Announcement: Spring Cleaning Readathon!
So this is incredibly short notice, but bear with me. I feel like life has been just so crazy lately that I haven’t really had the time to sit down with a book and relax.

Discussion: How Do You Read Series?
It’s discussion time again! One of the side effects of blogging is that I’m becoming more and more aware that other people have vastly different reading habits from myself. What a weird concept. One thing I’ve realised is the fact that everyone reads series in a different way. Continue reading

Flash Reviews: Science Fiction Classics
So I have been reading a lot lately. Seriously, a lot. And while I’ve been trying to dedicate myself to writing a review for every single book I read, that’s just not really possible.

ARC Review: Batman: Nightwalker by Marie Lu
I have been a life-long Batman fan. Ever since the days of the animated series, I’ve loved watching the World’s Greatest Detective solve crimes, kick butt, and hang out with Catwoman. I’ve read a few of the Batman graphic novels, however it’s just a format that I don’t particularly enjoy. So when it was announced… Continue reading

The Best Books of 2017
I’m a little late on this one, but I didn’t have my laptop with me while I was away for the Christmas holiday. I also like to make these posts after the year is through — I’m always worried I’ll read an incredible book after I post my list (that would have happened this year,… Continue reading
