    December TBR Strategy

    December TBR Strategy

    It’s time for one of the most pointless yet enjoyable posts for me — my monthly TBR!  This was meant to go up on the 1st of December, but due to technical difficulties and laziness…well, it didn’t.  Because of this, there are a couple of books on this TBR that I’ve already read.  You’ll have… Continue reading

    The Anti-Book Haul Strikes Back

    The Anti-Book Haul Strikes Back

    Welcome back to another anti-book haul!  You guys seemed to like my last anti-haul, so I thought I’d bring it back again.  If you didn’t see my last post, an anti-haul is a list of books that I’d really like to buy, but haven’t!  I’m working on saving a little bit of cash for some… Continue reading

    November Reading Round-Up

    Hey guys, guess what? It’s December! Already! I feel like November was just a thing that didn’t happen. This year has absolutely flown by and I’m not sure where the time has gone. But now that November is over, it’s time for my monthly reading round-up. Continue reading

    ARC Review: The Seventh Decimate by Stephen Donaldson

    ARC Review: The Seventh Decimate by Stephen Donaldson

    Stephen Donaldson is one of the kings of 80’s fantasy, however I had never read any of his books before.  When I was presented with an opportunity to read his newest book, The Seventh Decimate, I jumped at the chance. Continue reading

    Book Review: Night of Cake and Puppets

    Book Review: Night of Cake and Puppets

    I read Daughter of Smoke and Bone earlier this year and wasn’t really impressed by it.  I had major issues with the main character Karou going from kickass lady to puddle of tepid water as soon as the romance was introduced.  While I loved Taylor’s gorgeous writing, I really struggled with the romantic aspects of… Continue reading

    Weekly Wrap-Up: 24 November 2017

    Happy Friday!  You guys may have noticed I haven’t been around much this week — I haven’t posted a single thing since last Friday.  Life has been getting in the way, particularly with the holidays coming up.  I did a lot of reading this week, even though it initially may not look like it.

    Weekly Wrap-Up: 17 November 2017

    Happy Friday!  I can’t believe that we’re already more than halfway through November. This year has absolutely flown by and I’m not sure where the time has gone!  Fortunately, this also means that Christmas is inching ever closer.  It’s nearly time to dust off your ugly Christmas jumpers and make a fool of yourself at… Continue reading

    ARC Review: Genuine Fraud by E. Lockhart

    ARC Review: Genuine Fraud by E. Lockhart

    I had never read any of E. Lockhart’s other books, although I keep hearing praise for We Were Liars, but Genuine Fraud looked absolutely fascinating.  I didn’t really know what to expect. Continue reading

    ARC Review: Artemis by Andy Weir

    ARC Review: Artemis by Andy Weir

    So if you’ve seen my Beginner’s Guide to Science Fiction, you’ll know that I love The Martian.  It was the book that really got me into reading sci-fi and it holds a very special place in my heart.  So when I heard that Andy Weir was coming out with a new book, I was so… Continue reading

    Weekly Wrap-Up: 10 November 2017

    Happy Friday!  The weather is finally getting cold here in the UK — I have to wear a scarf to work!  Winter is truly coming, you guys, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Unfortunately with winter comes colds.  I’ve been behind on reading and things due to an icky cold that knocked out my entire… 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.
