3 Stars Thank you to Edelweiss and the publisher for an eArc. The premise of this book isn’t one I have really seen before. Though I have seen something similar before, this was done in a captivating and fresh new way that really caught my attention. I love the ideas of memory as currency, and… Continue reading The Memory Thief by Lauren Mansy- Review

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
Dream Keeper by Amber R. Duell – Review
2 Stars - DNF @ 52% Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an eARC of this book. The premise of Dream Keeper was fantastic. I love anything to do with the concept of dreams, Sandman and Nightmares. I wrote part of my dissertation of Hoffmann’s ‘Der Sandmann’, have (badly) written and read so… Continue reading Dream Keeper by Amber R. Duell – 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 Twisted Tree by Rachel Burge – Review
4 Stars ‘The Twisted Tree’ had been on my to-read list since it came out, and I bought it on Kindle right away. It’s the kind of book that caught my interest right away - Norse Mythology with a hint of horror is definitely my thing. I was really excited about this one, and after… Continue reading The Twisted Tree by Rachel Burge – Review
T2 Tea Jaffalicious Review
I went to Bath to visit a friend recently, which was really lovely, and while I was there, we popped into the T2 store. I hadn't heard of them until recently, but my friend is a huge fan so I had to try them! The staff were super lovely and helpful, and one even had… Continue reading T2 Tea Jaffalicious Review
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
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
Hart & Seoul by Kristen Burnham – Review

Girl meets boy.Boy falls for girl. Girl discovers boy is a runaway K-pop idol in… Continue reading Hart & Seoul by Kristen Burnham – Review
