ARC Review: The Thousandth Floor by Katharine McGee
I’m going to start off by saying that I’ve never read or watched Gossip Girl. Shocking, I know. Why do I mention this? The Thousandth Floor has been heavily promoted as ‘Gossip Girl in the 22nd century’. I can go in for some fun drama if it’s well done, so I decided to pick this… Continue reading

Science fiction is one of my favourite genres, and I was looking forward to a young adult take. I made… Continue reading

August TBR Strategy
I find these monthly TBR strategies really helpful. I’m the kind of person who instantly rebels against any kind of restriction for my reading, so I tend to use them more like guidelines than strict rules. My digital and physical TBR piles are absolutely staggering right now. Continue reading
