Hello Humans! If you're around in the book blog-o-sphere you've probably heard of today's book, Enchantée by Gita Trelease. I personally first came across this book at YALC (young adult lit con) in July, where they were giving out samplers. I didn't actually take one (I was very strict on 'don't pick it up if you're not... Continue Reading →
The Winter of the Witch, Katherine Arden – Book Review
Hello Humans! You are most welcome to today's review, featuring one of my most anticipated reads for 2019 (and it's only January - what a year we have ahead of us).

Empire of Sands, Tasha Suri – Book Review
Hello humans! It feels like it's been a while, in case you missed my announcement on Twitter I'm going to be changing up the frequency of posts on this blog in the run-up to the new year, life is really busy and my brain is a little broken at the moment. There will still be... Continue Reading →
The Confectioner’s Guild, Claire Luana – Book Review

Otherearth, Jason Segel, Kirsten Miller – Book Review
Hello Humans! Today I'm adding another book to the 'VR' shelf that seems to be growing every few months or so, especially after the Ready Player One success.

Want to Read Wednesdays – Bloodprint
Hello humans! Welcome back to another W2RW post. I actually already own this book, and this post is sort of an instruction to myself to get my arse in gear and actually read it!

The Quantum Magician, Derek Künsken
Hello humans! Today's book review is for another book from my local publisher Rebellion Publishing, the same house who brought us Binary System and Paris Adrift among others. I always enjoy reading books from them as it feels like I'm supporting local publishing (and, more importantly, publishing outside of London). I should also mention that my husband and a few...

Mirage is an own voices Moroccan inspired story and a gorgeous crossover between fantasy and science fiction and I was very lucky to get to read it a little before the release date.
