Time to Cry and Talk About Rin Making Wrong Decisions ONLY: The Burning God by R. F. Kuang Review

The time has come to talk about The Burning God and if it's too early for you, it was to early for this series to be over and here we are. This year has definitely been The Poppy War year for me and since November is almost over, I can say that this series will…

Blog Tour: Magic Dolls & Family Secrets (The Thief on the Winged Horse by Kate Mascarenhas)

Welcome to my stop on the The Thief on the Winged Horse Tour! I am so excited to tell you more of my thoughts on Mascarenhas' sophmore novel. I absolutely loved her first one – The Psychology of Time Travel, and it's a book I recommend all the time, so I was so excited to…

Review: This is All Your Fault by Aminah Mae Safi

Can you think of a better premise than three girls working together throughout one day to save the bookstore they all work in? I can't. This is exactly what the premise of This is All Your Fault by Aminah Mae Safi is all about, and when I first read it, I was super excited to…

Review: The End of the Day by Bill Clegg

It's hard to be a bearer of bad press for a book you were so excited about, but I am afraid I am going to be that person for The End of the Day. This was one of my most anticipated reads of this year – I adore Bill Clegg's debut Did You Ever Have…

Emotions Were Felt: Anxious People by Fredrik Backman

You know when you read a book by an author and it's so good that you declare said author a favorite without ever reading another of their books? This happened to me with Backman. I read Beartown and I loved it so deeply that I knew that I was gonna love everything the author wrote.…

Disappointment is My First, Middle and Last Name: Majesty (American Royals 2) by Katharine McGee Review

Last year I read and loved American Royals – it was a CW show in book form, dramatic, over the top, and very, very angsty. I was really engaged the whole time I read it, it took me no time at all and I really got attached to the characters and their relationships. It was…

Women’s Prize Reviews #9: Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell

We're back with Women's Prize reads! I abandoned my reading of the longlist, and was determined to finish reading the shortlist, so here we are. I might end up not reading one final book from the shortlist (I know you completionists will  judge me, but I just don't care). I am now in the middle…

Review: Migrations by Charlotte McConaghy

"My life has been a migration without a destination, and that in itself is senseless." This book has been on the periphery of my radar because it seemed like an interesting premise, but I was not sure if I was to pick it up. But then the lovely people at Libro.fm supplied me with an…

If you follow me anywhere on social media or if you have been following this blog for the past year, you will know that Gideon the Ninth was one of my favorite books of 2019. It's also one of my favorite reviews I have ever written. Naturally, I was super excited for the sequel after…

Review: Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert

Take a Hint, Dani Brown was one of my most anticipated releases of the year. I adore Talia Hibbert, she is one of my favorite authors, and I am always hyped for all of her releases. Also, I really enjoyed Get a Life, Chloe Brown and I love a good Romance series, so I was…
