Hello humans! I very rarely read books about vampires anymore, despite having been the perfect age to be completely obsessed during the height of the Twilight hype (we all live with our past selves somehow). But, a few years ago, when I was suffering from second-degree burns caused by dropping a cup of tea on... Continue Reading →
Furyborn, Claire Legrand – Book Review
Hello humans! Remember way back to the time Fairyloot put an arc in their box? I think it was in 2017? Well, I'm finally reviewing it! Furyborn has been on the radar for a lot of people for quite some time and I appreciate you taking your time to read my thoughts! On with the review... Goodreads Summary:... Continue Reading →
This Mortal Coil, Emily Suvada – Book Review
Hello humans! Today's review is for a book that I wasn't expecting to like as much as I did. This Mortal Coil first came to my attention when I got a pin badge for the book in one of the Fairyloot crates - I can't actually remember which one? So then when I was looking for a book... Continue Reading →
Predator’s Gold, Philip Reeve – Book Review
Hello humans! That’s right I’m still reading my way through Philip Reeve’s Hungry City Chronicles from the library’s ebook stash! I’m having the problem I always have when I read series where they all start to merge into one in my mind, if you see anything that happens in a later book then let me... Continue Reading →
The Young Elites, Marie Lu – Book Review
Hello humans! Welcome to the beginning of quite a journey! Think back with me to December 2017, it was a wonderful time. Christmas had just past and I was free from the book buying ban (which honestly, I was failing at anyway) and I happened to walk into The Works. Some might call this a... Continue Reading →
The Beast’s Heart, Leife Shallcross – Book Review
Morning mortals! Adding another title to the year of ALL THE RETELLINGS (at the time of writing I'm at eleven) is The Beast's Heart which publishes on the 3rd of May 2018. I was lucky enough to be sent a physical ARC from the publisher and I'm delighted to share my thoughts with you. Content note:... Continue Reading →
Witchborn, Nicholas Bowling – Book Review
Hello humans! Back for another book review? Well you are in luck! Today’s review was another one of those ‘third book in a three for two’ purchases that you never really know if they’re going to be good or not. Coincidentally I read Witchborn having just read Lady Mary so it was a bit of... Continue Reading →
The Young Queens, Kendare Blake – Book Review
Hello humans! I’ve been working my way through the Three Dark Crowns series over the last year or so, since YALC 2017 and in anticipation of the end of the series which I believe is happening this year. I was therefore delighted to find that the novella/prequel The Young Queens was available on my Library’s... Continue Reading →
The Electrical Venus, Julie Mayhew – Book Review
Hello humans! After all these years, you would think I’d be utterly fed up with books set in circus/travelling shows. After Caraval, The Night Circus, Daughter of the Burning City and so many more I should be avoiding books like these like the plague. But I can’t help it! Something in me just can’t get... Continue Reading →
Everless, Sara Holland – Book Review
Hello humans! Has it taken me literally months to read this book after receiving it in a Fairyloot box? Why yes it has! Am I kicking myself for not getting to it sooner? Why yes I am! I feel like a lot of the hype for Everless has died down but I still wanted to tell you... Continue Reading →
Lady Mary, Lucy Worsley – Book Review
Hello humans! Back with another book review, today's has a bit of a Tudor twist. I had one of those fun occasions where two of the books you are reading are set in a similar time period. In this case, Lady Mary is set before the time period in Witchborn (which is a very different genre at... Continue Reading →
The Wicked Deep, Shea Ernshaw – Book Review
Hello humans! Earlier in the month, I had the pleasure of reviewing The Witch’s Kiss trilogy and now we’re entering the end of March I’m here with another witchy title. The Wicked Deep was one of my anticipated reads for this year, partly due to the gorgeous cover and conceptually. I love stories that are... Continue Reading →
