Book Review: Tempests and Slaughter by Tamora Pierce
Tamora Pierce was my J. K. Rowling (along with, well, J. K. Rowling) when I was a kid and her books are one of the reasons I grew up to be the reader and the person I am today. My library had copies of the Song of the Lioness quartet and a few others scattered… Continue reading

Book Review: Nevernight by Jay Kristoff
I had never read anything by Jay Kristoff before, but I know his books are so beloved by so many readers. I hadn’t gotten around to reading him because I was convinced I wouldn’t enjoy them — I’m not really sure where that idea came from but it stuck. Shanah from Bionic Bookworm convinced me… Continue reading

Book Review: Wildcard by Marie Lu
I read Warcross last year and tore through it. I’m not usually the type to like books about virtual reality and video games, however I found the world of Warcross to be so incredibly compelling and I really loved the characters. Eager to read more about this thrilling world, I was thrilled to read an… Continue reading

Weekly Wrap-Up: 14 September 2018
I spent a good portion of yesterday convinced it was Wednesday. Where has this week gone? No, seriously. Where? September is absolutely flying by and I cannot believe it! Fortunately, we have books to keep us sane during these crazy months. Continue reading

Book Review: City of Ghosts by Victoria Schwab
I’ve been curious about Victoria Schwab’s new middle grade tale because it’s such a departure from her adult fantasy novels. As you all may know, I’m not a huge fan of her adult books but really like her as a person. City of Ghosts sounded promising because it contains so many things I love –… Continue reading

Book Review: Bloody Rose by Nicholas Eames
Kings of the Wyld was one of my favourite books this year. It is so funny and filled with heart — it’s the perfect kind of book for me. I knew that it would be a tough act to follow, but when I realised the sequel, Bloody Rose, was coming out I knew I had… Continue reading

Weekly Wrap-Up: 07 September 2018
Happy Friday, all! It seems crazy to me that the first week of September is nearly over. This week has absolutely flown by — I feel like I’ve been so incredibly busy. On the bright side, the weather is starting to cool off (and I hope it stays that way), and optimum reading temperatures are… Continue reading

Book Review: Gilded Cage by Vic James
Gilded Cage was such an interesting reading experience for me. It started out incredibly slow — to the point where I considered setting it aside in favour of other book several times — but had one of the most explosive and exciting endings I’ve ever read. Parts of it were absolutely amazing, while others just… Continue reading

Monthly Reading Wrap-Up: August 2018
August is a weird month, isn’t it? I felt like it was crawling by at first, then it suddenly flew past and now it’s almost September! Where did the time go? No seriously, where did it go? On the bright side, I had a great reading month! I stuck to my book buying ban and… Continue reading

Book Review: All Systems Red by Martha Wells
Apparently this has been the Summer of the Novella for me — I recently read the three books in the Wayward Children series by Seanan McGuire and The Blue Salt Road by Joanne M. Harris. While novellas aren’t something I often read, I really feel like I’ve been missing out on great stories lately. All… Continue reading
