Weekly Wrap-Up: 27 April 2018
It’s Friday and I’m wondering where all the warm weather from last week has gone. Is British summer already over? Say it isn’t so! It’s pouring rain here, which means it’s perfect reading weather at least. Continue reading

Book Review: Space Opera by Catherynne M. Valente
I rarely review books that I DNF (did not finish), however I really wanted to talk about this one. Why? Because I’m so upset that it didn’t deliver. Space Opera sounded like the absolute perfect book for me — it’s Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy meets Eurovision. I wanted to love this book so badly, but… Continue reading

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.

Weekly Wrap-Up: 13 April 2018
Happy Friday! It has technically been a short week for me, but I’m still so excited for the weekend.

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

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

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
