The Wolf of Oren-Yaro, K. S. Villoso – Book Review
Hello Humans! After a bit of a focus on YA, I'm sliding back into some adult fantasy with the help of the delightful Moon who was kind enough to gift me a copy of The Wolf of Oren-Yaro which had been on my 'I really must read that at some point' list for...well...quite some time.... Continue Reading →
Slay, Brittney Morris – Book Review
Hello Humans! Thanks for stopping by for today's review of Brittney Morris' Slay. This book promised to be a "Black Panther-inspired novel about virtual reality, safe spaces and celebrating your identity" which sounded fabulous to me! Goodreads Summary: By day, seventeen-year-old Kiera Johnson is an honors student, a math tutor, and one of the only Black... 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...

Myths and Mortals, Charlie N. Holmberg – Book Review
Hello Humans! Before you start this review I highly suggest that you go back and read my review of the first book in this series Smoke and Summons. I mean, I’m not going to tell you that you have to, I’m not your mum or anything, but I think you’ll get more out of this... Continue Reading →
Crown of Feathers, Nicki Pau Preto – Book Review
Hello Humans! What do we think of Phoenixes (is that the plural? - a cursory google suggests it could be that or just ‘Phoenix’). Are we fans? Well if you are then I think you’ll enjoy today’s review as there are Phoenix galore. No, I don’t like that at all, I’m going to use Phoenixes.... Continue Reading →
Holy Sister, Mark Lawrence – Book Review
Hello Humans! It’s finally time to review one of my most anticipated reads of 2019. There have been quite a few of them early this year (in fact, my next one isn’t until May) and it’s been amazing to get to review so many of them. In this case, the author reached out to bloggers...

Mini Reviews #3 | A Girl Called Shameless, Dark Triumph, Mortal Heart, The Raven Tower
Hello Humans! More mini-reviews? I read six books during our Bookaneerathon weekend and I thought it would be mean to ask you to read all the reviews in one post - so here is part two of my library reads mini-reviews (my third of such posts... this is getting confusing!). All Amazon links are affiliate... Continue Reading →
A Winter’s Promise, Christelle Dabos – Readalong
Hello Humans! I know, it's been a while since my last readalong. But it's not because I haven't been reading, it would have just been too much to lug this rather hefty hardback up to Scotland and back - so now I'm firmly on the ground back in Oxford I am delighted to be able... Continue Reading →
Our Child of the Stars, Stephen Cox – Book Review
Hello Humans! I’ve been so into my readalongs lately that it feels like a hot minute since I’ve written a book review! Having the chance to write a review for a book as cool as Our Child of the Stars is always a little bit daunting, I feel as if I’m going to miss something... Continue Reading →
Mask of Shadows, Linsey Miller – Readalong
Hello Humans! I'm trying something a little...different. I realised at the end of last year that I was pretty much only reviewing the ARCs I had and barely ever wrote reviews for the books I bought, whether they were new titles or backlist books. I want to change that but I'm also aware that the... Continue Reading →
