    TBR Thursday #3

    TBR Thursday #3

    TBR Thursday is rapidly becoming my favorite weekly post.  This meme was started by Bionic Book Worm.  If you aren’t following her yet, well, you really should be.  Not only does she do great reviews and bookish posts, she’s an all-around lovely person.  All book summaries are courtesy of Goodreads.

    Blog Tour: The Cardinal’s Man by M. G. Sinclair

    Blog Tour: The Cardinal’s Man by M. G. Sinclair

    I am so thrilled to participate in the blog tour for The Cardinal’s Man, the debut novel by M. G. Sinclair!  Promises of a gripping historical fiction featuring a Tyrion Lannister-esque hero immediately grabbed my attention. Continue reading

    Top Ten Tuesday: Series I Need to Finish

    Top Ten Tuesday: Series I Need to Finish

    The fantasy genre is notorious for its long series and hefty books.  As a long-time fantasy reader, there are so many series that I just haven’t managed to finish.  I decided to highlight a few of these unfinished series, along with some non-fantasy series, for Top Ten Tuesday, as The Broke and the Bookish is… Continue reading

    Happy Sunday!  I’m coming to the end of my lovely holiday in Edinburgh. Fortunately for you guys, that means lots of photos! I had a filled Waterstones card (£10 off a purchase for non-UK readers), and decided to pick up the last book in the Shades of Magic trilogy.  I was meh on the first… Continue reading

    ARC Review: The Underground Railroad

    ARC Review: The Underground Railroad

    The Underground Railroad has been on my radar since its publication in 2016.  It received pretty much all of the good press a book could get – it was one of the titles in Oprah’s book club, won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, the National Book Award, and was named as one of the books… Continue reading

    Top Ten Tuesday: Villainous Villains

    Top Ten Tuesday: Villainous Villains

    Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish, but they’re on hiatus so I came up with my own! I absolutely love a great villain.  I often prefer them over heroes because they tend to be more complex and quite frankly, more fun.  I’d do a top ten, however I… Continue reading

    Review: Everything, Everything

    Review: Everything, Everything

    This review will contain spoilers.  If you haven’t read Everything, Everything, you should stay away.  Seriously. I went into this book knowing pretty much nothing about it.  I knew that it had a nice cover and upcoming film.  I also had a basic idea of the plot. 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.
