Book Review: The Starlight Watchmaker by Lauren James
I absolutely love Lauren James’s The Loneliest Girl in the Universe, so I was naturally thrilled to pick up a copy of her latest book, The Starlight Watchmaker. A novella from Barrington Stoke, a publisher that focuses on readable books for dyslexic and reluctant young readers, I couldn’t wait to get my paws on this… Continue reading

Book Review: Sorcerer to the Crown by Zen Cho
Sorcerer to the Crown is a book that has been on my radar for years, but I never picked up for whatever reason. After meeting Zen at the MCM Comic Con Blogger Brunch and being totally charmed by her, I decided to pick up the audiobook. I’m so glad I did! Sorcerer to the Crown… Continue reading

Weekly Wrap-Up: 16 August 2019
Happy Friday, everyone! This week has flown by and it has been a really good one for reading. This is mostly because Scottish Husband is currently away on a work trip and I’ve just been reading the days away. I’ve also been squishing the cats a lot — they’re not pleased. Continue reading

Book Review: Silver in the Wood by Emily Tesh
Much to my surprise, I have been reading and loving a number of novellas this year. While it is not a format I usually gravitate toward, I am finding myself loving these shorter tales.

Book Review: The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal
The Calculating Stars seems to be the book that everyone is talking about in the sci-fi world.

Lady astronauts, an alternate version of the 1950’s, and smashing the patriarchy with science?… Continue reading

Book Review: The Dragon Republic by R. F. Kuang
I’m very vocal about the fact that The Poppy War was my favourite book of 2018, so I was naturally extremely excited to dive into The Dragon Republic as soon as I could, but I was a little nervous. The second book in a trilogy is a difficult one to pull off, as it deals… Continue reading

Book Review: Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson
I was captivated by the cover of Rogerson’s debut, An Enchantment of Ravens, but was ultimately lukewarm on the book itself. Despite this, I perked up when I heard about the release of Sorcery of Thorns. Not only does Sorcery have a great cover as well, it sounded like my exact cup of tea where Enchantment did… Continue reading

Monthly Reading Wrap-Up: July 2019
I would like to file a complaint. How is it already August? It’s completely baffling to me and I’d love to know when I time traveled because this is ridiculous. The month of July was kind of crazy, as I feel like it always is. What is it about summer months and me going to… Continue reading
