Book Review: The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper by Hallie Rubenhold

I don’t read a lot of nonfiction, but when I do pick it up I tend to lean toward history books. My friend Amber listened to the audiobook for The Five over the summer and it sounded so intriguing! I ended up picking it up and absolutely loving it too, not just for the social… Continue reading

Book Review: All the Bad Apples by Moira Fowley-Doyle

I absolutely loved Spellbook of the Lost and Found when I read it back in 2017. Ever since then, I’ve been a big fan of Doyle’s fantastic, dream-like writing. All the Bad Apples was a hugely anticipated book for me, and I’m so pleased to say that I loved it even more than I could… Continue reading

ARC Review: Invictus by Ryan Graudin

I hadn’t read anything by Ryan Graudin before I started reading Invictus, but I had heard great things about her books. Invictus was easily one of the most highly anticipated proofs at YALC – everyone was so eager to get their hands on it. I didn’t get a proof, but I was able to get… Continue reading

Happy Friday, all! This week has been a little rough for me because I’ve been under the weather. I’ve missed almost an entire week of work (despite going into the office twice). I’m starting to pull through, and just in time! I’ve got my book club this evening, where I’ll be hanging out with fabulous… 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.
