Anti-Book Haul: A Wishlist

Hi guys! I’m working on saving some cash at the moment because October was such disastrous month for book buying. I wouldn’t call this a book buying ban — mostly because that makes me want to buy books even more — but we’ll say it’s a slow-down on my spending. Besides, Christmas is coming soon,… Continue reading

October Reading Round-Up

Hi all! Despite it being a weird month, I got some serious reading done. Victober was a bit of a disaster, as I finished absolutely zero Victorian novels this month! Due to real life circumstances, I was just not in the mood for that kind of fiction. Instead, I ended up reading lots of science… Continue reading

Weekly (Plus Hiatus) Wrap-Up: 26 October 2017

Happy Friday! I can’t believe the weekend is already here. So as you know, I had been on hiatus until earlier this week. I thought that I’d do a wrap-up of the books I read this week and the books I read while I was away from here — and I certainly read a lot… Continue reading

ARC Review: The Last Namsara by Kristen Ciccerelli

The Last Namsara is the YA fantasy debut that everyone needs to be talking about. I’m a little torn on this one because there was so much that I really loved about this book, but I also had some issues. 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.
