demon who is more... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Lately, it would seem that the fae (fey, fairies – you get the gist) are making a comeback – ok, one could argue they never left. But with the resounding success of Holly Black’s Folk of the Air series I don’t think it could be denied that the fae are somewhat en vogue.*... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Some of my Twitter followers may recognise that Emily Eternal was the first book featured in my #NonStopNetgalley readathon, kindly co-hosted by my good pal Asha from A Cat, A Book and a Cup of Tea. Feeling a little behind on my ARCs I set out on a quest to read one book a day... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! What do we think of Phoenixes (is that the plural? - a cursory google suggests it could be that or just ‘Phoenix’). Are we fans? Well if you are then I think you’ll enjoy today’s review as there are Phoenix galore. No, I don’t like that at all, I’m going to use Phoenixes.... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! I know, it's been a while since my last readalong. But it's not because I haven't been reading, it would have just been too much to lug this rather hefty hardback up to Scotland and back - so now I'm firmly on the ground back in Oxford I am delighted to be able... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! If you've been around on this blog for a little while you'll know that I've reviewed every book in the Harbinger series so far - and I'm not stopping now. What started out as a fun series with orphans and skyships and regency-style social rules has morphed into a political drama the likes of... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! I believe I’m right in saying that this is the third Charlie N Holmberg book I’ve reviewed on this blog, with The Fifth Doll and The Plastic Magician taking the first two spots. I have also read Magic Bitter, Magic Sweet but it was a little too strange for my tastes. So, with... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Those who read my readalong for Elantris will have seen this coming, those that didn't - surprise! I actually listened to the first two books in this series Sabriel and Lirael on audiobook so this is my first read of a book in the Abhorsen series and I'm very excited. I'm actually battling with some side effects to... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Today's review is for upcoming adult fantasy The Wolf in the Whale. I was on a bit of an adult fantasy kick at the end of last year, largely because I was attempting to read the last few items on my NetGalley shelf and I had been procrastinating some of the adult titles. It... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! It's part four of my series looking at some of my favourite tropes or features in books and after a bit of thinking I'm super excited for today's post. Anyone who knows me in real life knows that my life will be made as soon as I have a pet dog of my... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! Today’s review is for a book that was graciously lent to me by Asha at A Cat, A Book, and a Cup of Tea. Heroine Complex is a book I had never heard of before she mentioned it and I am so grateful to have had the chance to read it! Asha talked... Continue Reading →
