Hello humans! Last Wednesday I announced that I was planning on focussing my reading in November to the books that I own since recently it feels like I've just been reading ARCs while my pile of books at home just grows and grows. I thought it would help to make some kind of a TBR... Continue Reading →

Your One & Only, Adrianne Finlay ARC Review
Good morning mortals! For those interested, I'm writing this blog post months and months in advance of me actually publishing it, which feels appropriate when reviewing science fiction.

Melokai, Rosalyn Kelly Book Review

Valiant Dust, Richard Baker – Book Review
Morning mortals! What's this? My first ever foray into military science fiction (knowingly at least). Valiant Dust appealed to me largely because of how striking that cover is, but it's also fun to branch out into other genres/sub-genres. You never know what might surprise you. On that note... Goodreads Summary: Sikander Singh North has always had... Continue Reading →

Morning Mortals! I hope your December is going well and if not I hope it gets better for you soon! Today's review is for a quick read - I normally don't pick these up because I know it will only take me a couple of hours to read and I never feel like I've achieved... Continue Reading →
Coldmaker, Daniel A. Cohen book review
Hello humans! It's certainly chilly in my neck of the woods at the moment, I've invested in a lot of knitwear and I've drunk an ocean of tea and hot chocolate but I'm still a little chilly. What better time to read a book set in a place so hot that cold becomes a commodity? Enter Coldmaker... Continue Reading →
Seventh Decimate, Stephen R. Donaldson Book Review
