Book Review: Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik
Uprooted is a book that I absolutely love and am very thankful for. It’s the book that broke the worst reading slump of my life, which had been carrying on for months.

Book Review: Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli
I feel like a broken record — I’m always talking about why I don’t read contemporary young adult books. Unless there’s a hook that’s particularly interesting, I’m just not interested.

If you have seen my review of the first book in this series, Every Heart a Doorway, you’ll know that I absolutely loved it — I thought it was perfection.

Book Review: The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert
The Hazel Wood is a book that has been lurking at the back of my mind since 2017 – it’s a book that sounded absolutely perfect for me. I love a dark fairy tale, so when you throw in a New York setting and fuzz the barriers between fiction and reality it basically becomes my… Continue reading
