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! Who is ready for some queer King Arthur? Well if you aren't then this may not be the review for you. I picked up the first book in this duology Once & Future in July of last year and, while I applauded how wonderfully queer it was, I wasn't crazy about the writing - fast... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! I picked up a copy of Gideon the Ninth on the release date, having preordered it the moment I read the words 'lesbian necromancers'. I then ended up stuck at a train station waiting for a train that I don't think ever came...I read a hundred or so pages and then proceeded to put... Continue Reading →

Hello Humans! Who is ready for some queer fantasy? BECAUSE I SURE AS HECK AM. At first, I couldn’t remember why I had requested The Midnight Lie on Netgalley and then (you can watch this on one of my book haul videos) I realised that this was being marketed as an LGBTQIA+ fantasy book and...

Hello Humans! The January publications just keep on coming, don't they? I first came across today's read when at YALC back in July, there was the usual mad dash in (or slow shuffle for those trapped in hellish queues) and every morning it seemed people were falling over each other to grab an arc of...

Hello Humans! It's been a long while since we had a readalong on this blog and today I'm just feeling it - why not do a readalong that breaks my normal readalong rules. No I haven't ever mentioned those rules before thankyou for asking! Normally I stick to the following: Readalongs are for my owned TBR Readalongs... Continue Reading →
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...

Hello Humans! Now, I know I've said this before, but it continues to be true - I will not read contemporary unless there is a very good reason for me to do so. I'm a fantasy girl at heart and if there isn't the potential for magic and dragons then I feel like it's not... Continue Reading →
