***Content warnings for colonialism, war, plague, sexism, implied homophobia, and kidnapping*** Possible spoilers for previous books. And I am back with reviews today on the blog! So, I’ve mentioned a few times now across various posts this year that this is, for me, ‘the year of the audio book’. The Memoirs of Lady Trent are…
Mid Year Reading Check In
So yeah, it’s been a while hasn’t it?! Hey there everyone, hope all of you are keeping well in these interesting times. I’ve been a lot absent on my usual online haunts recently. Along with some life changes, mental health stuff and so on, I found I didn’t really have it in me to sit…
Review: Feet of Clay by Terry Pratchett
Welcome back to the Discworld Project! I’ve been itching to get to this entry in the series for a while, and not because a group tried (and failed) to recruit Sir Terry Pratchett to their bigotted cause. But because this was three great things; a City Watch book, an introduction of new characters and what…
June Wrap Up
This is the half way point folks! June is gone and all. And she was a quiet month. Well quiet for reading for me anyway. Anyone of you who are mutuals know what my story is the last month but if not, I’m in a new job and sector! It’s a huge benefit to my…
Review: She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan
**Content warnings for Dysphoria, misgendering, amputation, war, famine, torture, death of a parent, homophobia, murder, (implied) sexual assault, ableism and starvation.** This has been a long time coming and I am so happy to be here having read this. I honestly think there is nothing quite like the quality of SFF debut’s coming out the…
Review: Maskerade by Terry Pratchett
Welcome back to the Discworld Project fam! (Yes I typed that and no I don’t know if I will ever say it again.) It has been a bit longer than I thought I would be but I will drop a wee mention of the fact I picked up the next book right after this. This…
May Wrap Up
A very fitting late wrap up once again, we’re not going to mention the speed at which 2022 is going by either. So in case you don’t see my socials, May was the hectic month of the year for me. I had a huge important wedding, a job change and a My Chemical Romance concert…
Review: The Sword of Kaigen by M.L Wang
**Content warnings for war, rape, death of a child, death of a parent/family member, domestic violence, dubious consent, suicide, miscarriage, racism and murder** I’m back! It’s been a busy few weeks here in my library, a lot of things taking me away from my usual sedentary lifestyle of reading and hoarding books. I did in…
Review: Cuts and Bruises by Kelly O’Flaherty
***Content warnings for self harm, suicide ideation and attempted suicide, death of a family member, physical abuse, and domestic abuse.*** Wee disclaimer, I personally know the author and was sent this for review by Cranthorpe Millner as part of their Bookstagram tour (my stop is here). All thoughts and opinions here remain my own. Teenage…
Review: Witchmark by C.L Polk
***Content warnings for death, war, torture, coercion, slavery, murder, homophobia, mentions of suicide and suicide ideation and death of a parent*** I tend to have a bad habit. I am in the middle of a longer, denser work of SFF. I do read it but find myself hesitant to in moments of being anxious or…
