Hello Humans! It's been a good time for sequels lately, and now that I actually have the time to re-read you can best believe I have been devouring both the originals and the new releases. One such sequel for which I was incredibly excited was Hollow Empire the follow on to one of my favourite... Continue Reading →
Hard Time, Jodi Taylor – Book Review | Blog Tour
Hello Humans! I'm going to do the slightly weird thing of prompting you to go to another blogger right at the start of this review. Because...in some ways I am back to my old habits. I am kind of reading a series out of order. Now in this case it's a bit complicated because it's... Continue Reading →
Widow’s Welcome, D.K. Fields – Book Review
Hello Humans! I’m doing some catching up on reviews today which is very fun and satisfying (I’ve made a big list for the sole purpose of the extasy that comes with ticking things off). One such recent read was Widow’s Welcome, a book which first came to my attention in a copy of the Bookseller.... Continue Reading →
Sanctuary, VV James – Book Review
Hello Humans! I’ve mentioned going along to the Gollancz blogger evening a few months ago – a great night hearing about all their upcoming releases, and mentally adding everything to my TBR. Well, at that event we got to hear from Vic James about her trip to Salem and how in inspired and influenced her... Continue Reading →
Fallible Justice, Laura Laakso – Readalong
Hello Humans! It is that time again, for me it is day six of my 'book a day' reading challenge and I'm tackling Laura Laakso's Fallible Justice and I am too excited to write an intro I just wanna get stuck in. Goodreads Summary: In Old London, where paranormal races co-exist with ordinary humans, criminal... Continue Reading →
The Girl who Could Move Sh*t with her Mind, Jackson Ford – Book Review
Hello Humans! Have you ever wanted telekinetic powers (or a variation thereof)? Well, today’s book might be enough to put you off for good! I’ll confess I was mainly moved to request a review copy of this book based on the title - who wouldn’t be intrigued by that - and this book pretty much... Continue Reading →
Spectacle, Jodie Lynn Zdrok – Book Review
Hello Humans! Welcome to today's book review, where I'll be telling you my thoughts on the historical, fantasy, mystery novel: Spectacle by Jodie Lynn Zdrok. As has been the case with a number of new releases this year, I had no idea what to expect going in, for a woman raised on murder mysteries (Jonathan Creek... Continue Reading →
Between Before & After, Maureen Doyle McQuerry – Book Review
Hello Humans! Welcome back to another book review, today I'm very excited to be reviewing YA historical mystery novel Between Before and After by Maureen Doyle McQuerry. This book certainly falls outside of my 'comfort zone' of science fiction and fantasy, but a combination of the cover and the description lured me in and I thought... Continue Reading →
STAGS, M A Bennet – Book Review
Hello humans! I know that STAGS has been out for a while, but I've only just managed to get round to reading it. I was intrigued by the cover pretty much every time I went into a bookshop, I just couldn't quite work up enough of a reason to buy a copy since this isn't really... Continue Reading →
Blackbird N. D. Gomes Book Review
Morning Mortals! It's time for another edition of 'Judith branches out into contemporary YA because she picked up an ARC at YALC and felt bad not reviewing it'. But that's not a catchy title so let's just call this 'out of my comfort zone'. Goodreads Summary: My name is Alex. I am fifteen years old,... Continue Reading →
Plots, Plans, Politics and Passion. Conspiracy, S.J. Parris Book Review.
They say a varied diet is good for you right? In the interest of keeping my reading diet nice and varied I thought I'd delve into some adult historical fiction. I've seen this book on the Supermarket bookshelf for the last six months or so, so when I found it in the library I thought-why... Continue Reading →
Review – Rivers of London, Ben Aaronovich
Late to the game as ever, but I've heard so many good things about these books that I couldn't resist. That and my foray into the London based sorcerer Matthew Swift had left me with a hankering to read another book set in my capital city. Goodreads summary: Probationary Constable Peter Grant dreams of being... Continue Reading →
