A girl at night, a caged monster during the day.ย ... I began readingย Korriganย by Rebecca F. Kenney in the midst of readingย A Discovery of Witchesย by Deborah Harkness. Why is this important? Just wait, I'll explain in a moment. If you're familiar with Discovery of Witches, you know that it centres around the story of 'no-I-don't-want-to-be-a-witch' [...]
Have you ever read theย blurbย of a book and think,ย damn that sounds good? Well, that was me when the author ofย An American Family,ย Jackson Baer, emailed me concerning his new novel. The blurb is as follows and can also be accessed on Goodreads: Isaac Childs has the perfect life - until that life comes crashing down when [...]
... 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 [...]
... Iโm writing this review on the immediate tail-end of completing The Afterlife of Walter Augustus by Hannah Lynn, and I have so many feelings bursting out of me like little pockets of sunshine expending out of my pores. Hannah Lynn weaves a sensational narrative depicting the rawness of reality and the inexplicability of life [...]

Whoops. I am so late. I thought I wrote this blog post! Maybe I dreamt it? Sometimes, I am a lost cause. If you don't already know, every month I make a short post talking about the books I read in the past month. If you want to read January and February, then click on [...]
throw flames like a girl. I lovedย The Princess Saves Herself In This Oneย and I have to say that I completely, with my entire heart, adoredย The Witch Doesn't Burn in This One.ย Amanda Lovelace is one of my favourite poets, purely because of the power of her writing. Her work is not a gentle touch to the [...]
No fairy godmother. No magic pumpkin. Just one grumpy girl and a glass slipper. Happilyย by Chauncey Rogers narrates a wonderfully humorous and adventurous tale of Laure, a teenage street urchin trying her hardest to leap-frog out of รcarlate and find a home somewhere far away. Where the rest of the world sees an enchantingย and romantic [...]
