Hello Humans! Like many of you, I'm sure, I'm always on the look out for books with queer representation - and by that I mean books that explore all the different kinds of identity, I want books that explore sexuality, books that explore gender identity, books that explore attraction, and all the other different facets...

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! I’ve mentioned going along to the Gollancz blogger evening a few months ago – a great night hearing about all their upcoming releases, and mentally adding everything to my TBR. Well, at that event we got to hear from Vic James about her trip to Salem and how in inspired and influenced her... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! As I promised earlier in the week, today's review is for the sequel to Truthwitch, Susan Dennard's Windwitch. I know a lot of people get worried about 'sophomore slump' in books, but more often than not I find that I enjoy sequels more than I enjoy the first book in a series. I think it's having...

Hello humans! Back for another book review? Well you are in luck! Today’s review was another one of those ‘third book in a three for two’ purchases that you never really know if they’re going to be good or not. Coincidentally I read Witchborn having just read Lady Mary so it was a bit of... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! Earlier in the month, I had the pleasure of reviewing The Witch’s Kiss trilogy and now we’re entering the end of March I’m here with another witchy title. The Wicked Deep was one of my anticipated reads for this year, partly due to the gorgeous cover and conceptually. I love stories that are... Continue Reading →
The Coven is an urban fantasy novel by Chrissy Lessy publishing tomorrow (27th June). Tenacious Books and the lovely people at Netgalley were gracious enough to give me an advanced review copy so I could let you know my thoughts before publication. I've read a lot of witchy books in my time...how did this one fare?... Continue Reading →
Well after having segued into dragons for a time I seem to be slipping back into reading lots of books about witches. I also seem to have regained the habit for reading book series out of order. But no one is perfect and 99.9% of the time the book is still worth reading if you... Continue Reading →
I'm in a little bit of a 'witches phase' at the moment. My first inkling of this was this wondrous bit of historical fiction The Witchfinder's Sister from the pen of creative writing tutor Beth Underdown. Goodreads Summary: Before Salem, there was Manningtree. . . . "This summer, my brother Matthew set himself to killing women, but... Continue Reading →
Historical paranormal fiction is not a genre I have considered, as it were. By which I mean I daresay I've read a lot of it, but I've never walked into a bookshop with that in mind. This week's Want-to-Read Wednesday The Witchfinder's Sister appears to fit into that genre...and I'm really looking forward to this one.... Continue Reading →
I picked this book up on a whim in my local library (where else can one find an obscure collection of genres poorly organised in which you can barely find anything you want to read?) and thought I would share my feelings about it with you all, since I quite enjoyed reading it and who...
