    Instagram Sundays

    I’m posting this a little later in the day than I usually like — it has been a busy day!  Scottish Fiancé ran his first race, so my big sister and I made signs to taunt/support him (see photo below).  It has been a really hot day here in London, so there has been a… Continue reading

    Weekly Wrap-Up #12

    Weekly Wrap-Up #12

    It’s Friday, the happiest day of the week!  I didn’t do a weekly wrap-up last week because the last day of the month fell on a Friday – you can read my June round-up here. It has been a tough week for reading and blogging because of general life things (again, all good stuff), but… Continue reading

    Cover Love

    Cover Love

    Anyone who has spent time on this blog knows that I am an absolute sucker for a gorgeous cover. I’ll always pick up a beautifully designed book, and the cover will sway me to purchase a book about 80% of the time. Continue reading

    ARC Review: Lost Boy

    ARC Review: Lost Boy

    While Peter Pan may have originated as a fairly modern play, it has fairy tale status in the public consciousness.  A boy who never grows up, an island filled with childlike wonder, and a grand adventure, the story of Peter Pan has been told by everyone from Disney to London’s west end theaters – it… Continue reading

    July TBR Strategy

    July TBR Strategy

    So I’ve been doing these monthly TBR strategy posts since April.  I find they’re really helpful for organising my thoughts and tackling small-term reading goals.  Here’s my strategy for July. Continue reading

    June Reading Round-Up

    June Reading Round-Up

    The sun is shining, everyone is sneezing, and June is coming to a close.  It has been a very gross and sweaty month here in the UK, but has at least resulted in a lot of indoor reading time for me.  Let’s take a look, shall we? Continue reading

    Discussion: Genre Binge

    Discussion: Genre Binge

    So, I have a problem.  When I like something, I’ll go completely overboard and love it to death.  If I like a song, I’ll play it on repeat until I cannot stand to listen any longer (1997 was a tough year – to this day I cannot listen to ‘My Heart Will Go On’ because… 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.
