Hello humans! Today’s book review is another example of what I’m starting to think of as a kind of sub-sub-genre. By that, I mean books (and it is mostly YA books) that divide things by gender and make readers looking for intersectionality a little uncomfortable. I’m looking at you Eve of Man. Ascension is, in... Continue Reading →
Hello humans. Ugh. I can’t believe I’m here writing this review. Illuminae was one of the first hyped up books I ever read and reviewed on this blog, it was kind of what pushed me into more of the community of bloggers rather than just sitting on the fringe. It’s also one of the first... Continue Reading →
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...

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 →
Hello humans! Today's book review is another instance of 'Judith read the sequel before reading the first book - oops!' Nonetheless, I do think these reviews can be helpful because sometimes reading later books in the series means you can skip some of the unnecessary set up in the earlier books (I'm remembering when I...

Hello humans! You know what cheery subject has been on my mind a heck of a lot lately? Death. Yeah...it's been an interesting few weeks, to say the least. But thinking about death in an abstract sense isn't such a bad thing and, if I'm honest, I've always loved the idea of the Grim Reaper... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! Yes, it is time to review one of the most talked about books of 2018 (or at least that's how it feels). Before I start the review I have to give the most humongous shout out to the delightful Justine who sent me an ARC of this when I lamented waiting until May... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! I know everyone and their mum has already written a review for this book, but I'm reviewing everything I read this year and I'd really love to tell you what I thought about one of the most talked about YA books from early this year. The Extinction Trials is one of the best examples... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! Another anthology? I've been converted. A year ago I saw them as no more than things that would induce a reading slump. Now I'm actively searching for them. If you can find a theme you're into they can be a great way to discover new authors and get just a flavour of many... Continue Reading →
Morning mortals! Am I late to this party? Most probably since The Empress published back in November, but this isn't the longest I've left it to review a sequel by any means! This was one of my anticipated sequels for the year, I enjoyed The Diabolic, giving it 4/5 stars and I am excited to share what... Continue Reading →
Morning mortals! More science fiction today, and a quite hefty dose of philosophy. I've got a lot to say about this one so I think it's better we get straight to the reviewing. Goodreads Summary: Mycroft Canner is a convict. For his crimes he is required, as is the custom of the 25th century, to... Continue Reading →
Morning mortals! What's this? My first ever foray into military science fiction (knowingly at least). Valiant Dust appealed to me largely because of how striking that cover is, but it's also fun to branch out into other genres/sub-genres. You never know what might surprise you. On that note... Goodreads Summary: Sikander Singh North has always had... Continue Reading →
