Book Review: An Assassin’s Guide to Love and Treason by Virginia Boecker
I’m always on the hunt for some good historical fiction, and An Assassin’s Guide to Love and Treason caught my eye for a few reasons. First of all, I don’t think we see enough YA historical fiction so it always catches my eye. I love the book’s Elizabethan setting, but I was totally blown away… Continue reading

Book review: The Devouring Gray by Christine Lynn Herman
The Devouring Gray is a book that has had so much buzz around it over the past year. Although it was one of my most highly anticipated books of the spring, I figured it would be a fun but over hyped book — I’ve been burned by this before and I try to be cautious… Continue reading

Mini Reviews: Ragged Alice, The Tea Master and the Detective, and The Prince and the Dressmaker
Today I’m bringing you three flash reviews for books that are not even remotely related. Why are they in this post together?

Book Review: The Princess and the Fangirl by Ashley Poston

Book Review: Before Mars by Emma Newman
I make no secret of the fact that Emma Newman is one of my favourite authors. I absolutely loved the first two books in her Planetfall series, Planetfall and After Atlas, so I had faith in the fact that I’d also love Before Mars. Each Planetfall book is a little different, and Before Mars is… Continue reading

I don’t have a huge amount of experience with Bollywood films, although… Continue reading

Book Review: The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon
I’m going to be completely honest, I don’t really know how to write this review. I’ve had The Bone Season on my radar since it came out in 2013. My mum heard about it on the radio and bought a copy because she thought we might be interested. I never got around to picking it… Continue reading

Welcome to my stop on the Muse of Nightmares blog tour! To celebrate the paperback release, I’m bringing you a review of this gorgeous fantasy novel.

Book Review: The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon
I had been desperately waiting to get hold of a copy of The Priory of the Orange Tree, and it finally landed in my hands in February. It’s a chunky 800-page fantasy tome that is packed with cool dragons, mighty queens, fierce warriors, and enough court intrigue and conspiracy to warm my heart. I was… Continue reading
