Hello Humans! I mean is it any surprise I went and read the sequel to the book that had dinosaurs and Romans in the same place? Potential spoilers for The Chosen ahead - but spoiler-free for The Challenger. Goodreads Summary: The stakes are higher than ever in The Challenger, the second book in the Contender YA trilogy by...

Hello Humans! Time to review book three in the Iksari series. To get you back up to speed - I absolutely adored book one (The Last Namsara) thought the second book was ok (The Caged Queen) and then left this book on my review copies TBR until literally the last possible moment - so you can...

Hello Humans! Back for more are we? Today’s review is for Sea Witch Rising, the sequel to Sea Witch which I reckon I read almost exactly a year ago – it’s nice when things circle around like that! I remembered really enjoying Sea Witch but, when I heard that there was going to be a... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Once again, the long weekends in May are just perfect for cracking into my TBR. I managed to finish The Glass Spare on the Sunday of the May bank holiday weekend and, while I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, I ended up having a good time. Have a read with me as I...

Hello Humans! Are we done with retellings yet? It certainly feels like that period of time where everything was a retelling is drawing to a close, I wonder what the next trend will be? Well, because nothing is ever truly gone, I have another retelling for you today. I say retelling - more of an... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! I’m on a bit of an ARC kick at the moment, there seem to be so many amazing books publishing in April and May and I can’t seem to stop myself from reading them – my backlist pile is getting a little loomy so I’m going to have to adjust my reading schedule... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! It’s another one of those ‘this review is posting in April, but I read this book in January’ kind of posts. I like writing these because, obviously, the book is fresh in my mind but at the same time it’s kind of scary. What will the world be like by the time you’re... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! It feels like a good long while since I last dipped my toes into the YA dystopian genre (but thinking about it, I just finished Monsters of Men so maybe that’s just me compartmentalising things into weird genre groups). At a guess, I’d say the other books I’ve read lately have been Dry... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! I'm trying something a little...different. I realised at the end of last year that I was pretty much only reviewing the ARCs I had and barely ever wrote reviews for the books I bought, whether they were new titles or backlist books. I want to change that but I'm also aware that the... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! If you're around in the book blog-o-sphere you've probably heard of today's book, Enchantée by Gita Trelease. I personally first came across this book at YALC (young adult lit con) in July, where they were giving out samplers. I didn't actually take one (I was very strict on 'don't pick it up if you're not... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Welcome back to another book review. In today's review, murder, nuns, forbidden romance, daggers hidden in boobs - it's everything a girl could ask for. Goodreads Summary: Why be the sheep, when you can be the wolf? Seventeen-year-old Ismae escapes from the brutality of an arranged marriage into the sanctuary of the convent... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! It is done, we have reached the end. I've had the best time reading and reviewing Tamora Pierce's Immortals quartet and I truly hope you've enjoyed reading them. It's been an interesting exercise, I've posted reviews of maybe two books in a series in a row on this blog before, going for four was... Continue Reading →
