Weekly Wrap-Up: 08 February 2019
It may be cold, windy, rainy, and unpleasant outside, but it’s Friday! Thank goodness. Life has been so hectic lately, but I’ve still managed to sit down and read, as well as get some things scheduled in here. That hasn’t left much room for free time though, oh well. Continue reading

Book Review: Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

Monthly Wrap-Up: January 2019
Why is it that January feels like the longest month of the year? Maybe it’s the cold and dark, maybe it’s the fact that it’s the start of a new year. Whatever it is, we survived! Hooray!

Book Review: In an Absent Dream by Seanan McGuire

Weekly Reading Wrap-Up: 11 January 2019
Happy Friday! It has been a roller coaster of a week and while I’ve been reading loads, I didn’t manage to finish anything (I shall explain in a moment). Things might get a little erratic here on the blog as Scottish Fiance and I get all of the planning wrapped up for our wedding (just… Continue reading

Welcome to my stop on the Girl King blog tour! This highly anticipated YA fantasy novel hits shelves on 10 January of this year. I was lucky enough to get my paws on an early copy of this book, and while it wasn’t necessarily my cup of tea I think a lot of readers are… Continue reading
