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! It would seem that the trend of retellings isn't going anywhere (no I am certainly not complaining). But today's retelling is one of Oliver Twist, of which I don't think I've ever read a retelling, though I don't doubt that one exists. I'll confess to never having read the original Dickens and to also not... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! I keep saying it, and it continues to be true, I've had to review a lot of review copies lately. I'm hoping to have the majority of them out of the way by the end of the year, and then next year I have plans for how I'm going to balance things so... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! Today I’m reviewing the much anticipated new novel from Robert Muchamore. I read a few of the Cherub books when I was a young teen and enjoyed the first few - I actually stopped reading them out of annoyance rather than just drifting away (as I did with a lot of series at...

Hello humans! Today I am utterly delighted to be reviewing the final book in Vic James’ Dark Gifts trilogy. Gilded Cage was one of the earlier books I reviewed on this blogging journey and I can remember how excited I was to be approved to read Tarnished City so drawing it to a close is...

Hello humans! Welcome to the final instalment of my reviews of Marie Lu’s books (until I eventually get around to reading Warcross but honestly my TBR is currently the size of a young killer whale so I don’t know when that will be). I have enjoyed this series more than I could have ever imagined... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! We’re on part…5(?) of my journey through the adventures of Marie Lu’s writing (do we count Batman?) Anyway, this is a review of the second book in the Legend series Prodigy. I was left hooked after book one and immediately had to read the next. YA dystopian trilogies are my jam, but second... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! So upon finishing The Young Elites series, I still hadn’t got quite enough of Marie Lu. That sounds somewhat more ominous than I meant it to…I mean her books (of course). So I decided to jump right in with the Legend series which, while it is very different from The Young Elites is... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! Another hugely anticipated read takes centre stage today as I am reviewing Ash Princess by Laura Sebastian. This is one of those YA books that I have a feeling everyone will be talking about (for better or worse). I don’t think you can ignore the cover’s similarity to those of the Red Queen...

Hello humans! For those of us who are bookishly inclined, I think there’s a small worry at the back of our minds whenever anyone ‘famous’ (I use quotation marks because I think celebrity means different things to different people) gets a publishing deal. I’ll confess to not having read a huge number of books of... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! As you may know (but don’t worry if you don’t, I’m about to tell you) Sundays on this blog are days when I try to post something a little more than a book review. Sometimes that’s a silly post about how bookworms are basically Disney villains, sometimes it’s something even weirder. Today its... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! It’s time for another ‘reading and reviewing books by problematic authors is hard’ segment! With Margaret Atwood, it’s particularly hard since she’s so synonymous with feminism. Sadly, she’s become far more synonymous with white feminism which is not good at all. I bought this book because I felt like it was something I... Continue Reading →
