Book Review: I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith
I Capture the Castle is one of those great childhood classics that I never managed to read when I was actually a kid. But after some persuading (pressure) from my sister Julia on our podcast, I decided to pick it up for the first time. Despite having seen the movie ages ago, I didn’t remember… Continue reading

Book Review: An Assassin’s Guide to Love and Treason by Virginia Boecker
I’m always on the hunt for some good historical fiction, and An Assassin’s Guide to Love and Treason caught my eye for a few reasons.

Book review: The Devouring Gray by Christine Lynn Herman
The Devouring Gray is a book that has had so much buzz around it over the past year. Although it was one of my most highly anticipated books of the spring, I figured it would be a fun but over hyped book — I’ve been burned by this before and I try to be cautious… Continue reading

Book Review: The Princess and the Fangirl by Ashley Poston
I loved Geekerella back in 2017, so I was thrilled to see that it was getting a companion novel. Although I’m not a huge fan of contemporary YA books, Poston’s convention romances are such fun reads and love letters to geek culture. Continue reading

Book Review: Before Mars by Emma Newman

Each Planetfall book is a little different, and Before Mars is… Continue reading

Book Review: The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon
I’m going to be completely honest, I don’t really know how to write this review. I’ve had The Bone Season on my radar since it came out in 2013. My mum heard about it on the radio and bought a copy because she thought we might be interested. I never got around to picking it… Continue reading

Book Review: The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon
I had been desperately waiting to get hold of a copy of The Priory of the Orange Tree, and it finally landed in my hands in February. It’s a chunky 800-page fantasy tome that is packed with cool dragons, mighty queens, fierce warriors, and enough court intrigue and conspiracy to warm my heart. I was… Continue reading

Book Review: The Tesla Legacy by K. K. Pérez
I’m always on the lookout for some good science fiction, and The Tesla Legacy caught my eye. Not only did I meet the author at YALC last year, it’s a YA sci-fi novel set in a modern high school that sounded so much fun. I whipped through this book incredibly quickly — it’s a perfect… Continue reading
