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 →
Hello humans! We’re back in the safe, comfortable world of YA Fantasy after yesterday’s (incredibly successful) foray into contemporary. The Smoke Thieves was one of those books that I knew I wanted to read but it wasn’t high up on my priority list because it felt like it was going to be too much ‘demon’... Continue Reading →
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 →
Hello humans. Bit of a tricky one here...not sure how to start it. I guess transparency is the issue of the day. I bought this book before I had come across any of the controversy surrounding Maggie Stiefvater and this book. I don't want to get into that here, and people have put it far... Continue Reading →
Hello Humans! How can it possibly be the end of March? How? Who allowed this to happen? We are ¼ through the year! It seems fitting to have started the year reading Melinda Salisbury and then to mark today with her latest book State of Sorrow. This was a book that I honestly wasn’t that... Continue Reading →
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 →
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...

Hello humans! Is it time to revisit a Want to Read Wednesday book from days gone by? I finally got round to reading the copy of Spindle Fire my darling husband got me for Christmas last year and I have some thoughts and feelings. Goodreads Summary: It all started with the burning of the spindles. No.... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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...
