Hello Humans! This may be a difficult one to write so forgive me if things get a little waffley... With that in mind let's jump straight in without too much preamble. Goodreads Summary: A sweeping tale of revolution and wonder in a world not quite like our own, A Declaration of the Rights of Magicians is a... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! How much do you know about the early life of Edgar Allan Poe? Not much? Me neither! So I thought it would be fun to learn some things about this famous author’s teen/young adult years with a bit of a gothic twist (of course) in Cat Winters’ new book The Raven’s Tale. I...

Hello Humans! You know the drill by this point, I read the book and every so often I stop and tell you how I'm feeling about it, it's simple yet effective and I have a great time doing it. In this post, as I said in my readalong for Circle of Shadows, I'll be reading Nothing but... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Welcome back to another book review, today I'm very excited to be reviewing YA historical mystery novel Between Before and After by Maureen Doyle McQuerry.

Hello Humans! Welcome to another 'episode' of Judith reads outside her comfort zone. Today I'm reviewing upcoming historical fiction novel Blackberry and Wild Rose, not a genre I am completely unfamiliar with, but not one that I tend to read by choice.

I didn't actually take one (I was very strict on 'don't pick it up if you're not... Continue Reading →

Hello Humans! Today I am reviewing one of the books I read as part of my OWNVEMBER challenge. I tasked myself with reducing the number of owned books I had (by which I mean non-arcs) on my TBR. One of the first books I read was also one of my most anticipated reads for the... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! How many times on this blog have I mentioned my degree is in classical archaeology and ancient history? Too many? Well, one of the reasons I wanted to study archaeology alongside history is that I feel it’s one of the best ways to encounter the people who are missing from our historical sources....

Hello humans! Today’s review is brought to you by the sense of horror I experienced when I realised how long this book sat on my shelf before I actually read it (and then how long it took me to write and publish the review). In my defence, this was one of those ‘third book in... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! Today’s review is another example of my recent move to step outside of my reading comfort zone on occasion. On this occasion, I stepped into the world of Historical Fiction. I’ve done this in the past with books like Lady Mary and you all know my obsession with alternative historical fiction series And... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! I was struggling to come up with something for today's post, I've been so focused on reading the phenomenal pile of books I have built up around myself that I haven't been looking into the future all that much.
