ARC Review: GODDESS WITH A THOUSAND FACES by Jasmine Elmer

As always, I have been spoilt with my reading selection! Thank you to Dialogue Publishing/Renegade Press for sending across what is, a GORGEOUS limited edition bound proof?

ARC Review: GORSE by Sam K. Horton

Hello hello, it has been a while again! I think I say this every time, but it was for a good reason! I have spent most of my summer preparing for my big relocation from the UK to Denmark (based in Copenhagen for the next 2 years!), all while finishing up the chunk of work I had to do before I start my newest academic project. I’m loving it here so far, and I really hope I can continue reviewing…

ARC Review: THE MEMO by Lauren Mechling & Rachel Does

The minute I saw the premise of this book floating around on Twitter, I just knew I had to read it. Sadly, work got on top of me, so then I had to spend a few months just gazing forlornly at it on my shelf, until I could find the best time to just sink into the story—and my friends, that time came about 2 weeks ago. I was sat on the Tube, travelling from where my best friends lived on one end of…

ARC Review: ENLIGHTENMENT by Sarah Perry

Thank you so much to the team at Vintage for sending across this gorgeous proof copy! I tend to devour anything from Sarah Perry, and this was no exception.

Spring Reads (2024)

Hi everyone! How’s it going?I realised this is the first update post of 2024… and we’re about to break into March. Perhaps I should have done a 2023 “end-of-year” review or a “anticipated reads of 2024” post, but if you are a long-time follower/reader, you know that I tend to kinda play things by ear. The main thing I want from this blog is that it brings joy. For me to write, and for you to…

And what better way than to review this deliciously dark book. Author: Emma HindsGenre: Historical,…

Books for Dec (2023)

Hello, hello! I haven’t forgotten you all or the blog, it has just been an immensely busy season. The transition between summer and autumn is always a trial as I have to switch gears for a new academic year and the like. This year though, it was more because I was travelling. I went to Korea for the first time in years to see family, and we were there for a month between September to October.…
