Hello humans! As some may have noticed I’ve been dropping a few more examples of middle-grade titles into my reading schedule these past few months, generally it’s been an incredibly positive experience, I think a lot of the settings and characters in middle-grade titles have the whimsy that somehow rarely gets written into either YA...

Hello humans! Last week I started a series where I'm planning on talking about some of my favourite tropes in fiction (particularly science fiction and fantasy). Last week I talked about strong female characters, which does tie into this week's trope. I want to talk about one of my absolute favourite tropes - women inventors.... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! Thank you for joining me today as I review another amazing book by the wonderful Frances Hardinge. I have absolutely no idea why I don’t just up and buy everything this author has ever written as so far I have loved each book I have read. The Lie Tree was phenomenal, A Skinful...

Hello Humans and welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday post. This week's theme is 10 series I have given up on. I personally think 'given up on' may be a bit of a strong phrase as most of these are just series that fell by the wayside. Nevertheless here are my ten picks: Top Ten... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! I have been getting into reading Middle-Grade a little more recently (I blame Asha) and one such book that caught my eye was Brightstorm. I think this book has just the most gorgeous cover, for starters, but then reading it I was utterly enchanted. Let me tell you why... Goodreads Summary: Twins Arthur and Maudie receive...

Hello humans! Normally, when I'm working out which book to choose for W2RW I explore my want to read shelf on Goodreads.

Hello humans! I’ve said it before and I will continue to proclaim it from the rooftops until someone calls the authorities and demands I get down. 2018 is the year of ALL THE RETELLINGS. I know that, in part, that’s just my reading taste showing it’s true colours as I continue to buy retellings but... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Another book review rears it's head as the year continues on at a pace. I've reviewed some of the other books in this series in the past and I was delighted to be approved to read the latest in the series Quests for Glory in advance of publication so I could tell you all...

Prison break plots can make the most exciting books, I feel. So when the opportunity to read Prisoner of Ice and Snow arose I couldn't resist. This is listed as a Middle Grade title (but I'm 22 and I loved it) and involves many feats of daring do and a lovely sisterly bond, who could ask... Continue Reading →
Long term followers of Chaininteraction may remember way back when I did a review of the first book in The Huntress series Sea. I definitely enjoyed reading it and it gave me a big smile when I saw the physical copies of it in my local bookshop so I was excited to have been given the opportunity... Continue Reading →
Why hello again, nice to see you (just kidding I can't actually see you). Hope you're doing alright. I've been hitting my stride on the reading lately but I've been a little lackadaisical when it comes to writing reviews so this is the start of a 'write all the reviews' odyssey. When Shaun Hume emailed... Continue Reading →
