I meant to post this on here a few days ago, but I clearly completely forgot, so this is a bit late. Oops I have been trying to spend more time reading recently which has meant my blog has fallen a little by the wayside, though I've been keeping up my Instagram which is what… Continue reading Reading Wrap Up – October 2019

Angel Mage by Garth Nix – Review
5 Stars Thank you to Edelweiss and HarperCollins for an eARC of this book. ‘Angel Mage’ is out on October 17th, and I highly recommend you pick it up! I absolutely loved this book with all my heart! ‘Angel Mage’ is a muskateer story filled with magic, friendship and angels, but at its heart is… Continue reading Angel Mage by Garth Nix – Review
Reading Wrap Up – July 2019
This is my July wrap-up which I am posting here a couple of days late (but put on Instagram a little early!) due to being at Ozora Festival for a bit over a week! This month I mainly read on my kindle again, but I also listened to parts of the Nevernight and Godsgrave audiobooks… Continue reading Reading Wrap Up – July 2019
The Beholder by Anna Bright – Review
3.5 Stars ‘The Beholder’ was a book I was really intrigued and excited about. Initially I saw mention of it being an Odyssey retelling but that was thankfully quickly taken out of the synopsis, as it is nothing like the Odyssey. The premise was interesting, and was a concept I hadn’t seen before. Though it… Continue reading The Beholder by Anna Bright – Review
A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer – Review
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
The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert – Review
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
The Poison Eaters: And Other Stories by Holly Black – Review
4 Stars I have read all the stories in this before and dipped in and out of it over the years I've owned it, however I decided to read it again in order all at once. Some of these stories are magical and gripping, some are odd and unsettling. Yet they have all stayed in… Continue reading The Poison Eaters: And Other Stories by Holly Black – Review
The Phantom Forest by Liz Kerin – Review
The Phantom Forest will be published on 16th July 2019.Thank you to NetGalley and Inkshares for an eARC in exchange for a review. "Every tree in the sacred Forest of Laida houses a soul. Though each of those souls will return to the mortal world for many future lives, not all of them deserve to.… Continue reading The Phantom Forest by Liz Kerin – Review
War For The Oaks by Emma Bull – Review
4 Stars I don't exactly know how to sum up this book. This is the first time I have finished it, but not the first time I have tried to read it. The first time, I almost didn't want it to end. I got halfway through and stopped reading it. I didn't want to be… Continue reading War For The Oaks by Emma Bull – Review
