Weekly Wrap-Up: 07 December 2018
The year is almost over — can you believe it? It feels like it should still be September, maybe October. Where has the time gone? At least I get to be super Christmassy without judgement. 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

Book Review: Mirage by Somaiya Daud
I absolutely love those rare books that combine science fiction and fantasy elements. Naturally I was naturally thrilled when I heard about Mirage, a Moroccan-inspired YA book that does just that. If you’re looking for a gorgeous tale with lush worldbuilding, I couldn’t recommend Mirage more highly. Continue reading

Hi. This is a bit late. October was an absolutely crazy month, then NaNoWriMo took over my life in November. During these two months, I took a little bit of a step back from reading, blogging, videoing, Instagramming, everything.

Blog Tour: Skyward by Brandon Sanderson
Brandon Sanderson is an author I trust completely. I will buy every single one of his books because I know I will like them.

Mini Hiatus Announcement: NaNoWriMo!
Hello everyone! I’ve been around here a little less than usual because I’m participating in NaNoWriMo. In case you don’t know, NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month and it takes place every November. Everyone’s goals are a little different for NaNoWriMo, but most people (like me) aim to write 50,000 words in 30 days.… Continue reading

Book Review: The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee
The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue was a smash hit last year, and the sequel has been getting so much attention and hype. I really enjoyed the first book, although the fantasy elements threw me off a bit. Rather than following our beloved Monty and Percy, The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy follows Monty’s… Continue reading

Book Review: The Royal Runaway by Lindsay Emory
Despite living in the UK now, I’m not a huge Royal Family person. However, I’ve always loved a good princess story and grew up on Disney films. The Royal Runaway sounded like my exact cup of tea — like The Princess Diaries, but all grown up. I threw myself into Theodora’s world and drank it… Continue reading
