Hello Humans! It is book three of my #ABookADay reading challenge and, by pure chance, it's another one of my many impulse Kindle purchases. Many of you will know I adore Jay Kristoff's Nevernight series - to the point where I now have three copies of Darkdawn preordered...but I hadn't ever really thought to read his The Lorus Wars...

King of Fools, Amanda Foody – Book Review
Hello Humans! Today I’m reviewing a much-anticipated sequel. I first encountered Amanda Foody when I read Daughter of the Burning City - which I absolutely adored.

Be still my clockwork heart! Magpie’s Song, Allison Pang Book Review
This book hit all of my steampunk loving, fantasy obsessed, strong female character buttons and I am so excited to get to share my feelings with you! Goodreads Summary: In the slums of BrightStone, Moon Children are worth less than the scrap they must collect to survive. It doesn’t matter that these abandoned half-breeds are... Continue Reading →
