Hello Humans! I haven't typically gravitated towards short story collections in the past - I have a real love for getting my teeth stuck into a longer format and really exploring themes and characters in a way that short stories don't - because they're not designed to do that. But Titan books reached out with... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! It is officially spooky season, I have made a tiny witch hat for my Mia Corvere figurine and I'm ready for some scary stories. When the lovely people at Titan asked if I wanted to read their latest short story compilation Hex Life I basically couldn't resist! Goodreads Summary: These are tales of wickedness......

Hello Humans! Remember back when I reviewed Paris Adrift? Well, I reckon it's been about that long since I read a book featuring time travel - so it's probably time to review another. Nina Allan's The Silver Wind has recently been re-released by Titan books, who were kind enough to send me a copy to review. I... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! I want to start this review post by thanking Justine from I Should Read That for not only recommending these books to me but also for lending me her copies. Go on over and show her some love on my behalf! I have wanted to read these novellas since I first saw them on... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! I'll admit, I was feeling a little defeated after my last readalong, I was heading dramatically slumpwards with no real feeling for what I wanted to read next. Enter the fabled TBR jar which prompted me to read The Tangled Lands. This was the perfect book for me to read as it is just the... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Now, I know I've said this before, but it continues to be true - I will not read contemporary unless there is a very good reason for me to do so. I'm a fantasy girl at heart and if there isn't the potential for magic and dragons then I feel like it's not... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Today's review is for another anthology from Rebellion Publishing here in Oxford. I recently reviewed The Outcast Hours which was good but wasn't quite my cup of tea, so I was unsure as to how I would find New Suns, but I was confident that there would be at least a few stories that I would...

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 →
Hello Humans! Back for another book review, I see? Well, today I’m reviewing another anthology from Oxford-based publisher Rebellion. I’ve read a number of Rebellion’s collections of short stories in the past, including The Not So Stories and Infinity Wars both of which I very much enjoyed. I’ve also got their upcoming anthology New Suns... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Today I am reviewing another collection of short stories, I think the last time I did this was with How to Fracture a Fairytale so it was fun to get back into a shorter medium. I haven't actually read any of the other Young Explorer's Adventure Guides before, so I can't speak to how this book... 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! It’s been a while since I’ve reviewed any kind of anthology but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to read Shades Within Us: Tales of Migrations and Fractured Borders, especially since I loved Where the Stars Rise so much. I used to find anthologies hard to read, feeling like I couldn’t get my... Continue Reading →
