Hello Humans! Like many of you, I'm sure, I'm always on the look out for books with queer representation - and by that I mean books that explore all the different kinds of identity, I want books that explore sexuality, books that explore gender identity, books that explore attraction, and all the other different facets...

Hello Humans! Back for more are we? Today’s review is for Sea Witch Rising, the sequel to Sea Witch which I reckon I read almost exactly a year ago – it’s nice when things circle around like that! I remembered really enjoying Sea Witch but, when I heard that there was going to be a... Continue Reading →
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 →
Hello humans! Today I am adding to the many reviews that have this year fit into the year of ALL THE RETELLINGS. For those who are new here, for some reason, this year has featured a huge number of retellings both newly published and backlist titles. Today’s book, Louise O’Neill’s The Surface Breaks is a...

Hello Humans! Today I am reviewing Sarah Henning’s Sea Witch, that’s right – it’s time to add to the year of ALL THE RETELLINGS. I read multiple Little Mermaid retellings in June and (because I am a useless human who can’t immediately write book reviews) it took me a moment to tease them all apart!... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! How is it humanly possible that this is another retelling? Seriously? This year I have read more retellings than I have encountered almost my entire reading 'career' thus far. However much I complain, I still adore retellings with a huge portion of my heart and a lot of these have been really good.... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! Welcome back to another Want to Read Wednesday, the part of the week where I share a book I'm looking forward to reading some time soon! Today I'm sharing a March release (is it just me or does your 'new releases' list also keep growing?). Goodreads Summary: Princess Lira is siren royalty and the... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Welcome especially to anyone new joining this blog, I know there has got to be at least one of you! Today I'm reviewing a book that I have had my eye on for quite some time which I was grateful to receive this Christmas. The Seafarer's Kiss is by the same author as The Tiger's... Continue Reading →
When I first saw this book I thought there was no way that anyone could ever pull it off. Seriously. Barring the fact that metal tends to rust underwater, there just didn't seem to be a way to gel my ideas of what constitutes 'steampunk' with the teen culture of mermaids. In some ways I...

I feel like the world at large is gradually moving back away from the unicorn trend towards mermaids. If this means more fantasy books set under the sea then I'm all for it. I don't believe I've ever read a book where the main character was a mermaid before, but I hope this isn't the... Continue Reading →
