    Book Review: Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames

    Book Review: Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames

    Kings of the Wyld is one of those books I’d been hearing about for ages, bought, and then let languish on my bookshelf.  So when Bethan from Bethan May Books suggested we buddy read it, I leapt at the opportunity. The rumours are true, friends, this book is just as fantastic as you’ve heard. Continue reading

    Monthly Round-Up: May 2018

    Monthly Round-Up: May 2018

    I say it every month, but at this point I don’t even care — how is it already June?   Where did the last month go?  I feel like I’m missing a week or two of May because this is ridiculous. May was a great month for reading — which may account for the time slip… Continue reading

    Weekly Reading Wrap-Up: 25 May 2018

    Weekly Reading Wrap-Up: 25 May 2018

    Happy Friday everyone!  How is May almost over?  Seriously, how? You all may have noticed (or not) that I haven’t been great about updating here for a couple of weeks.  I took a mini-hiatus due to some serious stress popping up, but that’s all sorted now!  Exciting new to come.  Back to business as usual!

    Book Review: Guns of the Dawn by Adrian Tchaikovsky

    Book Review: Guns of the Dawn by Adrian Tchaikovsky

    Flintlock fantasy is a subgenre that I’m incredibly unfamiliar with.  You can imagine how pleased I was when my fantasy book club picked Guns of the Dawn by Adrian Tchaikovsky as our May read.  This ended up being a great book to discuss because there was so much to unpack with the writing, but that’s… Continue reading

    Book Review: The Royal Wedding Colouring Book by Adam Rushton

    Book Review: The Royal Wedding Colouring Book by Adam Rushton

    So here’s something a little different for you guys.  I was offered a copy of the Royal Wedding Colouring Book by Adam Rushton in exchange for an honest review. Now, I’m not obsessed with the Royals — I think this younger generation is nice and the rest are sort of useless — but you know… Continue reading

    Book Review: Legendary by Stephanie Garber

    Book Review: Legendary by Stephanie Garber

    Caraval was one of the biggest releases of 2017.  It was the book everyone was talking about for months!  Fully caught up in the hype surrounding that book, I read Caraval and was actually pretty disappointed — I even listed it as one of my most disappointing books of 2017.  However, I fully acknowledge that… Continue reading

    Weekly Wrap-Up: 11 May 2018

    Happy Friday!  This has been a short week here in the UK and it really did fly by.  I didn’t do a weekly wrap-up last week because there would have only been a couple days between my monthly and weekly wrap-ups, so this post will feature two weeks worth of books! Continue reading

    Book Review: The Testament of Loki by Joanne Harris

    Book Review: The Testament of Loki by Joanne Harris

    I read The Gospel of Loki a couple of years ago and it was one of those books that really grew on me.  It stuck with me long after I finished the last page and I really think that it ignited my interest in Norse mythology.  I had assumed it would be a standalone novel,… 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.
