Hello Humans! It’s finally time to review one of my most anticipated releases of 2019 - Brandon Sanderson’s Starsight. I had read Skyward the year before and had been eagerly anticipating the sequel so the moment my preorder came in I was down at the bookshop clutching that new hardback to my chest! But could...

Serpent & Dove, Shelby Mahurin – Book Review
Hello Humans! Today I'm excited to be reviewing a book which contains some of my favourite things - witches and romance. Yes. I received Serpent & Dove in the latest Harper 360 mailout and I had absolutely no idea what to expect which I often find leads to some of the best reading because you're not tied...

The Memory of Fire, Callie Bates – Readalong
Hello Humans! It is June 4th and - unsurprisingly - the fourth day in my #ABookADay reading challenge. The TBR jar has decreed that my next read shall be The Memory of Fire and, while I can't remember anything that happened in The Waking Land I'm intrigued by the idea of following a different character - we shall...

The Glass Spare, Lauren DeStefano – Readalong
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...

Goldenhand, Garth Nix – Readalong
Hello Humans! I know it's been a while since we've had a readalong and I'm sorry, I've been focussed on whittling down my ARCs and my owned TBR has suffered as a result. But since this weekend is a long weekend I've got some time for some 'reckless' reading and I've finally cracked the cover... Continue Reading →
Stepsister, Jennifer Donnelly – Book Review
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 →
King of Fools, Amanda Foody – Book Review
Hello Humans! Today I’m reviewing a much-anticipated sequel. I first encountered Amanda Foody when I read Daughter of the Burning City - which I absolutely adored. I felt like her next book Ace of Shades got a lot more hype in the social media sphere and for good reason, while DOTBC is my preference out... Continue Reading →
Nocturna, Maya Motayne – Book Review
Hello Humans! I'm still here blasting through May releases like some kind of reading superhero (albeit a superhero that turns up a little bit late once all the fighting is done because she was really busy in April). Today I'm reviewing a YA fantasy Latinx-inspired novel, Maya Motayne's Nocturna. Goodreads Summary: Set in a Latinx-inspired world,... Continue Reading →
Abhorsen, Garth Nix – Readalong
Hello Humans! Those who read my readalong for Elantris will have seen this coming, those that didn't - surprise! I actually listened to the first two books in this series Sabriel and Lirael on audiobook so this is my first read of a book in the Abhorsen series and I'm very excited. I'm actually battling with some side effects to... Continue Reading →
Shadow of the Fox, Julie Kagawa – Book Review
Hello humans! Those who follow me on Instagram may have seen me frantically finishing Shadow of the Fox so that I could review it for you today. I'm pleased to say that not only did I manage it, but I thought it was absolutely wonderful. This was one of those books that just captured some of the... Continue Reading →
Dark Matter: Evolution, Teri Terry – Book Review
Hello humans! Today's review is of the final book in Teri Terry's Dark Matter series, the first two books of which I reviewed a while ago, to read those reviews click here. This has been one of the most interesting series to read start to finish, with a fair number of unexpected twists and turns here and... Continue Reading →
Orphan Monster Spy, Matt Killeen – Book Review
Hello humans! Today’s review is brought to you by the sense of horror I experienced when I realised how long this book sat on my shelf before I actually read it (and then how long it took me to write and publish the review). In my defence, this was one of those ‘third book in... Continue Reading →
