Hello Humans! How often do you read novellas? I must say for me it’s fairly infrequent - I tend to find all my time is taken up by reading huge chunky fantasy tomes and I don’t gravitate towards shorter books very often. I’ve been making an effort to shake up my reading and slot more... 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! 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 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! You may have noticed in the year-or-so that I've been blogging that I have developed something of an affection for Leigh Bardugo. I've read her Six of Crows duology and adored it, I've cooed over Wonder Woman: Warbringer, and I've started and loved the Grisha series. I was, of course, delighted to add Bardugo's collection of...

Hello humans! Welcome to another installment of ALL THE RETELLINGS, the blog posts where I review one of the millions of retellings that seem to have suddenly exploded onto the shelves in the last year or so. Today I'm actually reviewing a collection of retellings which caught my eye in a post about the most... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! I'm back with another short story compilation review! This book is one that I've had on my TBR for a shamefully long time. Something happened and this just fell through the cracks and into 2018! But I finally read it after seeing the physical book peeking at me through the Blackwell's shop window. The Beginning...

Morning Mortals! I hope your December is going well and if not I hope it gets better for you soon! Today's review is for a quick read - I normally don't pick these up because I know it will only take me a couple of hours to read and I never feel like I've achieved... Continue Reading →
Good morning mortals! I've reviewed a few short story compilations in the past and, if I'm honest, they have a tendency to be a bit hit or miss for me. Either I love them and I want to share them with the universe or they send me into a deep reading slump and I don't... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! Another short story compilation? Why yes! I've been reading a few of these lately and I've actually been pretty pleasantly surprised. Goodreads Summary: Enter the Emerald Circus and be astonished by the transformations of your favorite tales. Ringmaster and internationally bestselling author Jane Yolen (Briar Rose, Sister Emily’s Lightship) spins modern fantasy classics... Continue Reading →
Morning Mortals! Ready for another book review? I know I am! The Overneath was one of my honeymoon reads and it's also one of the first short story compilations that hasn't sent me into a bit of a reading slump so I have a lot of good things to say! Goodreads Summary: An odd couple patrols a... Continue Reading →
