Look, these stories - small-town legends about monters or demons or evil spirits - they're all just an excuse for people to avoid seeing the real monsters all around them. It's a way to shatter the proverbial mirror.Harrow Lake by Kat Ellis G'day friends! How is everyone going? I really hope you are all staying [...]
You read the title right, my friends. I literally had to beg for my brother to go near the bookshelf let alone actually choose one. But I think he enjoyed himself. Okay, so basically the idea for this 'series' started on the 1st of January, 2020 (HOW THE FUCK ARE WE ALREADY IN A NEW [...]
I am going to say this right now: this review will contain all the spoilery content! so! be! warned! CW: character death, instances of bullying, racism (alien racism?), soulmate insta-love (is that a trigger warning? in this case, possibly yes). G'day friends! As I'm writing this, I am in my pyjamas, on a kind-of sunny [...]
ROMANOV BY NADINE BRANDES G'day friends! So, I wasn't planning on writing this review (because I have so many other reviews that I urgently need to write *NetGalley screams at me in the distance*) but I just finished this book yesterday (as I'm writing this) and I kind of need to write my thoughts, because [...]

Well, hello there friends! It's been a while, I must say. But here I am with a bookish post to quench your thirst! Now, I wrote this twitter thread a few months ago, and I remember thinking to myself, I should just make this into a post for my blog and make it into some [...]
... The only way I can properly describe Scream All Night by Derek Milman, his debut novel, is this: whatever you think should never happen in reality, actually, somehow, happens. It is fantastically chaotic, confusing and hilarious. Scream All Night narrates the story of Dario Heyward, who had made the promise to himself at age [...]
... Think of chaos and then multiply that by thirteen and you have the setting of Morgan Matson’s new YA novel, Save the Date. Charlie Grant is in a state of longing - that is, she can’t wait to spend the entire weekend with all of her siblings at the family home. Yes, it’s for [...]
if the Bible met Harry Potter - this novel would be the result.
