series review: newsflesh

Over the past couple weeks I read the Newsflesh trilogy by Mira Grant (also known as Seanan McGuire). If you're familiar with my reading habits, you'll know that this is pretty unusual for me. I don't tend to read series, let alone all the books in a row. So I thought I would take this …

november tbr (ish)

I haven't put up a TBR in a while, so I thought I would update you about some of the stuff I would like to read relatively soon. This isn't a hard and fast TBR, because I've been really into mood reading at the moment. But there are a lot of books that I am …

buzzfeed unsolved book tag

So in the past couple of weeks, I have become a BIG Buzzfeed Unsolved fan. I had heard about it, but before this month I'd never been all that interested in true crime or ghosthunting or anything like that. And then...I got in the mood for something SPOOPY.

halloween horrors…

I've always been a huge fan of Halloween. In Bermuda it was a BIG thing, and for every year until I was thirteen I dressed up and went trick or treating, without fail. (I've been Hermione, a girl in a bubble bath, an undead queen, and Jane from Tarzan!) Since I've moved to the UK …

the girl who smiled beads review

The Girl Who Smiled Beads by Clemantine Wamariya was sent to me by the publishers. This has not affected my thoughts about the book. A riveting story of dislocation, survival, and the power of stories to break or save us. Clemantine Wamariya was six years old when her mother and father began to speak in …

the brightsiders review

I read The Brightsiders by Jen Wilde during June, which was Pride month! It was the group read for the Queer Lit Readathon, which I took part in. As a rock star drummer in the hit band The Brightsiders, Emmy King’s life should be perfect. But there’s nothing the paparazzi love more than watching a …
