    ARC Review: The Futures

    ARC Review: The Futures

    I’ve been reading a lot of books with romance in them lately and The Futures was a great break from that. Be warned: it is not the story of a charming couple meeting, falling in love, and living happily ever after; it is about the breakdown of a relationship that is crumbling before the first… Continue reading

    Review: 1666: Plague, War and Hellfire

    1666 was a watershed year for England. It was the year of the Great Plague; the eruption of the second Dutch War, the clash between two great powers which ultimately ended in one of the English military’s most humiliating defeats; and the Great Fire. 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.
