    Book Review: The Dragon Republic by R. F. Kuang

    Book Review: The Dragon Republic by R. F. Kuang

    I’m very vocal about the fact that The Poppy War was my favourite book of 2018, so I was naturally extremely excited to dive into The Dragon Republic as soon as I could, but I was a little nervous. The second book in a trilogy is a difficult one to pull off, as it deals… Continue reading

    Book Review: Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson

    Book Review: Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson

    I was captivated by the cover of Rogerson’s debut, An Enchantment of Ravens, but was ultimately lukewarm on the book itself. Despite this, I perked up when I heard about the release of Sorcery of Thorns. Not only does Sorcery have a great cover as well, it sounded like my exact cup of tea where Enchantment did… Continue reading

    Book Review: All the Bad Apples by Moira Fowley-Doyle

    Book Review: All the Bad Apples by Moira Fowley-Doyle

    I absolutely loved Spellbook of the Lost and Found when I read it back in 2017. Ever since then, I’ve been a big fan of Doyle’s fantastic, dream-like writing. All the Bad Apples was a hugely anticipated book for me, and I’m so pleased to say that I loved it even more than I could… Continue reading

    Monthly Reading Wrap-Up: July 2019

    Monthly Reading Wrap-Up: July 2019

    I would like to file a complaint. How is it already August? It’s completely baffling to me and I’d love to know when I time traveled because this is ridiculous. The month of July was kind of crazy, as I feel like it always is. What is it about summer months and me going to… Continue reading

    Book Review: Age of Assassins by R. J. Barker

    Book Review: Age of Assassins by R. J. Barker

    Regardless of how much I manage to read in a given week, month, or year, I always seem to be behind the times in some way. There are so many authors and series that I feel like I’m missing out on, and R. J. Barker’s Wounded Kingdom was one of them. Despite having heard so… Continue reading

    Book Review: Embers of War by Gareth L. Powell

    Book Review: Embers of War by Gareth L. Powell

    Embers of War first came onto my radar when it won the British Science Fiction Award for best novel in 2018. Curious and craving some good sci-fi, I decided to pick it up and see what all the fuss was about. To my surprise and delight, it features one of my absolute favourite tropes in… 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.
