So it is probably an abominably bad idea, but what the hell, this sounds like a lot of fun and I need motivation! The #Iron TomeAThon is a readerthon running throughout July, hosted by Aimal of Bookshelves and Paperbacks over here. The goal is to read adult fantasy books – no YA! – with points […]
In 2016, I managed to read 300 books. I’m pretty damn proud of that. But getting my first job – part-time that became full-time – plus various health issues and actually attempting to have some kind of social life – all slowed me down a lot. This year has been especially sucky in terms of […]
Usually I feature a few different books on Mondays, but today I just want to talk about one: The Black Veins by Aisha Monet! I am SO EXCITED for this book, you guys, you have NO IDEA! Pre-order links just went up a few days ago – this is what I get for being off […]
This deserves every bit of the hype it’s received. Despite the promise of f/f, this wasn’t actually a book I was originally especially excited about – I don’t usually have a lot of interest in dystopias, which was what this sounded like, and I guess the blurb struck me as sounding a little too…conventional YA? […]
The first book in this series, The Dragon with a Chocolate Heart, won me over with its premise – dragons! chocolate! found-families! – so that I pre-ordered it despite it being a Middle Grade book. That was not a mistake; Burgis writes the kind of MG that packs a punch for adults too, and DwaCH is now […]
WAIT WHAT PYR LINKED TO MY BABY BLOG??? EXCUSE ME WHILE I IMPERSONATE A GLITTERY HEADLESS CHICKEN FOR JUST A SEC Ahem. Okay, for real, I’m good now. Totally. We will now return to our regular scheduled programming.
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish and is now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. Check out upcoming Top Ten themes on Jana’s blog! While my TBR includes a few new releases, I need to spend most of my time catching up with books I haven’t had time to sit down and […]
As someone too fond of both alliteration and scouring publisher’s catalogs, Monday is the day I list some of the upcoming books I’m most looking forward to! Here are a few I’ve been eyeing especially longingly this last little while. I have fibromyalgia, which is especially bad in my hands – which makes it impossible […]
I suspect most people who pick this up are going to enjoy it immensely, but although it was one of my most anticipated reads of the year…this one’s just not for me. Minor spoilers below. The major thing for me is that this is what I’ve seen called a HFN ending – a happy-for-now ending instead of […]
This beautiful novella is without question going onto both my favourites and best-of-2019 shelves – and Parker Foye has won a permanent place on my list of auto-buy authors. I cannot wait for the rest of the Love Has Claws stories! Nine Years of Silver ought to be too short to fit all the eerie, […]
