I’m a sucker for books about books or writers. As someone who loves reading, I enjoy connecting with characters who share that hobby. When I saw an ARC of Writers and Lovers available for review on NetGalley, I simply had to have a copy. About Writers and Lovers follows Casey, a struggling 30-something drowning...
QUICK REVIEW: Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
Aurora Rising is jam-packed with action from the get-go, and I can safely say I have never enjoyed dual perspectives like this before. I was excited when a new character’s POV came along, because I actually liked them all. Though the novel was around 400 pages, I felt like I didn’t get to know...
REVIEW: The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary
Of all the books I’ve come across in recent years, The Flatshare would have to have one of the most interesting premises. I was incredibly lucky to receive a review copy from Hachette Australia, and (this may just spoil the whole review for you) it was the complete highlight of my month. The Flatshare...
REVIEW: We Hunt the Flame by Hafsah Faizal
Somehow, We Hunt the Flame managed to fly right under my radar as I conducted my extensive research into my most anticipated reads of 2019. I ended up hearing about it a few months before release, and I was lucky enough to receive a copy from Pan Macmillan Australia in exchange for a review....
REVIEW: Enchantée by Gita Trelease | BLOG TOUR
Welcome to my stop on the Enchantée blog tour! Enchantée was one of my most anticipated reads of 2019, and when I discovered it back in October of last year, I couldn’t stop telling everyone about this debut due for publication in Feb. I was extremely lucky to receive an advanced reader’s copy...
REVIEW: The Enchanted Sonata by Heather Dixon Wallwork
I found The Enchanted Sonata when I was busy scrolling through NetGalley looking for my most anticipated reads of 2019 (I can be very impatient when it comes to books). As soon as I discovered it was a Nutcracker retelling, I had to request it. Kindly, the publisher sent me a digital copy, and...
Should You Read Outlander? Yes, yes you should – and here’s why.
If you’ve never heard of Outlander, then chances are you’ve been living under a more colossal rock than me, and that’s saying something – my friends call me Patrick Star. I discovered Outlander thanks to the TV show’s theme song. Weird, I know, but let me explain. I was twenty minutes deep into pointless Buzzfeed...
REVIEW: Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
I don’t know about you, but I hear about Laini Taylor’s books all over the place. People tell me left, right and centre that I’ve never read anything like her works before. I like a good, unique story, so Daughter of Smoke and Bone went straight on my TBR, along with Strange the Dreamer....
REVIEW: Scythe by Neal Shusterman
I’d seen Scythe all over bookstagram, and I was extremely curious about it, though I didn’t make any plans to read it. One day, I was wandering around my library and I just happened upon a hardback. Thinking I might possibly read it, I loaned it out. Later that night, I was feeling restless...
REVIEW: Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia
Eliza and Her Monsters follows Eliza, a world-famous web illustrator, but no one knows who she is in real life. On the internet, she may seem put together, like one of the coolest people on the planet, but her day to day life is a completely different story. How’d I come to read Eliza and Her...
