    ARC Review: There’s Someone Inside Your House

    ARC Review: There’s Someone Inside Your House

    There’s Someone Inside Your House was one of my top priorities for YALC.  I hadn’t read anything by Perkins before, but it looked like the absolute perfect nostalgia trip.  Growing up in the 90’s, teen slasher flicks were everywhere.  While I was too terrified to actually watch most of them until I was older, they… Continue reading

    Instagram Sundays

    Instagram Sundays

    Hi all, happy Sunday!  This week is a little sparse in Instagram posts.  As I mentioned on Friday, I’ve been busy catching up with work and life after being sick all of last week.  I should be back up and running now, but clearly I haven’t been paying enough attention to Instagram.

    Weekly Wrap-Up #18

    It’s Friday!  I’m looking forward to a weekend of sitting on my butt and doing absolutely nothing.  After being out of work sick all of last week, I’ve been doing a lot of catch up work and the week has had its ups and downs.  I missed my Monday post, but seem to have gotten… Continue reading

    ARC Review: Sea of Rust

    ARC Review: Sea of Rust

    Sea of Rust first drew my eye because it has one of the most stunning covers I’ve seen this year, and we’ve established here before that I am incredibly shallow when it comes to my books.  I was delighted by the description — it sounded so incredibly Asimovian and old-school sci-fi that I had to… Continue reading

    A Beginner’s Guide to Science Fiction: Part One

    A Beginner’s Guide to Science Fiction: Part One

    I’ve been thinking about doing this for awhile.  Science fiction is such an incredibly rich genre, but it’s hard to figure out where to start!  Whether you’ve been a fan of sci-fi TV and movies or just curious to dip a toe into a new genre, I promise that there’s something out there for you!

    Weekly Wrap-Up #17

    Happy Friday, all!  This week has been a little rough for me because I’ve been under the weather.  I’ve missed almost an entire week of work  (despite going into the office twice).  I’m starting to pull through, and just in time!  I’ve got my book club this evening, where I’ll be hanging out with fabulous… 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.
