ARC Review: Red Sister

I admit I’ve only read one of Mark Lawrence’s books, Prince of Thorns, and it wasn’t quite my cup of tea. However I have been following his writing career — he’s a good guy and very active on social media — and when I heard about this book it intrigued me. Continue reading

Review: The Six of Crows Duology

I’ve been thinking that some of the most innovative fantasy over the past few years has been coming from the YA genre and the Six of Crows duology is certainly evidence of that. These two books are absolutely amazing. Seriously, they’re some of the best fantasy I’ve read in ages. 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.
