    Book review: The Devouring Gray by Christine Lynn Herman

    Book review: The Devouring Gray by Christine Lynn Herman

    The Devouring Gray is a book that has had so much buzz around it over the past year. Although it was one of my most highly anticipated books of the spring, I figured it would be a fun but over hyped book — I’ve been burned by this before and I try to be cautious… Continue reading

    Mini Reviews: Ragged Alice, The Tea Master and the Detective, and The Prince and the Dressmaker

    Mini Reviews: Ragged Alice, The Tea Master and the Detective, and The Prince and the Dressmaker

    Today I’m bringing you three flash reviews for books that are not even remotely related. Why are they in this post together? Because they were all incredibly quick and short reads — one is a graphic novel and the other two are novellas. Take a look below at my thoughts on Ragged Alice by Gareth… Continue reading

    Weekly Wrap-Up: 10 May 2019

    Happy Friday!  I feel like my life is getting back to normal (see my April wrap-up post for more) and I’m finally reading again. This week has been a good one — I read a bunch of books and am off to see Detective Pikachu after work.  Continue reading

    Book Review: The Princess and the Fangirl by Ashley Poston

    Book Review: The Princess and the Fangirl by Ashley Poston

    I loved Geekerella back in 2017, so I was thrilled to see that it was getting a companion novel. Although I’m not a huge fan of contemporary YA books, Poston’s convention romances are such fun reads and love letters to geek culture. Continue reading

    My NetGalley TBR: A Selection

    My NetGalley TBR: A Selection

    A confession: I’m terrible at keeping up with my NetGalley books. I can be super excited to read something, but ultimately I’m more tempted by physical books than eBooks. Despite this, I have some amazing stuff just waiting for me on my Kindle. I pulled a couple of titles here to not only show off… Continue reading

    Book Review: Before Mars by Emma Newman

    Book Review: Before Mars by Emma Newman

    I make no secret of the fact that Emma Newman is one of my favourite authors. I absolutely loved the first two books in her Planetfall series, Planetfall and After Atlas, so I had faith in the fact that I’d also love Before Mars. Each Planetfall book is a little different, and Before Mars is… Continue reading

    Monthly Wrap-Up: April 2019

    Monthly Wrap-Up: April 2019

    It feels like an absolute age since I’ve been here, despite a couple posts sprinkled here and there throughout the month. Things have been so crazy lately between starting a new job, adjusting to a whole new commute, going through a terrible reading/blogging/BookTube slump, and generally planning and plotting other projects. Also, life. That gets… Continue reading

    Book Review: My So-Called Bollywood Life by Nisha Sharma

    Book Review: My So-Called Bollywood Life by Nisha Sharma

    I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump lately and needed something totally different to help claw my way out — enter My So-Called Bollywood Life, a debut novel I learned about at an showcase event held by the publisher earlier this year. I don’t have a huge amount of experience with Bollywood films, although… 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.
