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
What’s a series you enjoy but don’t hear much about?
I've been on an urban fantasy kick recently and have been planning on re-reading this series at some point soon as book 9 comes out later this year. I never see anyone mention it, on Instagram or otherwise. I know it's kind of cheesy in a way, but it's also a really fun series to… Continue reading What’s a series you enjoy but don’t hear much about?
The Ghost Hunter’s Daughter by Caroline Flarity – Review
2 Stars This book was published on the 17th April 2019Thank you to NetGalley and East Side Press for an eARC in echange for a review. I have very mixed feelings about this novel. I wanted to like it a lot more than I actually did. The premise was great, and the cover and blurb… Continue reading The Ghost Hunter’s Daughter by Caroline Flarity – Review
Do you read multiple books at once?
I'm very much a mood reader, so I tend to read quite a few books at once to try and keep me out of a reading slump, which I find tends to happen quite a lot if I'm not in the mood for a certain book. Most recently I've had this with King of Scars,… Continue reading Do you read multiple books at once?
What are your thoughts on bookish merch?
I'm a huge fan!Since I was quite young I have collected readily available fandom merchandise, mainly from books like Harry Potter. It was everywhere and easily accessible and meant you could proudly proclaim your Hogwarts house (amongst other things) for all to see. After discovering the bookish side of Instagram last year, I found that… Continue reading What are your thoughts on bookish merch?
Do you use a book journal?
I've started using one this year, but I'm not always great at updating it! I got bought one several years ago by a friend, and didn't really see the point of it. Now that I've started making more of a note of what im.reading and being a little more organized I've been finding it really… Continue reading Do you use a book journal?
What’s your favourite genre/subgenre?
I love urban fantasy! It makes me feel like what I'm reading could be real, and I can picture it so clearly. It also makes me wish there was more magic in the real world. Holly Black is definitely one of my favourite authors for this. Her work is a beautiful blend of city life… Continue reading What’s your favourite genre/subgenre?
