Book Review: Empire of Sand by Tasha Suri
Empire of Sand was one of my most highly anticipated books of 2018. It sounded like it would be the perfect book for me — it ticks so many of my reader boxes. When I finally got my hands on a copy, however, I found that the reading experience wasn’t quite what I had expected. Continue reading

Book Review: Pages and Co. by Anna James
I had heard so much hype for this incredibly sweet middle grade novel and knew I had to have it. I love books about books so I was bound to fall in love with Pages and Co., but I don’t think I could have anticipated how much I’d adore it. 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

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.

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

Book Review: The Lake House by Kate Morton
I always say that I love historical fiction, however I so rarely read for it. When my sister Julia and I started our podcast You’re Never Going to Read This, I knew I was going to be recommended a fair amount of historical fiction. The Lake House was indeed one of Julia’s pick for me,… Continue reading

Book Review: A Very Large Expanse of Sea by Tahereh Mafi
I rarely read contemporary YA — in fact, I have only read five contemporary YA books this year — but somtimes one really catches my eye. This was the case with A Very Large Expanse of Sea, Tahereh Mafi’s semi-autobiographical novel of life as an American Muslim teen one year after 9/11. Having read and… Continue reading

Book Review: The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
Despite the fact that it hasn’t been released yet, you may have already heard buzz about The Silent Patient. Set to be one of the biggest thriller debuts of 2019, this book has so much hype surrounding it already. I can’t claim to be an expert on the thrillers, but I absolutely love reading them… Continue reading

Book Review: Empress of All Seasons by Emiko Jean
I was so excited to hear that Empress of All Seasons was being published in the UK — an all-girl contest to win the hand of the emperor’s son set in a Japanese-inspired world? Sign me up. I tumbled into the story right away and really enjoyed it — it features strong feminist themes, trope… Continue reading

Book Review: After Atlas by Emma Newman
I am not shy about shouting out my love of Emma Newman’s Planetfall — it is easily one of the best books that I’ve read this year. I have been looking forward to reading After Atlas ever since I finished up Planetfall, but I just hadn’t found the time until this summer. After Atlas is… Continue reading
