Good morning Bibliofriends,Beach Read was exactly the type of hangover cure I needed to get me out of my 2-week reading slump. It almost comes across as two sides of a coin – funny, yet deep; romantic, yet heartbreaking – one moment you’re wanting to put yourself in January’s shoes, the next you’re glad you...

Hello Bibliofriends,I read Given to the Sea by Mindy McGinnis (book 1 in this duology) when it came out back in 2017. It was one of the first books I ever received in my FairyLoot subscription and I became totally enamoured with the world featured in the story. As part of my 2020 reading mission...

Hello Bibliofriends,Breaking away from the fantasy genre today and into the world of one of my favourite musical artists of all time - Dolly Parton. From listening to my grandparents' Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash cassettes as a child, to taking up line dancing and even publishing my own dances online - it's safe to... Continue Reading →
Hello Bibliofriends,Back in July I was approached by E.S. Barrison to read and review her debut novel, The Mist Keeper's Apprentice which is a new-adult, dark fantasy book and features as the first part of her The Life and Death Cycle series. Big thanks to E.S Barrison for sending me a digital copy in exchange... Continue Reading →
Aloha Bibliofriends,Fairytales have always had a special place in my heart. I love reading and analysing them so much so that my university dissertation was based on the tale of Sleeping Beauty and a whole section of my bookshelves are dedicated to fairytale theory books from the likes of Jack Zipes, Bruno Bettelheim and Marina...

Howard whilst scrolling through Netgalley, my interest was immediately piqued from the mention of a witch queen and the battle between darkness and light so I knew I had to click that 'read now' button. Big thanks to... Continue Reading →
Yoohoo Bibliofriends,After reading Atomic Habits by James Clear [review here] and deciding that I needed to try and listen to Audiobooks more, part of my new, determined habit-goals-self decided to listen to them each morning as I was getting ready to go to work. One of the first ones I started with was Good Omens... Continue Reading →
Hi Bibliofriends,One of my bookish blogging goals this year was to try and get started on taking author/publisher requests and also start investing some time into improving my NetGalley feedback score. It was such a thrill when Elizabeth Foster contacted me after reading one of my reviews for Odyssey Books and asked me if I... Continue Reading →
Hello Bibliofriends! This week's Biblioshelf Musing is 'These Divided Shores' by Sara Raasch which is the sequel to 'These Rebel Waves'. I first read TRW when it arrived in the August 2018 Mutinous Pirates Fairyloot box. At first, the series wasn't quite what I was expecting as the pirates were more riverboat looters (Stream Raiders)... Continue Reading →
Howdy Bibliofriends! This week's Biblioshelf Musing is Shadow and Flame which is the sequel to Onyx and Ivory by Mindee Arnett. If you follow my other posts you'll know that I'm not that great at keeping up with sequels. That being said, in my new little world of trying to maintain good 'atomic habits', the...
