5 Stars Retellings of classic fairy tales with a new spin on them are some of my favourite things. So obviously I was extremely excited to read ‘A Curse So Dark & Lonely’. Beauty and the Beast was my joint favourite Disney film (along with Hercules) as a child, and Robin McKinley’s ‘Beauty’ is my… Continue reading A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer – Review

Reading Wrap Up – June 2019
I finished six books this month and most of them were on my kindle! I had two ARCs, one from Netgalley and one from Edelweiss. The books I chose this month mostly seemed to be in the same sort of vein story-wise in that they were based on mythology, stories or retellings. It was completely… Continue reading Reading Wrap Up – June 2019

5 Stars I really love fairy tales and have been reading them since I was a small child obsessed with The Brother’s Grimm - I had a slightly child friendlier collected works than the original tales, but it was still extremely creepy and my parents threw it away when they realized how dark the stories… Continue reading The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert – Review
Managing my TBR pile
My TBR pile is getting pretty out of hand right now. I made an excel spreadsheet last week to keep track of everything I want to read and whether or not I own it. It's a bigger list than I thought, and while I love having so many books to choose from, I'm struggling to… Continue reading Managing my TBR pile
Reading Wrap Up – May 2019
I'm quite late posting it (oops!) but this is everything I read and finished in May! I've not posted a monthly wrap up before, as usually I'm reading several books at once but not actually getting around to finishing them, so only posting one or two finished books seems like I haven't been reading at… Continue reading Reading Wrap Up – May 2019
