    Flash Reviews: Nonfiction Science

    Flash Reviews: Nonfiction Science

    It’s time for another set of flash reviews!  Today, I’m focusing on nonfiction science, specifically books about space.  Now you may know that I’m completely obsessed with space. If I had the right kind of brain, I would have been an astronomer.  However, I’m more of a reader than a scientist, so instead of studying… Continue reading

    Book Review: The Accidental Recluse by Tom McCulloch

    Book Review: The Accidental Recluse by Tom McCulloch

    I was so pleased when Sandstone Press reached out about reviewing this book.  Although it is outside the genres I have been reading lately, I was intrigued by the synopsis and the settings. Continue reading

    Review: The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

    Review: The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

    The Cruel Prince was one of the most highly anticipated releases of 2018.  Released in January, it has already caused a stir among fans and newcomers to Holly Black’s books.  I’ve never read any of her books before, so when The Cruel Prince arrived in my January FairyLoot box, I was intrigued. Continue reading

    Weekly Wrap-Up: 13 April 2018

    Weekly Wrap-Up: 13 April 2018

    Happy Friday!  It has technically been a short week for me, but I’m still so excited for the weekend.  This week was an incredibly exciting one, mainly because Scottish Fiance and I went to the Harry Potter Studios in London!  So much wizardy goodness was had and I’m still patiently waiting for my Hogwarts letter… Continue reading

    Review: Planetfall by Emma Newman

    Review: Planetfall by Emma Newman

    When I requested a copy of Planetfall, I assumed I was going to get a standard ‘humans colonize a planet, things go wrong’ science fiction book — which is great, don’t get me wrong.  However, Planetfall turned out to be one of the most unexpected, brilliant, and compelling sci-fi books I’ve ever read. Continue reading

    Review: State of Sorrow by Melinda Salisbury

    Review: State of Sorrow by Melinda Salisbury

    I didn’t know much about State of Sorrow going in.  Not only did I completely misread the blurb when the book was announced (I thought it was a contemporary book — don’t ask), I just picked it up on blind faith due to the cover and the author.  I enjoyed The Sin Eater’s Daughter and… Continue reading

    Weekly Wrap-Up: 06 April 2018

    Weekly Wrap-Up: 06 April 2018

    Happy Friday!  Why is it that four day work weeks always feel so long?  I feel like time has been absolutely dragging! This has been a really interesting week for reading.  I’ve had some ups and some downs, but it was rounded off nicely with a lovely author event last night!  Bonus: I have something… Continue reading

    April 2018 TBR

    April 2018 TBR

    So my intention for this month was to have essentially no TBR and ‘shop my shelves’ for books I’ve had lying around and may have forgotten about.  I decided to pick out a couple of priority titles and go from there.  Guess how many ‘priority’ books I picked?  14.  So I guess I unintentionally picked… Continue reading

    March 2018 Reading Round-Up

    March 2018 Reading Round-Up

    So March was an unexpectedly great month for reading.  I’ve been feeling like I’ve not been reading enough lately, but that’s clearly not true.  Why?  I read 12 books in March.  12 books!  To be fair, they were a combination of full-length novels, shorter books, and graphic novels (which I absolutely power through).  Regardless, I’m… Continue reading

    Announcement: Spring Cleaning Readathon!

    Announcement: Spring Cleaning Readathon!

    So this is incredibly short notice, but bear with me.  I feel like life has been just so crazy lately that I haven’t really had the time to sit down with a book and relax.  I’ve really missed my leisurely reading time! So, what to do about this? Fortunately my realisations come at a very… 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.
