April 2018 TBR
So my intention for this month was to have essentially no TBR and ‘shop my shelves’ for books I’ve had lying around and may have forgotten about. I decided to pick out a couple of priority titles and go from there. Guess how many ‘priority’ books I picked? 14. So I guess I unintentionally picked… Continue reading

March 2018 Reading Round-Up
So March was an unexpectedly great month for reading. I’ve been feeling like I’ve not been reading enough lately, but that’s clearly not true. Why? I read 12 books in March. 12 books! To be fair, they were a combination of full-length novels, shorter books, and graphic novels (which I absolutely power through). Regardless, I’m… Continue reading

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. I’ve really missed my leisurely reading time! So, what to do about this? Fortunately my realisations come at a very… Continue reading

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

Book Review: Forest of a Thousand Lanterns by Julie C. Dao
Forest of a Thousand Lanterns was a book I had extremely high hopes for. Billed as an east-Asian retelling of the ‘evil queen’ myth so prevalent in fairy tales. I love a good villain/anti-heroine and I feel like we just don’t get enough of them in fantasy, particularly YA fantasy. So with high hopes for… Continue reading

Weekly Wrap-Up: 16 March 2018
Happy Friday! My weekly wrap-ups went missing from the blog for the entire month of February. I was so busy with life stuff that I just didn’t get around to them. Also, there was a complete lack of internet in the new flat until this week. So here is the triumphant return of my weekly… Continue reading

Book Review: Scythe by Neil Schusterman
Scythe is a book that has taken the UK book blogging community by storm. It is much-beloved by our US pals, and the highly anticipated sequel has just been released in the States. I was really looking forward to this book, however I ended up a little let down by the lackluster characters and plot. Continue reading

March 2018 TBR
I have decided to do something a little bit different with my TBR this month. I’ll usually have about 12-15 books on my TBR to give myself a little variety during the month, but that means I usually don’t finish them. February was a little bit of a disaster in terms of my TBR for… Continue reading

Blog Tour: Children of Blood and Bone
I’m so thrilled to be participating in the Now We Rise blog tour! As you have probably heard, Children of Blood and Bone is the new YA fantasy novel that is taking the world by storm. I was lucky enough to read a proof copy of this book, and it’s safe to say I was… Continue reading

Reading Round-up: February 2018
My monthly TBR was mostly set by Scottish Fiance, but the whole TBR was thrown out of whack for a number of reasons (the main one being that we accidentally left the backpack containing all my books on the train home from Edinburgh and it had to be rescued by my mum the next day),… Continue reading
