Hello Humans! It's finally time for me to read a book that has been sat on my shelf since release day, which is an embarrassingly long time for something I preordered. This year I managed to finally finish the Grisha trilogy and therefore I feel like I can now properly enjoy King of Scars. We shall see...... Continue Reading →
Other Words for Smoke, Sarah Maria Griffin – Readalong
Hello Humans! I know, I've skipped forward in time just a little bit, but for me, this is actually day five of my book a day in June reading challenge! I just finished The Memory of Fire yesterday and this morning started Other Words for Smoke. I had completely failed to realise this is by the same... Continue Reading →
The Memory of Fire, Callie Bates – Readalong
Hello Humans! It is June 4th and - unsurprisingly - the fourth day in my #ABookADay reading challenge. The TBR jar has decreed that my next read shall be The Memory of Fire and, while I can't remember anything that happened in The Waking Land I'm intrigued by the idea of following a different character - we shall...

Kings of the Wyld, Nicholas Eames – Readalong
Hello Humans! It is day two of my #ABookADay reading challenge for June and it's the first book I'll be attempting to read from start to finish - as you'll remember from my readalong for The Light Between Worlds my next read was Nicholas Eames' Kings of the Wyld. I'm a little trepidatious going into this one but I... Continue Reading →
These Rebel Waves, Sara Raasch – Readalong
Hello Humans! If you're here, hopefully, you will have read my previous read along for The Light Between the Worlds where I totally failed and only did one check-in while reading. Well, my intention with this book is to get back into the habit of actually checking in, and writing more than 'I like it so far' which... Continue Reading →
The Light Between Worlds, Laura Weymouth – Readalong
Hello Humans! I promised a swift follow on to my Jade City readalong didn't I? Well, I finished that amazing fantasy novel and jumped right into The Light Between Worlds. I was excited to read this exploration of what happens when the children transported into another world come back, how they cope and what happens next... Goodreads... Continue Reading →
Jade City, Fonda Lee – Readalong
Hello Humans! I promised you a readalong and I am here to deliver. I seem to be in a phase of starting books in waiting rooms of late, and this morning (May 23rd) I started Jade City, a book that has been languishing on my TBR since I went to a book blogger meet up in Birmingham at...

The Glass Spare, Lauren DeStefano – Readalong
Hello Humans! Once again, the long weekends in May are just perfect for cracking into my TBR. I managed to finish The Glass Spare on the Sunday of the May bank holiday weekend and, while I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, I ended up having a good time. Have a read with me as I...

Goldenhand, Garth Nix – Readalong
Hello Humans! I know it's been a while since we've had a readalong and I'm sorry, I've been focussed on whittling down my ARCs and my owned TBR has suffered as a result. But since this weekend is a long weekend I've got some time for some 'reckless' reading and I've finally cracked the cover... Continue Reading →
The Goblin Emperor, Katherine Addison – Readalong
Hello Humans! Welcome to another readalong post, as you may recall from my The Tangled Lands readalong, today (because I do intend to finish this book in a day) I'll be reading The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison. This book was recently released in the UK by Oxford-based publisher Solaris with a stunning foiled cover that just called... Continue Reading →
The Tangled Lands, Paola Bagicalupi, Tobias S Buckell – Readalong
Hello Humans! I'll admit, I was feeling a little defeated after my last readalong, I was heading dramatically slumpwards with no real feeling for what I wanted to read next. Enter the fabled TBR jar which prompted me to read The Tangled Lands. This was the perfect book for me to read as it is just the... Continue Reading →
His Dark Materials, Philip Pullman – Book Review
Hello Humans! Many of you may be expecting a readalong for Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials and honestly, I'd love to give you one. Alas and alack I lost all of the text from my readalong for the first book somewhere in the great internet ethos and then wrote readalong check-ins for book two and none... Continue Reading →
