Book Review: Prosper’s Demon by K. J. Parker
Prosper’s Demon was one of my most highly anticipated January releases, in part because of its astonishing cover — yes, I am shallow. While this horror novella wasn’t necessarily what I expected or craved, I enjoyed this strange and snarky tale of demonic possession and exorcism. Continue reading

Book Review: Infinity Son by Adam Silvera
I’ve never read an Adam Silvera book, as he tends to write contemporary YA, but I’ve heard good things about his stories and writing. Naturally, I snapped up the opportunity to read his first fantasy novel, Infinity Son. I didn’t really know what to expect going into this book, but found Infinity Son to be… Continue reading

Weekly Wrap-Up: 13 December 2019
Happy Friday! Isn’t it insane that Christmas is nearly here? And 2020? I’m working away on reducing my ‘must read’ books for 2019 while trying to get a head start on 2020 titles. Fortunately for me, it was a really good reading week for me (especially after last week’s embarrassing result). Check out the books… Continue reading

Book Review: Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham
I’ve been wanting to pick up more classic science fiction lately, so I pulled Day of the Triffids off my shelf. It had been sitting there for well over a year and I had never picked it up. Despite it being a famous novel and film, I didn’t know anything about Day of the Triffids… Continue reading

Book Review: Thunderhead by Neil Schusterman
I make no secret of the fact that I was hugely let down by Scythe, one of the major YA releases of 2018. I loved the world and society, the concept of the Scythedom, and the secondary characters Faraday and Currie. However, I absolutely could not stand our protagonists Citra and Rowan. They are so… Continue reading

It’s one of the last weekly wrap-ups of 2019! My, how time flies! Between Christmas celebrations, seeing friends, and trying to wrap up at work before the holidays, I’ve been pretty busy and distracted. Therefore I haven’t finished any new books this week, but I’m in the middle of a bunch of them! Continue reading

Monthly Reading Wrap-Up: November 2019
November has come to a close and now no one has any excuse to make fun of me for my aggressive Christmas cheer — hooray! I fell off the blogging wagon a little toward the end of the month, but my reading has been strong and I’m slowly but surely catching up on reviews. Check… Continue reading

Book Review: The Sharp Edge of a Snowflake by Sif Sigmarsdottir
I went on a big crime novel binge in October and The Sharp Edge of a Snowflake was one of the books I picked up. I adore the author as a person, having met her a couple of times at events like YALC, and this was the perfect time to pick up her latest book.… Continue reading

Weekly Wrap-Up: 27 November 2019
November is coming to a close (?!) and it’s time to pull out the hot water bottles, cuddly blankets, and hot chocolate mix. With the change in weather it really feels like winter time, and winter time means more reading! This post is quite late, but what the heck, it was mostly written anyway. Check… Continue reading

Book Review: The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper by Hallie Rubenhold
I don’t read a lot of nonfiction, but when I do pick it up I tend to lean toward history books. My friend Amber listened to the audiobook for The Five over the summer and it sounded so intriguing! I ended up picking it up and absolutely loving it too, not just for the social… Continue reading
