    Blog Tour: Shattermoon by Dominic Dulley @jofletcherbooks

    Blog Tour: Shattermoon by Dominic Dulley @jofletcherbooks

    You all know I love a good heist novel, and while I’ve read a fair few fantasy heist books, I don’t think I’ve ever found a science fiction book that fits in this category.  You can only imagine how excited I was to hear about Shattermoon. Continue reading

    Book Review: The Woman in the Window by A. J. Finn

    Book Review: The Woman in the Window by A. J. Finn

    I feel like I rarely read thrillers, and this is something I’d like to change.  Having devoured Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train  just before the height of popularity, I figured that The Woman in the Window would be the perfect thriller for me.  It is so often compared to those two books… Continue reading

    Book Review: IT by Stephen King

    Book Review: IT by Stephen King

    I really love Stephen King, but I’ve had a huge gap in my reading for years — I had never read IT.  Possibly his most famous novel, IT has been frightening readers for over 30 years. I decided to tackle this weighty book — my physical copy clocks in at right around 1,400 pages –but… Continue reading

    Book Review: The Electrical Venus by Julie Mayhew

    Book Review: The Electrical Venus by Julie Mayhew

    The Electrical Venus jumped out at me because it is historical young adult fiction — something I don’t think you see very often. On top of that, the book is set in Georgian England, which is even more of a rarity in YA.  Although I didn’t know much about it, I decided to give it… Continue reading

    Book Review: Bonfire by Krysten Ritter

    Book Review: Bonfire by Krysten Ritter

    So to get this out of the way: yes, this book is written by the marvelous Krysten Ritter.  I really like her as an actress and am a huge fan of Jessica Jones. I will be very honest, I was very curious about this book based on who she is — I’m not sure it’s… Continue reading

    Weekly Wrap-Up: 08 June 2018

    Happy Friday!  Today is a particularly special Friday because it’s my birthday.  I’ve made it to 30 and still don’t feel like an adult. How?? I suspect that at this point, I’ll never be a proper grown up.  I also had three pieces of cake for breakfast and am bouncing off the walls — that… Continue reading

    Book Review: The Poppy War by R. F. Kuang

    Book Review: The Poppy War by R. F. Kuang

    I had been hearing so much about The Poppy War via social media and knew I had to try for a copy on NetGalley.  I began reading my digital ARC, made it a few chapters in, and bought the book. I can confidently say that this is one of the best books I’ve read this… 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.
