Book Review: Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson

It has been hard to escape the hype for Truly Devious, a book that has taken the YA book world by storm, and I was totally taken in by it. I try to not let hype dictate my reading choices — I so often end up disappointed — but I was just so curious about… Continue reading

Blog Tour: Angel Mage by Garth Nix

Welcome to my stop on the Angel Mage blog tour! Although I’m a latecomer to Garth Nix’s fantasy books, having only just read Sabriel earlier this year, I was super excited to read his latest book. Angel Mage is his first adult fantasy book, and it’s a proper chunky tome too! Continue reading

I can’t believe September is already over! It wasn’t the best reading month for me for a number of reasons, however I did manage to shaving down my TBR a little (although some were DNFs). Fingers crossed for a better reading month in October! Continue reading

Book Review: The House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin A. Craig

I’ve been in a big slump when it comes to YA fantasy – it has been absolute ages since I read the genre consistently. Despite this, I was totally drawn to The House of Salt and Sorrows (possibly due to that fantastic cover, look at it!) I didn’t know a huge amount about it before… Continue reading

About Me

Welcome to my corner of the bookish internet. I’m an American who has lived in the UK for almost 10 years, a publishing professional, and lifelong lover of books. I make it my mission to shout about books all over the internet and share my enthusiasm with other readers. I read a little bit of everything, but my main genres of choice are horror, fantasy, and science fiction.

I aim to start conversations about books and reading, link readers to new authors and titles they’ll love, provide insightful review the books I’m reading, and discover new writers and subgenres on this blog.
