    Book Review: The House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin A. Craig

    Book Review: The House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin A. Craig

    I’ve been in a big slump when it comes to YA fantasy – it has been absolute ages since I read the genre consistently. Despite this, I was totally drawn to The House of Salt and Sorrows (possibly due to that fantastic cover, look at it!) I didn’t know a huge amount about it before… Continue reading

    Blog Tour: A Little Hatred by Joe Abercrombie

    Welcome to my stop on the A Little Hatred blog tour! I cannot tell you how thrilled I was to hear that one of my favourite authors was coming out with a new book.

    Mini Graphic Novel Reviews: Nimona by Noelle Stevenson and Mooncakes by Suzanne Walker and Wendy Xu

    Mini Graphic Novel Reviews: Nimona by Noelle Stevenson and Mooncakes by Suzanne Walker and Wendy Xu

    I confess that I’m not much of a graphic novel reader, however sometimes one comes along that captures my interest. I don’t often have a huge amount to say about graphic novels, so I’m doing two mini reviews of two very different books today! Continue reading

    Weekly Wrap-Up: 13 September 2019

    Happy Friday, all! I am not entirely sure where the first half of September went — it sort of swirled into a black hole and it’s suddenly the middle of the month. How does that even happen? Continue reading

    Book Review: The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow

    Book Review: The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow

    I rarely have difficulty reviewing book, regardless of how much I love or dislike it. However, The Ten Thousand Doors of January has me stumped and speechless! I’m not sure that I’ll be able to capture how fantastic this debut novel is, but I’ll do my best. Continue reading

    Book Review: City of Lies by Sam Hawke

    Book Review: City of Lies by Sam Hawke

    City of Lies had been languishing on my TBR since its release last year. Despite hearing amazing things about this book, I just never seemed to have the time to read it. I finally decided to pick up the audiobook with a spare Audible credit and I’m kicking myself for not reading it sooner! Part… Continue reading

    Book Review: Bone China by Laura Purcell

    Book Review: Bone China by Laura Purcell

    I absolutely loved Purcell’s first Gothic novel, The Silent Companions, but was disappointed in the second, The Corset. Naturally, I was very curious about Bone China, her latest book, to see if it would recapture everything I loved about The Silent Companions. It absolutely did — Bone China is a fantastic addition to her growing… Continue reading

    Reading Wrap-Up: August 2019

    We’re time traveling again — August feels like it absolutely flew by! September is here now, and it’s time to look back on the books that I read last month. It was a great month for reading, despite two DNFs, and I have found some new favourite books of the year! 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.
