Book Review: The Guinevere Deception by Kiersten White
I’m always on the lookout for new and interesting retellings that are a little different from the standard fairy tale retellings we see so often in YA, so I was immediately drawn to The Guinevere Deception. I had never read anything by Kiersten White before, so I didn’t quite know what to expect. I ended… Continue reading

Monthly Reading Wrap-Up: October 2019
I am a few days late with this post because, well, I totally forgot about it. However, I am pleased to report that October was a fantastic reading month for me! I struggled a little in September, but was able to turn things around this past month. So pleased! Take a look at what I… Continue reading

Book Review: Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson
It has been hard to escape the hype for Truly Devious, a book that has taken the YA book world by storm, and I was totally taken in by it. I try to not let hype dictate my reading choices — I so often end up disappointed — but I was just so curious about… Continue reading

Book Review: Priest of Bones by Peter McLean
I had taken a long, unintentional break from grimdark, one of my favourite genres, but started to slowly return to it in the second half of 2019. Enter Priest of Bones, a book that I had heard a lot about but hadn’t actually read. I bought it awhile back because the author is lovely on… Continue reading

Weekly Wrap-Up: 25 October 2019
Happy Friday! I can’t believe that we’re nearly at the end of October. Halloween is coming up, I’ve got bookish plans for the weekend, and I’ve been reading up a storm! This week, I’ve managed to read the same number of books as I did in the month of September. Crazy, huh? Sci-fi and fantasy… Continue reading

I’ve read a ton of books this week (I don’t know what magical thing happened this week but I’m definitely pleased), and today is the start of the Off the Grid readathon so I should get… Continue reading

Book Review: The Death of Mrs Westaway by Ruth Ware
I find often thrillers really hit or miss for me — sometimes they’re the most amazing reading experience or they completely fall flat. I hadn’t ever picked up a Ruth Ware book before, so I didn’t have many expectations going in despite hearing great things about her writing. However, I am so pleased to say… Continue reading

The Off the Grid Readathon Awakens
Guess what time it is, y’all? It’s time for the Off the Grid readathon! Shanah from Bionic Bookworm came up with this fantastic quarterly readathon in 2018, and the time has come for our fifth round! I love this readathon so much because it’s so low-key yet effective. If you’re anything like me, you always complain about Continue reading

Blog Tour: Angel Mage by Garth Nix
Welcome to my stop on the Angel Mage blog tour! Although I’m a latecomer to Garth Nix’s fantasy books, having only just read Sabriel earlier this year, I was super excited to read his latest book. Angel Mage is his first adult fantasy book, and it’s a proper chunky tome too! Continue reading

Book Review: Darkdawn by Jay Kristoff
The Nevernight Chronicles has been one of my favourite series since I discovered it about this time last year. I loved Nevernight, absolutely adored Godsgrave, and therefore had sky-high expectations for the concluding book, Darkdawn. Unfortunately after two amazing books, the final installment in this series was a serious disappointment. I am going to keep… Continue reading
