In Music Our Memory: The Chimes by Anna Smaill
A world where music has replaced memories, and two boys who might just save it.

Be the Cog That Breaks the Machine: The First Sister by Linden A. Lewis
If you’re looking for a book where there’s a clear Dark Side and no question who the heroes are, this is not the book for you. If you want an adventure, a heist, capers and shenanigans, this is not the book for you. If you’re looking for a comfort read, a quick read, a fun […]
The Road So Far: The First Half of 2019 in Books
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 […]

I’m pretty sure I stumbled across her via a Book Smugglers review; otherwise, I might […]
Must-Have Monday!
Hopefully I’ll eventually have a pretty graphic for this, but since I’m obsessed with upcoming releases (and alliteration) I figured it would be fun to have a regular post featuring some as-yet-unpublished books that I, for one, am coveting dearly. And since it’s Pride, this month I’ll be focusing on books which have promised us […]
