Flash Reviews: Books That Were Too Good to Review
Occasionally, book bloggers come across a book that’s just too good to review. How could we possibly put into words how much we loved this plot, those characters? Can’t we just flail wildly instead? I rarely struggle with reviewing books, but I’ve encountered two this past year that have just blown my mind. So instead… Continue reading

Blog Tour: Shattermoon by Dominic Dulley @jofletcherbooks
You all know I love a good heist novel, and while I’ve read a fair few fantasy heist books, I don’t think I’ve ever found a science fiction book that fits in this category. You can only imagine how excited I was to hear about Shattermoon. Continue reading

Weekly Wrap-Up: 08 June 2018
Happy Friday! Today is a particularly special Friday because it’s my birthday. I’ve made it to 30 and still don’t feel like an adult. How??

Weekly Reading Wrap-Up: 25 May 2018
Happy Friday everyone! How is May almost over? Seriously, how? You all may have noticed (or not) that I haven’t been great about updating here for a couple of weeks.

Weekly Wrap-Up: 11 May 2018
Happy Friday! This has been a short week here in the UK and it really did fly by. I didn’t do a weekly wrap-up last week because there would have only been a couple days between my monthly and weekly wrap-ups, so this post will feature two weeks worth of books! Continue reading

Book Review: From Darkest Skies by Sam Peters
I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect from this book. I had assumed it would be pretty much a straight science fiction novel heavily featuring AI with a bit of mystery. Instead Peters has created an exciting high-concept sci-fi-meets-crime story with a dash of noir. Continue reading

April 2018 Reading Round-Up
I feel like I say this every month, but I cannot believe how quickly time is passing! April has absolutely flown by and spring is well underway. April has been an amazing month for me: I went to the Harry Potter studio for the first time, chaired my first book event, hosted my first readathon,… Continue reading
