    Book Review: The Deep by Rivers Solomon, with Daveed Diggs, William Hutson, Jonathan Snipes

    Book Review: The Deep by Rivers Solomon, with Daveed Diggs, William Hutson, Jonathan Snipes

    I’ve been hearing buzz about The Deep for a few months now and the amazing concept captured my interest. I’ve never read a book by Rivers Solomon before and admit I am unfamiliar with the song and artists that inspired and helped work on this book, so I didn’t know what to expect. This novella… Continue reading

    Book Review: The Last Smile in Sunder City by Luke Arnold

    Book Review: The Last Smile in Sunder City by Luke Arnold

    I’m not familiar with Luke Arnold’s acting career, however I was still intrigued by his debut novel, The Last Smile in Sunder City. I had heard good things about it and was incredibly curious to try it for myself. I admit I was a little wary going in because the book seemed to have some… Continue reading

    Book Review: Dark Matter by Michelle Paver

    Book Review: Dark Matter by Michelle Paver

    I’m not usually a horror reader — I’m pretty much frightened of my own shadow — but a lovely and trusted bookish friend had been telling me about Dark Matter for ages and it caught my interest. I was totally delighted to receive a copy from my Amazon wishlist from my amazing friend Jenn in… Continue reading

    Book Review: The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep by H. G. Parry

    Book Review: The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep by H. G. Parry

    There is a certain kind of magic that you get from books about books — regardless of age range or genre, these kinds of stories will always warm my heart. I was absolutely thrilled to get the chance to read The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep before the UK publication date and was totally charmed… Continue reading

    Book Review: A Big Ship at the Edge of the Universe by Alex White

    Book Review: A Big Ship at the Edge of the Universe by Alex White

    A Big Ship at the Edge of the Universe is a book that caught my eye with its gorgeous cover, amazing blurbs (Nicholas Eames!), and fun premise. Despite buying it over a year ago, it sat on my shelf until January (typical) when I picked it up for a buddy read with my friend and… Continue reading

    Book Review: The Toll by Neil Schusterman

    Book Review: The Toll by Neil Schusterman

    The Arc of the Scythe series is a funny one for me, because while I really enjoyed the second book, Thunderhead, I nearly didn’t read it. Scythe had a great concept but I felt the  main characters were poorly executed and Schusterman didn’t let his amazing worldbuilding and ideas shine. Therefore The Toll had a… Continue reading

About Me

Welcome to my corner of the bookish internet. I’m an American who has lived in the UK for almost 10 years, a publishing professional, and lifelong lover of books. I make it my mission to shout about books all over the internet and share my enthusiasm with other readers. I read a little bit of everything, but my main genres of choice are horror, fantasy, and science fiction.

I aim to start conversations about books and reading, link readers to new authors and titles they’ll love, provide insightful review the books I’m reading, and discover new writers and subgenres on this blog.
