Hello Humans! It's been a while since I wrote a proper dedicated review for a book that wasn't a review copy - I'm feeling a little out of practice! But I read some great stuff in my Book a Day in June reading challenge and I wanted to share some of my favourites with you!... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Back for more are we? Today’s review is for Sea Witch Rising, the sequel to Sea Witch which I reckon I read almost exactly a year ago – it’s nice when things circle around like that! I remembered really enjoying Sea Witch but, when I heard that there was going to be a... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Are we done with retellings yet? It certainly feels like that period of time where everything was a retelling is drawing to a close, I wonder what the next trend will be? Well, because nothing is ever truly gone, I have another retelling for you today. I say retelling - more of an... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! I am so excited to talk about this book. I heard the phrase ‘Robin Hood retelling’ and I was instantaneously on board. This book had me hooked on the concept, the cover, the blurb - I was so ready. But did I fall into the ‘overhyped’ trap? Did my own expectations for this... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! It would seem that the trend of retellings isn't going anywhere (no I am certainly not complaining). But today's retelling is one of Oliver Twist, of which I don't think I've ever read a retelling, though I don't doubt that one exists. I'll confess to never having read the original Dickens and to also not... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! I'm going to preface this review with a disclaimer, I am writing this review in 2018, in November in fact. Part of the fun of this book reviewing lark is that you get to read things quite a way in advance, but that does mean you have to do a little bit of... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! It is at last time to review another of my Ownvember reads, I purchased this book back in October when on a trip to Foyles in London and it took me quite a while to get to reading it but I am so glad I did. Goodreads Summary: The first time the Nightmares... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Today I am reviewing one of the books I read as part of my OWNVEMBER challenge. I tasked myself with reducing the number of owned books I had (by which I mean non-arcs) on my TBR. One of the first books I read was also one of my most anticipated reads for the... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Welcome back to another week of book reviews! Incidentally, I'm away at a rather large exhibition this week (work things) so it may take me longer than usual to get to your lovely comments - don't be offended, I'll be there soon! Anyway, today I am reviewing a collection of short stories, something I haven't... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! How many times on this blog have I mentioned my degree is in classical archaeology and ancient history? Too many? Well, one of the reasons I wanted to study archaeology alongside history is that I feel it’s one of the best ways to encounter the people who are missing from our historical sources....

Hello humans! Welcome to the first W2RW post of August! (Apologies for the lack of post last week - I was locked out of my computer all day). Today I'm getting very excited about reading Brigid Kemmerer's A Curse so Dark and Lonely. Goodreads Summary: Fall in love, break the curse. It once seemed so easy... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Today I am reviewing Sarah Henning’s Sea Witch, that’s right – it’s time to add to the year of ALL THE RETELLINGS. I read multiple Little Mermaid retellings in June and (because I am a useless human who can’t immediately write book reviews) it took me a moment to tease them all apart!... Continue Reading →
