Hello Humans! As you may know I was absolutely floored by how amazing Children of Time and Children of Ruin were - the first Adrian Tchaikovsky books I read - and so when the opportunity arose to read the newest book from this author I jumped at the chance! The Doors of Eden looked like just the weird wonderful... Continue Reading →
The Girl and the Stars, Mark Lawrence – Book Review
Hello Humans! If I had to guess which of my audiobooks I have listened to the most I'd have to say it's probably Mark Lawrence's Book of the Ancestor series - I like putting them on when I'm not sure what to listen to next. So believe me when I say I know this world pretty... Continue Reading →
The Quantum Garden, Derek Kunsken – Book Review
Hello Humans! Last year I raved about a science fiction book that felt a bit like being punched in the face by a physics textbook but in the best way. Well, to my surprise there was a sequel coming and I was lucky enough to be approved to read a digital advanced review copy of The... Continue Reading →
The Cerulean, Amy Ewing – Readalong
Hello Humans! I don't know if it feels the same to you, but it feels like an age since I read The Ask and the Answer and promised a readalong for The Cerulean. Well...it's finally happening. I've had to sit down and do some serious reading organisation because I was feeling simultaneously overwhelmed by my ARC TBR... Continue Reading →
Stronger, Faster and More Beautiful, Arwen Elys Dayton – Book Review
Hello Humans! Today's review is for a book the likes of which I really haven't seen before. Arwen Elys Dayton's Stronger, Faster and More Beautiful is truthfully one of the most unique books I have read in a long time. There isn't really a way to introduce this one so I say we crack on with... Continue Reading →
Skyward, Brandon Sanderson – Book Review
Hello humans! it's time for my spot on the Skyward Blog tour! There are some amazing other bloggers on this tour so I urge you all to go and check out each post! Small confession to make - I've never read any Brandon Sanderson before. I know. Shameful. I don't know whether it was a... Continue Reading →
Villain, Michael Grant – Book Review
Hello humans! Does anyone remember when I reviewed Killer T? If not I'll hit you with the highlights. Essentially, Robert Muchamore was an author I had read as a teen but stopped reading when his main characters became abominable teenage boys who I just hated. I gave his new book Killer T a chance but found that... Continue Reading →
Vox, Christina Dalcher – Book Review
Hello humans! It feels like months since I read Vox, a book which publishes in just a few weeks. That's actually because it has been months! I read this book back at the end of April when I was in Norway which is AAAAGES ago! But publishing dates are publishing dates and so this review (which I... Continue Reading →
Ascension, Victor Dixen – Book Review
Hello humans! Today’s book review is another example of what I’m starting to think of as a kind of sub-sub-genre. By that, I mean books (and it is mostly YA books) that divide things by gender and make readers looking for intersectionality a little uncomfortable. I’m looking at you Eve of Man. Ascension is, in... Continue Reading →
Charmcaster, Sebastien De Castell – Book Review
Hello humans! I hope you are well and not struggling as much as I am with how darned fast this year is going! I swear this year, the only thing I’m on top of is my Goodreads challenge (it’s the important things). But enough about my spiral into the void! I’m here to review the... Continue Reading →
Infernal Devices, Philip Reeve – Book Review
Hello humans! Welcome to another instalment in my reviews of Philip Reeve’s The Hungry City Chronicles. I’ve already reviewed Mortal Engines and Predator’s Gold. There may, therefore, be spoilers for the previous two books in this review, though I will not be including any major spoilers for Infernal Devices. Aside: am I the only one... Continue Reading →
Obsidio, Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff – Book Review
Hello humans. Ugh. I can’t believe I’m here writing this review. Illuminae was one of the first hyped up books I ever read and reviewed on this blog, it was kind of what pushed me into more of the community of bloggers rather than just sitting on the fringe. It’s also one of the first... Continue Reading →
