ARC Review: The Last Namsara by Kristen Ciccerelli

The Last Namsara is the YA fantasy debut that everyone needs to be talking about. I’m a little torn on this one because there was so much that I really loved about this book, but I also had some issues. Continue reading

I’m Back! The State of the Blog

Hi all! So I’m back from my two-week hiatus and I thought I’d give you a little update on how things will go here in the future. At the moment, I’m posting six days a week — sometimes seven now that I’m putting up the reading vlog videos — and I’m going to reduce that… Continue reading

ARC Review: The Bastard Legion by Gavin Smith

This is the first book by Gavin Smith that I’ve read, and I’m so happy to say that The Bastard Legion lived up to my hopes and expectations. It has so many things that I absolutely love: a dark and gritty world, cool and complex technology, morally grey characters, and a butt-kicking leading lady. This… Continue reading

Review: Warcross by Marie Lu

I had never read anything by Marie Lu before Warcross came out, but I was always interested. When the opportunity to read this book arose, I knew I had to give her a shot. I wasn’t sure what to expect and I hadn’t read many gaming books. Continue reading

Discussion: Bookish Opinions

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.
