Hello Humans! It's been a while since I wrote a proper dedicated review for a book that wasn't a review copy - I'm feeling a little out of practice! But I read some great stuff in my Book a Day in June reading challenge and I wanted to share some of my favourites with you!... Continue Reading →
Monster She Wrote – Book Review
Hello Humans! Yes, after a little break I am back with extra socks on and I have a lot of great book reviews coming for you in the next week or so. Starting off with a book that I mentioned in my Spooky Reading for Scaredy-Cats video - so this is absolutely perfect for anyone wanting to... Continue Reading →
The Deathless Girls, Kiran Millwood Hargrave – Book Review
Hello Humans! Today I'll be reviewing a book that I've been seeing all over Instagram and Twitter because, quite frankly, it is absolutely stunning. I am talking, of course, about Kiran Millwood Hargrave's The Deathless Girls. Kiran has consistently brought out beautiful books - but, to quote Mary Poppins Returns 'A cover is nice but a cover...

Pan’s Labyrinth, Guillermo del Toro & Cornelia Funke – Book Review
Hello Humans! Now, friends will know that this year I had something of a revelation. Now, please don't judge me, but until this year I fully believed that Pan's Labyrinth and Labyrinth were the same films. Yes, having never seen either I just assumed that the film with David Bowie and the film with the scary hand-eye... Continue Reading →
The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein, Kiersten White – Book Review
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 →
Sawkill Girls, Claire Legrand – Book Review
Hello Humans! I did intend for the whole of October to be dedicated to scary, creepy, or generally just Halloween-themed books, but then there were a lot of new releases that didn't exactly fit the mould and I had to tweak my plans. However, today's book Sawkill Girl certainly hits the mark when it comes to... Continue Reading →
The Sacrifice Box, Martin Stewart ARC Book Review
Hello humans! Those who follow me on Twitter (you should) may have wondered what prompted the following tweet: I make a point of avoiding horror movies but I keep reading horror novels by accident... #whyamilikethis — Judith (chaininteraction) (@judithcmoore) November 12, 2017 Well it was this book. An ARC of which I picked up at... Continue Reading →
There’s Someone Inside Your House, Stephanie Perkins ARC Book Review
Hello humans! I'm excited to keep on with the theme of yesterday which was of course 'books I wouldn't normally read but I actually enjoyed'. Today I'm reviewing a YA contemporary horror novel that I picked up an ARC of at YALC about three months ago. Yes my reading schedule has been that jam packed!... Continue Reading →
Review – Dreams and Shadows, C. Robert Cargill
This book is weird...not that that's a bad thing... Goodreads Summary: There is another world than our own—one no closer than a kiss and one no further than our nightmares—where all the stuff of which dreams are made is real and magic is just a step away. But once you see that world, you will... Continue Reading →
Review – The Trees, Ali Shaw
I don't think it would be wrong of me to assert that I've never before read a book like this. I could probably conjure a whole host of elements from other books that it reminds me of, it has the primal fear of the woods that features in Uprooted, it has the horror and the gore... Continue Reading →
Review – Nevernight, Jay Kristoff
Never Flinch Never Fear Never Forget From what I can tell this is a bit of a marmite book. You're either entranced by the prose or it utterly bores you and you can't finish. Quite happily, I find myself in the first camp. I can see how some people might find this book long winded,... Continue Reading →
The Contrary Tale of the Butterfly Girl, Ishbelle Bee – Review
*Puts down book* ... ... What? I have never read anything quite like this before. I'm not at all sure that was a compliment. All I can say is that the entire time I was reading this I was completely aware of what was going on and at the same time entirely baffled. I think... Continue Reading →
