***CW’s: Violence, death, abortion, mentions of sexual assault, racism, ableism, torture, homophobia, gun violence and war*** Possible mild spoilers for Jade City as well I’ve said it on TikTok, Instagram and just about everywhere else. I did not finish this book, it finished me. I am not surprised however considering the first book, Jade City,…
On the Shelves: A Semi-Weekly Slot of Chaos
After nearly a year of changing names, contemplating and just wanting a place to just chat all things I like we have it! This semi weekly segment on the blog is called On the Shelves and I intend to do it as regularly as I can. Called On the Shelves mostly as a reference to…
Review: The Witches Heart by Genevieve Gornichec
So as a lot of you may have guessed by now, I’m a retellings kinda gal. Basically that kid in school who was slightly too much into Ancient Egypt. Yeah you remember the one in your class. So it was only a matter of time before I got to this one. When a banished witch…
Review: The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake
***Content warnings for murder, implied relationship between a tutor and a minor, death of a sibling (off page), coercian, suicide and self harm*** I would like to preface this with the fact I only joined TikTok recently so found out about this from friend’s recommendations. And I am glad I did join since there is…
Review: Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree
Full disclosure, the author sent me a copy of this for review and I also read the audio book copy that I bought myself so this review covers both. Can I just say, I know we’re all suckers for gorgeous covers and that the surface level ‘judging a book by its cover’ is something we…
February Wrap Up
I feel like I say this every month but I think in particular February flew. Likely because I was off work for a lot of it. But 2022 is taking off at break neck speed so lets wrap it up! In February I read 8 books in total. Same as last month in terms of…
Review: Lear Wife by J.R Thorp
***Content warnings for death of a child and spouse, plague, self harm, rape, physical and mental abuse, animal death, isolation and hysteria.*** Tis not often these days I buy a book on a whim or without prior knowledge of it from somewere. That can be as basic as seeing it on a library shelf, hearing…
Review: Age of Ash by Daniel Abraham
***Content warnings for death of a sibling, violence, injury, murder, poverty, bloodletting, self harm and neglect (mentions)*** I love me a good city. Especially in a fantasy setting. One of my favourite tropes/devices an author can use is making the a city setting a character of it’s own. N.K Jemisin and New York as one…
Reading the Wheel of Time: The Eye of the World
So I have finally done what I thought would both never happen and was impossible to do if it did. I read The Eye of the World and started The Wheel of Time series. I actually had a copy of this as far back as 2018. I picked it up after a boozy brunch with…
January Wrap Up
The first month of 2022 is behind us already. It’s funny, I felt every second of last years January and couldn’t wait it to end. I blinked this year and it was gone. And as usual, my wrap up is a bit further into the month than most so at least we’re staying consistent! In…
