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...

Carmilla, Kim Turrisi – Book Review
Hello Humans! Today's book is another ARC review, this one requested after Asha told me I really ought to read it. When she told me there were lesbian vampires I WAS READY. I confess, before starting this book I hadn't come across the web series on which this book is based, and I've got some thoughts... Continue Reading →
Proud – Book Review
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 →
The Binding, Bridget Collins – Book Review
Hello Humans! Today's book review, as you'll have seen from the title, is for Bridget Collins' The Binding.

Mask of Shadows, Linsey Miller – Readalong
Hello Humans! I'm trying something a little...different.

I want to change that but I'm also aware that the... Continue Reading →
Girls of Paper and Fire, Natasha Ngan – Book Review
Hello Humans! I think I'm probably right in saying that Girls of Paper and Fire is on quite a few people's 'most anticipated' lists for 2018, and with the publication date right around the corner I am delighted to be able to share my thoughts with you. This Asian fantasy takes a familiar story and spins... Continue Reading →
The Navigator’s Touch, Julia Ember – Book Review
Hello humans! I think we all have that one book that we lend to everyone we know. For me that has been The Seafarer's Kiss by Julia Ember. I don't think there is anyone left in my life to whom I haven't talked about this queer retelling of The Little Mermaid. So, naturally, when the chance came to... Continue Reading →
Simon Vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda, Becky Albertalli – Mini Book Review
Hello humans! Am I the latest book blogger to have ever reviewed Simon Vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda? Quite possibly. But nonetheless, I finally got round to reading this book just before seeing the film (I’m a stickler for reading before viewing, with the exception of Tolkien) and I wanted to share a little mini-review...
