    Weekly Wrap-Up: 24 August 2018

    It is Bank Holiday Eve, you guys!  Although we are guaranteed to not have nice weather here in the UK, I’m still looking forward to three days of books, doggies, and family.  Scottish Fiance and I are off to my parents’ house and I seriously cannot wait. Is it 5pm yet? Continue reading

    Book Review: Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers

    Book Review: Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers

    Becky Chambers is one of my absolute favourite authors and I adore her books.  Record of a Spaceborn Few was one of my most highly anticipated books of the year, and I must say that it did not disappoint. Continue reading

    Blog Tour: Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett

    Welcome to my stop on the Foundryside blog tour!  Robert Jackson Bennett’s Divine Cities trilogy is one of my favourite series of all time, so I was naturally very curious about his newest book. Continue reading

    Book Review: After the Fire by Will Hill

    Book Review: After the Fire by Will Hill

    I must confess that I initially ignored the hype surrounding After the Fire.  It is listed as a contemporary YA novel, a genre I don’t tend to enjoy, and I knew nothing about it but the hype.  When I spotted it at YALC this year and actually bothered to read the back, I realised that… Continue reading

    Book Review: The Light Between Us by Katie Khan

    Book Review: The Light Between Us by Katie Khan

    I’ve been shouting at you all ever since reading and loving Katie Khan’s debut novel Hold Back the Stars last year.  In fact, it was one of my favourite books of 2017 — I hadn’t read anything else quite like it and Katie became an auto-buy author for me.  When I learned her new book… Continue reading

    Book Review: Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi

    I have been hearing great things about Roshani Chokshi’s writing for years — she’s the author of the Star Touched Queen novels and tends to incorporate a great deal of Indian mythology and folklore into her books.  I’ve been really interested in reading some books that feature Indian mythology, so when the Indian Literature Readathon… Continue reading

    Book Review: Redemption’s Blade by Adrian Tchaikovsky

    Book Review: Redemption’s Blade by Adrian Tchaikovsky

    As you guys may know by now, I love fantasy books that investigate the aftermath of wars or sieges — I’m always keen to see what happens after the dust settles.  I was very interested in Redemption’s Blade for that exact reason — it shows the consequences of the classic good-versus-evil fantasy battle that I… Continue reading

    Book Review: City of Blades by Robert Jackson Bennett

    Book Review: City of Blades by Robert Jackson Bennett

    As you guys may have already seen, I absolutely loved City of Stairs, the first book in this trilogy, to the point where I couldn’t actually figure out how to review it.  I was hesitant about reading City of Blades for several reasons, the main one being the dreaded second book syndrome. Some of my recent… 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.
