Hello Humans! Thanks for stopping by for today's review of Brittney Morris' Slay. This book promised to be a "Black Panther-inspired novel about virtual reality, safe spaces and celebrating your identity" which sounded fabulous to me! Goodreads Summary: By day, seventeen-year-old Kiera Johnson is an honors student, a math tutor, and one of the only Black... 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! After quite a few books in between (I got excited about both library books and new releases), I'm here with my readalong for The Ask and the Answer by Patrick Ness. I read The Knife of Never Letting Go way back in June of 2018 and the sequels have been sat on my TBR since... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! I said it was coming and I deliver on my promises. I've bypassed my TBR tea-cup for one book in order to bring you a readalong of Rebel, the last book in the Extinction Trials series. As someone who, at the age of 24, just bought a new backpack with neon dinosaurs on it,... 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 know that STAGS has been out for a while, but I've only just managed to get round to reading it. I was intrigued by the cover pretty much every time I went into a bookshop, I just couldn't quite work up enough of a reason to buy a copy since this isn't really... Continue Reading →
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... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! Today I’m reviewing a book that is a little out of my comfort zone. If you’re new to the blog, my comfort zone is 100% YA science fiction and fantasy, so to venture into the realm of reality is more than a little strange for me. However, I do like stepping out of... Continue Reading →
Morning mortals! Remember when we all went to see Thor: Ragnarok and could have cared less about the titular character because there was a bloomin' Valkyrie on screen? Well, my burning desire to read this book was entirely because of that fact. I want more mythological female warriors on my screen and in my books,... Continue Reading →
