Hello Humans! I picked up a copy of Gideon the Ninth on the release date, having preordered it the moment I read the words 'lesbian necromancers'. I then ended up stuck at a train station waiting for a train that I don't think ever came...I read a hundred or so pages and then proceeded to put... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! I've been on a real fantasy kick lately (by which I mean fantasy that is not YA), I feel like this is the time of year for fantasy releases and my shelves are bowing under the weight of all the amazing books! One such book sent to me by the delightful people at Orbit... Continue Reading →
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.

Hello Humans! I know everyone and their mum is writing a reading goals post for this year, so I'll try to keep this snappy. Put simply, I want to read 250 books this year, the exact same goal as I had in 2018. I actually managed to surpass that goal, reading 288 books last year,... Continue Reading →
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 →
Hello humans! No, that isn't a typo in the title of this blog post, though I can appreciate it may look that way. Rather it is an announcement of my reading plans for November, and what better place to announce it then on the weekly post where I talk about reading plans that very rarely... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Yes I know it's only October but we've got the heating on at home and I'm living exclusively in enormous woolly jumpers and blankets so it feels like the time to start talking about winter reads. I had the opportunity to read Amy Wilson's middle-grade novel Snowglobe and to share my thoughts with you,... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! Today’s review is of Beyond a Darkened Shore, the book from the April Fairyloot box (Whimsical Journeys). I was utterly convinced the book would be Sky in the Deep so it was a nice surprise to receive a book that I hadn’t even heard of instead! I was, nonetheless, a little wary, leading...

Hello Humans! Welcome to my August wrap-up post. As many of you will know this month was mostly taken up by travelling to Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival with the cast of a musical (which I wrote the music for!). I really want to write a separate blog post for that so watch this space.... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! Today I am reviewing the second book in N. K. Jemisin’s The Broken Earth trilogy, I thoroughly enjoyed the first book The Fifth Season and, unusually for me, actually managed to read the next book in a fairly timely manner afterwards. Since it was leaving too long of a gap between books that... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Welcome to my July wrap-up post. I have to say it hasn't been an amazing month for reading (at least for me) but I have got quite a lot of the reviews from last month written so that was satisfying! Books Reviewed I reviewed nineteen books this month, one less than last month... Continue Reading →
