Weekly Reading Wrap-Up: 24 May 2019

I feel like April lasted forever and now the universe is trying to correct itself by moving at warp speed through May. Just me? Maybe? Okay. I’ve been reading quite a lot lately, but it doesn’t necessarily reflect… Continue reading

Book Review: I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith
I Capture the Castle is one of those great childhood classics that I never managed to read when I was actually a kid. But after some persuading (pressure) from my sister Julia on our podcast, I decided to pick it up for the first time. Despite having seen the movie ages ago, I didn’t remember… Continue reading

Book review: The Devouring Gray by Christine Lynn Herman

Book Review: The Princess and the Fangirl by Ashley Poston
I loved Geekerella back in 2017, so I was thrilled to see that it was getting a companion novel. Although I’m not a huge fan of contemporary YA books, Poston’s convention romances are such fun reads and love letters to geek culture. Continue reading

My NetGalley TBR: A Selection
A confession: I’m terrible at keeping up with my NetGalley books. I can be super excited to read something, but ultimately I’m more tempted by physical books than eBooks. Despite this, I have some amazing stuff just waiting for me on my Kindle. I pulled a couple of titles here to not only show off… Continue reading

Book Review: Before Mars by Emma Newman
I make no secret of the fact that Emma Newman is one of my favourite authors. I absolutely loved the first two books in her Planetfall series, Planetfall and After Atlas, so I had faith in the fact that I’d also love Before Mars. Each Planetfall book is a little different, and Before Mars is… Continue reading
