Flash Reviews: Science Fiction Classics

So I have been reading a lot lately. Seriously, a lot. And while I’ve been trying to dedicate myself to writing a review for every single book I read, that’s just not really possible. Sometimes, regardless of my feelings for a book, I just can’t quite come up with a full-length review! This is neither… Continue reading

Book Review: The Diviners by Libba Bray

The Diviners is a book that has been on my radar for absolute ages. It was brought to my attention again thanks to the book blogging community, and I’m so glad I picked it up. It is a difficult one to rate, though. I really loved it — seriously, it has been one of my… Continue reading

Blog Tour: Paris Adrift by E. J. Swift

I’m so happy to be part of the Paris Adrift blog tour! This weird and wonderful book is one that has stuck with me long after reading. So let’s start out by saying that Paris Adrift is a very strange and surreal book. If the surreal isn’t your thing, I’d suggest approaching with caution. However… 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.
