Book Review: The Wicked King by Holly Black
So if you read my review of The Cruel Prince last year, you may recall that I was not hugely impressed. Fae books don’t often work for me, and while I liked The Cruel Prince more than the other fae books I’ve read, I thought it was a great, big mess of a book with… Continue reading

You know that feeling when you love a book and you can’t quite put into words why? You just want to run around, throwing copies of it into the hands of unsuspecting readers? That’s how I feel about The Gutter Prayer, Gareth Hanrahan’s astonishing debut. The Gutter Prayer is a breath of fresh air in… Continue reading

Welcome to my stop on the Winter of the Witch blog tour! You may know by now how much I absolutely love the Winternight trilogy, and while I was so sad that the series is coming to and end, I knew I had to read The Winter of the Witch as soon as possible –… Continue reading

Book Review: Dumplin’ by Julie Murphy
I am not much of a contemporary YA reader, however I fell in love with the trailer for Dumplin’ on Netflix. I watched the film and absolutely adored it, so I naturally decided to read the book that it is based on. For me, this is one of those rare instances of the film adaptation… Continue reading

Book Review: The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley
I’ve been on the hunt for a great thriller ever since finishing up The Girl on the Train back in 2015. I don’t read thrillers to often, but the ones I’ve read lately have felt like a letdown. Enter The Hunting Party, a twisted tale of murder amongst friends in the Scottish highlands. I was… Continue reading

Book Review: The Library of Fates by Aditi Khorana
The Library of Fates is a book I hadn’t heard much about, but the lovely cover stuck firmly in my mind. When I had the chance to borrow the book from a friend, I snapped up the opportunity. While I enjoyed The Library of Fates, I felt like it didn’t quite live up to its… Continue reading

The week before the holidays always feels so incredibly slow and boring — except for this year. Why is it so busy? Why am I running around frantically? I should be filling up on chocolate and holiday cheer! Continue reading

Book Review: The Way Past Winter by Kiran Millwood Hargrave
There’s nothing better than an exceptionally cosy and atmospheric novel, and The Way Past Winter is exactly that. I absolutely loved Hargraves’ debut novel, The Girl of Ink and Stars, and was so looking forward to reading another middle grade adventure from her, and The Way Past Winter did not disappoint. Continue reading

Book Review: Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson
Warbreaker was the only adult Brandon Sanderson novel I hadn’t read yet (until Oathbringer came out, that is), and I have no idea why I never bothered to pick it up. Going in, I didn’t even know what it as about because I trust Sanderson enough to jump in without reading the synopsis. So imagine… Continue reading
