Weekly Wrap-Up: 20 April 2018
Happy (incredibly warm) Friday! The weather has finally warmed up here in the UK and everyone is uncomfortably warm. My Los Angeles heart is so thrilled to actually see and feel the sun again. Sunny weather is almost as good as chilly rain for reading, so let’s see what my week looked like in books. Continue reading

Book Review: Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi
There’s a good chance you’ve heard of Children of Blood and Bone — it has taken the publishing world by storm. With hype surrounding this book literally from the moment it sold, I think it makes sense to be cautious — most of us have been burned by hype before. However, I’m here to tell… Continue reading

Flash Reviews: Nonfiction Science
It’s time for another set of flash reviews! Today, I’m focusing on nonfiction science, specifically books about space. Now you may know that I’m completely obsessed with space. If I had the right kind of brain, I would have been an astronomer. However, I’m more of a reader than a scientist, so instead of studying… Continue reading

Review: Planetfall by Emma Newman
When I requested a copy of Planetfall, I assumed I was going to get a standard ‘humans colonize a planet, things go wrong’ science fiction book — which is great, don’t get me wrong. However, Planetfall turned out to be one of the most unexpected, brilliant, and compelling sci-fi books I’ve ever read. Continue reading

Review: State of Sorrow by Melinda Salisbury
I didn’t know much about State of Sorrow going in. Not only did I completely misread the blurb when the book was announced (I thought it was a contemporary book — don’t ask), I just picked it up on blind faith due to the cover and the author. I enjoyed The Sin Eater’s Daughter and… Continue reading

Happy Friday! Why is it that four day work weeks always feel so long? I feel like time has been absolutely dragging! This has been a really interesting week for reading. I’ve had some ups and some downs, but it was rounded off nicely with a lovely author event last night! Bonus: I have something… Continue reading

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
