Weekly Wrap-Up: 25 October 2019

Happy Friday! I can’t believe that we’re nearly at the end of October. Halloween is coming up, I’ve got bookish plans for the weekend, and I’ve been reading up a storm! This week, I’ve managed to read the same number of books as I did in the month of September. Crazy, huh? Sci-fi and fantasy… Continue reading

Weekly Wrap-Up: 18 October 2019

Hello friends, happy Friday! I, for one, cannot believe we are halfway through the spookiest month of the year. I’ve read a ton of books this week (I don’t know what magical thing happened this week but I’m definitely pleased), and today is the start of the Off the Grid readathon so I should get… Continue reading

Book Review: The Death of Mrs Westaway by Ruth Ware

I find often thrillers really hit or miss for me — sometimes they’re the most amazing reading experience or they completely fall flat. I hadn’t ever picked up a Ruth Ware book before, so I didn’t have many expectations going in despite hearing great things about her writing. However, I am so pleased to say… Continue reading

The Off the Grid Readathon Awakens

Guess what time it is, y’all? It’s time for the Off the Grid readathon! Shanah from Bionic Bookworm came up with this fantastic quarterly readathon in 2018, and the time has come for our fifth round! I love this readathon so much because it’s so low-key yet effective. If you’re anything like me, you always complain about… Continue reading

Blog Tour: Angel Mage by Garth Nix

Welcome to my stop on the Angel Mage blog tour! Although I’m a latecomer to Garth Nix’s fantasy books, having only just read Sabriel earlier this year, I was super excited to read his latest book. Angel Mage is his first adult fantasy book, and it’s a proper chunky tome too! Continue reading

Book Review: Darkdawn by Jay Kristoff

The Nevernight Chronicles has been one of my favourite series since I discovered it about this time last year. I loved Nevernight, absolutely adored Godsgrave, and therefore had sky-high expectations for the concluding book, Darkdawn. Unfortunately after two amazing books, the final installment in this series was a serious disappointment. I am going to keep… Continue reading

Book Review: Jade War by Fonda Lee

I have been very vocal about my love of Jade City since I read it earlier this summer. Fortunately for me, the sequel, Jade War, came out in July, so I could continue on with the story almost immediately! I very rarely read books in series so close to each other, but I absolutely could… Continue reading

Book Review: The Bone Ships by RJ Barker

Earlier this summer I read and loved Barker’s debut novel, Age of Assassins, so I was extremely excited to have the chance to read and review his latest book. Not only does The Bone Ships have a stunning cover (and you know I’m a sucker for a good cover), it takes place on huge ships… Continue reading

Reading Wrap-Up: September 2019

I can’t believe September is already over! It wasn’t the best reading month for me for a number of reasons, however I did manage to shaving down my TBR a little (although some were DNFs). Fingers crossed for a better reading month in October! 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.
