Reading Wrap-Up: 04 January 2019

The first week of January is nearly over, and I’m still not out of holiday mode. I’ve been back at work for a few days now and my brain is still at home in front of the fire with a dog and a book. Boo. Books I read The Girl King by Mimi… Continue reading

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

Christmas! Christmas! ChristmasChristmasChristmas! I’m heading home for Christmas tonight, can you tell? The week before the holidays always feels so incredibly slow and boring — except for this year. Why is it so busy? Why am I running around frantically?

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

Weekly Wrap-Up: 14 December 2018

One week until Christmas! ONE WEEK UNTIL CHRISTMAS! I feel like the holidays can’t come quickly enough. Also, how is it still so busy? It is truly a mystery. Despite my absolute love of the holidays, I feel like I haven’t been Christmassy enough this year. Perhaps that will change next week! Now on to… Continue reading

About Me

Welcome to my corner of the bookish internet. I’m an American who has lived in the UK for almost 10 years, a publishing professional, and lifelong lover of books. I make it my mission to shout about books all over the internet and share my enthusiasm with other readers. I read a little bit of everything, but my main genres of choice are horror, fantasy, and science fiction.

I aim to start conversations about books and reading, link readers to new authors and titles they’ll love, provide insightful review the books I’m reading, and discover new writers and subgenres on this blog.
