Book Review: Gilded Cage by Vic James
Gilded Cage was such an interesting reading experience for me. It started out incredibly slow — to the point where I considered setting it aside in favour of other book several times — but had one of the most explosive and exciting endings I’ve ever read. Parts of it were absolutely amazing, while others just… 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?? I suspect that at this point, I’ll never be a proper grown up. I also had three pieces of cake for breakfast and am bouncing off the walls — that… 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

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

Weekly Wrap-Up: 26 January 2018
Happy Friday! I’ve been a little quiet here and on social media this week because, well, everything else in my life has been crazy! Work is crazy, personal life is crazy, I’m attempting to start training for a half marathon, and we are packing up and heading to Edinburgh on Tuesday. Being so busy is… Continue reading

ARC Review: I Am Thunder by Muhammad Khan
By now you guys know that I am not a fan of contemporary YA books. I just don’t have much of an interest in modern teenagers and their teenage lives. However, I Am Thunder caught my eye because it deals with the radicalization of British teens by religious extremists. I figured it would shape up… Continue reading

Review: Turtles All the Way Down
had read two of John Green’s book before picking up this one and I have to say that I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with him. As in, I loved The Fault in Our Stars and hated (passionately) Looking for Alaska. Knowing this, I approached his latest novel, Turtles All the Way Down,… Continue reading

ARC Review: Batman: Nightwalker by Marie Lu
I have been a life-long Batman fan. Ever since the days of the animated series, I’ve loved watching the World’s Greatest Detective solve crimes, kick butt, and hang out with Catwoman. I’ve read a few of the Batman graphic novels, however it’s just a format that I don’t particularly enjoy. So when it was announced… Continue reading

The Best Books of 2017
I’m a little late on this one, but I didn’t have my laptop with me while I was away for the Christmas holiday. I also like to make these posts after the year is through — I’m always worried I’ll read an incredible book after I post my list (that would have happened this year,… Continue reading

Book Review: The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee
I was so desperate to get my hands on a copy of A Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue. When I finally spotted it in a UK bookstore, I snatched it off the shelf right away, and I’m so glad I did. While there was a ton of hype surrounding the publication of this book,… Continue reading
