YES I AM ACTUALLY KEEPING A PROMISE I MADE TO MYSELF. I AM SHOOKETH. WIG IS SNATCHED. BLOGGERS EVERYWHERE ARE GASPING WITH SURPRISE. I know, I know, I can't believe it either, but goddamn December was a good reading month! I don't mean to toot my own horn or anything, but I read a few [...]
My knees tremble beneath my skirts as I realise what mortal peril Rebekah and I are now in. For the present time, I must swallow up my anger, repress my thoughts of Meg and try to play Morton the fool.p. 169 I just finished Laura Carlin's The Wicked Cometh this morning and I immediately opened up my [...]
I just finished this book two minutes ago - and by the way, I'm writing this review on the last day of December, 2018 so Happy New Years Eve! - and before I forgot everything that I just read, I thought I would write down my thoughts while everything is still super fresh! Before I [...]
If you've known me for long enough then you know that I absolutely adore reading poetry. It is one of my favourite genres to write and to read, I adore how it makes you feel and how powerful those words on a page can actually be. Rebecca Holland's Throughย Myย Goodย Eye is just that - it grabs [...]
I don't actually know what happened or how it happened & why it happened but I had fun, I think. You ever read a book where the character is so utterly ridiculous and the narrative is so out-of-this-world insane? I was on a wild ride with Casper Pearl's Chuck Steak. Described as a satirical action thriller, Chuck Steak is everything a 90s action movie would be, including the absolutely insane action scenes, the killer one-liners and [...]
Rajah debuts with a powerful collection of poetry that toes the line between lyrical artistry and complete and utter nonsensical peculiarity. I am going to have to admit that reading Sen Rajah'sย Milk of the Moonย was quite an exhaustive experience. It proved to be incredibly powerful, eye-opening and tragic but also innocent-like and hopeful. There can [...]
Crafting a spectacular narrative from the remnants of Ancient Rome, L.J. Trafford brings forth a brutal and bloody, but humorous and sometimes outright hilarious, conclusion to the Four Emperors Series. Do you know how long it has taken me to find the words to write this review? I was approached by the lovely Jessica from [...]
Now I'm dead, it's time to grow up I must admit that the premise of Charlie Laidlaw's The Things We Learn When We're Dead, was incredibly imaginative and one I would consider, not so much an amalgamation of the sci-fi genre with a sprinkling of fantasy, but more of a literary work of fiction. However, before [...]
If Twilight was written better and for a more mature audience and, of course, if Bella was a witch. This is what you would get. ... I want to preface this by saying that I literally had to force myself not to write this review immediately after completingย Discovery of Witches. Not entirely because I liked [...]
