    ARC Review: The Jungle

    ARC Review: The Jungle

    The Jungle was an interesting one for me. I’m not a big fan of contemporary YA, but I saw the subject matter and decided to read it. Continue reading

    Review: The Girl of Ink and Stars

    Review: The Girl of Ink and Stars

    I wandered past and stared at this book at Hatchards about four times before finally buying it. Recent winner of the Waterstones Children’s Prize for 2017, The Girl of Ink and Stars is an incredible read. I didn’t know much about it going in — except that it’s a gorgeous book inside and out.

    Review: Caraval

    Review: Caraval

    There was so much hype surrounding this book’s release. From its stunning cover to the fantastical story, everyone wanted it. I found out about Caraval through social media — you couldn’t throw a figurative rock on Instagram without seeing a photo of its gorgeous cover — and decided to pick it up. Continue reading

    Instagram Sundays

    Happy Sunday!  It has been kind of a slow week, but here’s a wee round up from Instagram. The Great Gatsby was published on 10 April 1925.  This is one of my absolute favorite books, but it was very nearly ruined for me because of high school reading.  What a great cover! I’m a big… Continue reading

    Recommended Reads: Chinese Sci-Fi

    Recommended Reads: Chinese Sci-Fi

    So I recently completed my dissertation on Chinese science fiction and whether or not English-language publishers were missing out on a gap in the market (spoiler alert: results are inconclusive). I’ve had a fair few people ask me for recommendations from my reading list, so I thought I’d post about it here. 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.
