Book Review: Ravencry by Ed McDonald
Blackwing was one of my favourite novels of 2017 — I absolutely loved the refreshing world, story, and characters. I had high expectations for the sequel, and those expectations were absolutely smashed. While some authors struggle with ‘second book syndrome’, McDonald is showing that his talent as a writer is only growing. Continue reading

Blog Tour: Shattermoon by Dominic Dulley @jofletcherbooks
You all know I love a good heist novel, and while I’ve read a fair few fantasy heist books, I don’t think I’ve ever found a science fiction book that fits in this category. You can only imagine how excited I was to hear about Shattermoon. Continue reading

Book Review: The Woman in the Window by A. J. Finn
I feel like I rarely read thrillers, and this is something I’d like to change. Having devoured Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train just before the height of popularity, I figured that The Woman in the Window would be the perfect thriller for me. It is so often compared to those two books… Continue reading

Book Review: IT by Stephen King
I really love Stephen King, but I’ve had a huge gap in my reading for years — I had never read IT. Possibly his most famous novel, IT has been frightening readers for over 30 years. I decided to tackle this weighty book — my physical copy clocks in at right around 1,400 pages –but… Continue reading

Book Review: The Electrical Venus by Julie Mayhew
The Electrical Venus jumped out at me because it is historical young adult fiction — something I don’t think you see very often. On top of that, the book is set in Georgian England, which is even more of a rarity in YA. Although I didn’t know much about it, I decided to give it… Continue reading

Book Review: Bonfire by Krysten Ritter

Book Review: The Poppy War by R. F. Kuang
I had been hearing so much about The Poppy War via social media and knew I had to try for a copy on NetGalley. I began reading my digital ARC, made it a few chapters in, and bought the book. I can confidently say that this is one of the best books I’ve read this… Continue reading

Book Review: Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames
Kings of the Wyld is one of those books I’d been hearing about for ages, bought, and then let languish on my bookshelf. So when Bethan from Bethan May Books suggested we buddy read it, I leapt at the opportunity. The rumours are true, friends, this book is just as fantastic as you’ve heard. Continue reading

Book Review: Guns of the Dawn by Adrian Tchaikovsky
Flintlock fantasy is a subgenre that I’m incredibly unfamiliar with. You can imagine how pleased I was when my fantasy book club picked Guns of the Dawn by Adrian Tchaikovsky as our May read. This ended up being a great book to discuss because there was so much to unpack with the writing, but that’s… Continue reading

Book Review: The Royal Wedding Colouring Book by Adam Rushton
So here’s something a little different for you guys. I was offered a copy of the Royal Wedding Colouring Book by Adam Rushton in exchange for an honest review. Now, I’m not obsessed with the Royals — I think this younger generation is nice and the rest are sort of useless — but you know… Continue reading
