ARC Review: Flame in the Mist
I read The Wrath and the Dawn for the first time in anticipation of Flame in the Mist’s release, but I really wish I hadn’t — I couldn’t help but compare the two. I did enjoy this book — it has a well-constructed world filled with interesting men and women and a hint of magic.… Continue reading

Instagram Sundays
It’s time for Instagram Sundays — a roundup of this week’s bookstagam posts. This week’s post is brought to you by my birthday and a weekend in London. This is an advance copy I was sent for review.

Disney Princess Book Tag
Well, here are two of my interests combined! I’m not a huge Disney person in general, but I grew up on the princesses (I’m pretty sure I wore out my VHS copy of The Little Mermaid). Thank you so much to Nadwa from Painfully Fictional for tagging me! 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
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).
