Hello Humans! We’re all familiar, I would think, with the concept of ‘a book-lover’s book’. These emerge fairly frequently onto bookshop shelves, almost always with gorgeous covers and exclusive editions to tempt us bookworms into parting with our hard-earned cash. More often than not I end up feeling a little disappointed by books like these,... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Who is in the mood for some young adult fantasy? I know I was when I started reading A Throne of Swans, and this upcoming book did not disappoint! If you love ‘cliché’ YA fantasy then you’re in for a treat! Goodreads Summary: When her father dies just before her birthday, seventeen-year-old Aderyn... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Fancy a few more Mini Reviews? After finishing our little Bookaneerathon reading session I slowed down on library reading just a little (there's so much to read guys) - so these aren't coming in as thick and fast as they have been. There's still plenty to be reviewing so I'd better get started!... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! If you come to the blog daily then you may be catching on to a little theme that's happening for the latter part of the week. Yes, I am reviewing all of Tamora Pierce's Immortals quartet as I read them. It's no small task but, having read and loved Wild Magic I was ready to get... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! I have been known to refer to the Frostblood Saga as the most YA series to ever YA. It's not something said as criticism, but rather a useful way of describing this book quickly, it has a lot of the tropes that people love/hate/hate to love/love to hate depending on personal preference. I... 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’m reviewing the first of a trilogy lent to me by a lovely friend who read my review of The Shadowed Sun and thought I might like to read these! The Fifth Season is a fresh take on a post-apocalyptic narrative, a complex and powerful book that I wasn’t expecting to like... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Yes, it is finally the end of June, where May flew by I feel like this month has been pretty slow - probably because I had so much to do! Reading-wise this month has been amazing, I've been doing my 'book-a-day' challenge which has gone a long way to taming my TBR -... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! If you follow me on twitter then you already knew this bonus post was coming. If you don't, why not? Sometimes I retweet pictures of dogs! Aaaaanyway. I'm here to unbox the first ever Wondercrate from Ink & Wonder designs. I didn't realise before but I actually already own a lot of their... Continue Reading →
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. What will the world be like when I publish this I wonder? Can it have got any worse? Has the thing I'm dreading happening happened? I'm married... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! It's the new year, you may have already made your new year's resolutions, but on the off chance you're as disorganised as I am, I've come up with some ideas... 1) Buy fewer books Haha! 2) Stop staring at the covers They are mesmerising, the foil is so sparkly, but your loved ones...
