Hello Humans! Today I'm getting into a fairytale, but this time it isn't a retelling - this book has been described as an 'original fairytale' and you all know that is one of my absolute favourite things to read. Let's see how Girl, Serpent, Thorn went? Goodreads Summary: There was and there was not, as all stories... Continue Reading →
Bookish and the Beast, Ashley Poston – Book Review
Hello Humans! Have you encountered the Once Upon a Con series yet? If not, and if you're looking for something nice and wholesome and tremendously fun to read then I highly recommend it. I was lucky enough to score an advanced review copy for the latest book in the series Bookish and the Beast and I'm delighted... Continue Reading →
Bone Crier’s Moon, Kathryn Purdie – Book Review
Hello Humans! I am lucky enough to be on the review copy list for the lovely folk over at Harper360YA and they were kind enough to send me a review copy of one of their latest books Bone Crier's Moon to read and review. So...here we are! ... Can you tell I've written a lot of... Continue Reading →
Gumiho: Wicked Fox, Kat Cho – Book Review
Hello Humans! Summer is (sort of) upon us and with that comes a whole host of new releases, my shelves (both digital and physical) are bowing under the weight of all these amazing new books! One such book is Gumiho: Wicked Fox - also known as Wicked Fox in the US - which caught my eye not... Continue Reading →
Carmilla, Kim Turrisi – Book Review
Hello Humans! Today's book is another ARC review, this one requested after Asha told me I really ought to read it. When she told me there were lesbian vampires I WAS READY. I confess, before starting this book I hadn't come across the web series on which this book is based, and I've got some thoughts... Continue Reading →
Lady Smoke, Laura Sebastian – Book Review
Hello Humans! It feels like an age ago that I read the first book in Laura Sebastian's Ash Princess trilogy, so long that - I'll confess - I had forgotten most of what happened when I started on book two, Lady Smoke. Thankfully I have a lot of experience reading sequels with little to no memory of the previous... Continue Reading →
Romanov, Nadine Brandes – Book Review
Hello Humans! Who is ready for a little Russian historical fantasy? Romanov is the latest book from Nadine Brandes, author of Fawkes – a book which felt like it was blowing up the bookish internet for a time last year. I read Fawkes and, while I did enjoy it, it wasn’t a world-changing book for... Continue Reading →
Song of Sorrow, Melinda Salisbury – Book Review
Hello Humans! Today I'm reviewing one of my most anticipated reads of 2019 - it's the second book in Melinda Salisbury's State of Sorrow duology, Song of Sorrow. If you've been around for a while you'll know that I am the biggest nerd when it comes to this series. I even wrote a song inspired by State of... Continue Reading →
Sweet Black Waves, Kristina Pérez – Readalong
Hello humans! It feels as though it's been a minute since I've done a readalong. My excuse is that I was very caught up in reading an ARC of Bloodwitch by Susan Dennard and then I wanted to mood read and ended up reading Labyrinth Lost rather than the book that my TBR Teacup picked out. But... Continue Reading →
Distortion, Victor Dixen – Book Review
Hello humans! Remember back when I reviewed Ascension earlier in the year? No? It was the book being marketed as 'Love Island in Space' - yeah that one. Well, I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to read the sequel Distortion which comes out on the 18th of October. I had my reservations about the... Continue Reading →
Champion, Marie Lu – Book Review
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 →
Prodigy, Marie Lu – Book Review
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 →
