Hello Humans! I have Asha from A Cat, A Book, and a Cup of Tea to thank for today's book, she was kind enough to gift me with a copy of The Starless Sea at Christmas time and I finally got round to reading it! I actually filmed a full video review of The Starless Sea so... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Ever wondered what would happen to storybook characters in the modern world (and want something darker than OUAT?) - look no further than the second book in Melissa Albert's The Hazel Wood series.

Hello Humans! Are you ready for my review of one of my favourite reads of the year so far? I'm talking, of course, about Frances Hardinge's Deeplight. I mean, this book had everything going for it, it's about the ocean and stories and it was written by one of my absolute favourite authors. I was so... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! I’m doing some catching up on reviews today which is very fun and satisfying (I’ve made a big list for the sole purpose of the extasy that comes with ticking things off). One such recent read was Widow’s Welcome, a book which first came to my attention in a copy of the Bookseller.... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! I see you're back for some Sunday content! (I took a break last week because I had to fit in my review of the AMAZING Reign of the Fallen because to delay it any longer would be to deny you the pleasure of potentially ordering it for yourself! But this week I'm back and... Continue Reading →

I was so close to buying a copy of this brand new in Waterstones a few weekends ago and I'm thrilled that I resisted the temptation because two days later I realised I could get the ebook free from the library *tiny victory dance*. This concept drew me in (who wouldn't want to jump into books?) but... Continue Reading →
Good morning friends! Today we're looking at a witchy novel, a bit younger than the books I normally read. In audience that is. This book was actually first published in 1991 before I was even born, so it's quite interesting seeing how the story compares to similar books publishing now. Goodreads Summary: At first glance,...

'What?' 'But' 'Wait' 'Huh?' 'How?' 'Why?' These are but some of the exclamations I uttered when reading this book. The Night Brother publishes on the first of June this year and based on it's quite...unusual cover I probably should have guessed I was in for something equally unusual. Goodreads Summary: Rich are the delights of... Continue Reading →
I was so pleased I succumbed to the hype and read Red Queen. But I was a little worried that the sequel wouldn't live up to my expectations. Very rarely do sequels meet my expectations, it's a trope we all know and definitely do not love. What is concerning about the Red Queen series is... Continue Reading →
Hello again dearest friends and welcome to my second ever favourites post. It seems April went by in a flash of easter eggs and bunny rabbits and now here we are at the end.

If I were to make a list of all the cringe-worthy young adult books I have read and at times enjoyed (though usually for the wrong reasons) Golden would definitely be up there. This is the first part to a series which presents itself as an alternative version of the Goldilocks story. Which sounds wonderful, we... Continue Reading →
