    Happy weekend!  I’ve taken a little break from reading the past few days and it has done me a world of good!  Sometimes I get a little overwhelmed by the sheer volume of books I have to read. Yikes!  Continue reading

    September TBR Strategy

    September TBR Strategy

    It’s the first of September and that means two things – I’ll have to start wearing a jacket to work and it’s time for this month’s reading strategy!  I really love doing these post because they help remind me of what’s been hiding in my TBR pile and gives me a little nudge of motivation.

    August Reading Round Up

    August Reading Round Up

    We interrupt your regularly scheduled TBR Thursday to bring you this month’s reading round up!  August has come and gone much too quickly if you ask me.  I can’t believe fall is almost here!  Fall and winter are quickly becoming my favorite seasons.  I’m a Southern California girl, but moving to the UK has made… Continue reading

    ARC Review: A Pocketful of Crows

    ARC Review: A Pocketful of Crows

    Ever since reading her wonderful book The Gospel of Loki, I’ve been meaning to read more by Joanne M. Harris.  She’s a wonderful storyteller and seems to favor mythology lately, a big plus in my book, so I was thrilled to receive an early copy of Pocketful of Crows. Continue reading

    ARC Review: The Diabolic

    ARC Review: The Diabolic

    There are times when a book comes into your life that you think you won’t like, but you somehow end up loving.  That book for me was The Diabolic.  It has so many elements that I usually dislike: an overpowered heroine, a cocky-on-the-outside-but-soft-and-squishy-on-the-inside hero, the ‘this could all be resolved if we actually sat down… Continue reading

    Weekly Wrap-Up #19

    Weekly Wrap-Up #19

      Happy Friday, you guys!  We have a bank holiday weekend here in the UK, and I’m gearing up for a nice long weekend in London with my family.  It was a pretty dismal week for reading – I blame the fact that I reactivated my Eve Online subscription and rediscovered my love of knitting/crocheting.… Continue reading

    ARC Review: Daughter of the Burning City

    ARC Review: Daughter of the Burning City

    Daughter of the Burning City is the much-hyped debut novel from Amanda Foody.  I was approved to read this book a few months back but was holding off for some reason.  Good reviews kept pouring in and when I saw early copies on sale at YALC, I had to have a physical copy.  I’m so… Continue reading

    Book Haul!

    Join me in my shame, everyone. So yesterday was payday, and I needed to pop over to Waterstones to pick up my book club’s next book.  I headed over with my friend and after much perusing and book chat, I grabbed my book (plus one more).   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.
