    Weekly Wrap-Up: 23 March 2018

    Happy Friday!  It has been an absolutely hectic week — you can’t imagine how relieved I am for the weekend!  Regardless of the week’s craziness, I managed to read two books this week.  Not bad! Continue reading

    Discussion: How Do You Read Series?

    Discussion: How Do You Read Series?

    It’s discussion time again! One of the side effects of blogging is that I’m becoming more and more aware that other people have vastly different reading habits from myself.  What a weird concept.  One thing I’ve realised is the fact that everyone reads series in a different way.   Continue reading

    Book Review: Forest of a Thousand Lanterns by Julie C. Dao

    Book Review: Forest of a Thousand Lanterns by Julie C. Dao

    Forest of a Thousand Lanterns was a book I had extremely high hopes for. Billed as an east-Asian retelling of the ‘evil queen’ myth so prevalent in fairy tales. I love a good villain/anti-heroine and I feel like we just don’t get enough of them in fantasy, particularly YA fantasy. So with high hopes for… Continue reading

    Weekly Wrap-Up: 16 March 2018

    Weekly Wrap-Up: 16 March 2018

    Happy Friday!  My weekly wrap-ups went missing from the blog for the entire month of February. I was so busy with life stuff that I just didn’t get around to them. Also, there was a complete lack of internet in the new flat until this week. So here is the triumphant return of my weekly… Continue reading

    Book Review: Scythe by Neil Schusterman

    Book Review: Scythe by Neil Schusterman

    Scythe is a book that has taken the UK book blogging community by storm. It is much-beloved by our US pals, and the highly anticipated sequel has just been released in the States. I was really looking forward to this book, however I ended up a little let down by the lackluster characters and plot. Continue reading

    March 2018 TBR

    March 2018 TBR

    I have decided to do something a little bit different with my TBR this month.  I’ll usually have about 12-15 books on my TBR to give myself a little variety during the month, but that means I usually don’t finish them.  February was a little bit of a disaster in terms of my TBR for… Continue reading

    Blog Tour: Children of Blood and Bone

    I’m so thrilled to be participating in the Now We Rise blog tour!  As you have probably heard, Children of Blood and Bone is the new YA fantasy novel that is taking the world by storm.  I was lucky enough to read a proof copy of this book, and it’s safe to say I was… Continue reading

    Mini Hiatus: The Case of the Missing Internet Connection

    Mini Hiatus: The Case of the Missing Internet Connection

    Hi all! You may have noticed I’ve not really been around much lately. That’s because we have no Internet in the new flat! I’ve run out of scheduled posts, so there won’t be much coming up here this week. Sorry! I’m still active on Twitter and Instagram (nothing can keep me away), so give me… Continue reading

    Reading Round-up: February 2018

    My monthly TBR was mostly set by Scottish Fiance, but the whole TBR was thrown out of whack for a number of reasons (the main one being that we accidentally left the backpack containing all my books on the train home from Edinburgh and it had to be rescued by my mum the next day),… 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.
