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
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
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.

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?
Legendary by Stephanie Garber – Review
CARAVAL SPOILERS AHEAD Legendary was much better than I was expecting. I heard such amazing things about Caraval, and while I enjoyed it and power read through it in 2 days (between work), it wasn't as incredible as I had been led to believe. Don't get me wrong, Caraval was great, but some of the… Continue reading Legendary by Stephanie Garber – Review
