For the first time, Ayla’s eyes flicked up to meet Crier’s, sending a sensation of shock through her. “It’s my job,” she said sowly, “It’s my job to – to serve the house of Sovereign Hesod. That includes you.” Page 77 snippet – Crier’s War OH, MY ACTUAL GODDESS! Is that section not just full […]
Book Tag: The Ultimate Recommendations Book Tag!
I saw this post over on one of my favourite book blogs Howling Libraries and knew I had to do it. She tagged me too (well she tagged everyone who was reading it but I’m going to pretend it was me specifically! This is an original tag created by Ellyn so go check hers out as […]
REVIEW: Gideon The Ninth
My Thoughts: This book had me at Lesbian Necromancers in Space. LESBIAN! NECROMANCERS IN SPACE!!! Then I find out it’s written by a kiwi as well and I simply needed to read this. I can say rather solidly that it did not disappoint. I love how we start this book right in the deep end. […]
Seventy-Seven Saturday: Call Down The Hawk
Ronan pressed the heel of his hand against his eye, checking for nightwash, but it wasn’t bad yet. “I’m not that big of an asshole.” Page 77 Snippet – Call Down The Hawk. So I have already read past this point in the book and this scene! OMG! This scene was peak Lynch and Parrish! […]
Seventy-Seven Saturday: Slay
I don’t know what she wants me to say to this, so I let her keep talking. I think that’s partially why we’ve been friends for so long – she fills the spaces I would otherwise leave silent. Page 77 Snippet – Slay by Brittney Morris I’m not even sure why but this snippet made […]
REVIEW: Undead Girl Gang
My Thoughts: I had heard mixed reviews of this book but decided to give it a go, because if you have known me for even a second; lesbian witches is something I’m in for ALWAYS. I didn’t expect to cry as often as I did in this book. In the long run, this book was […]
October OwlCrate Unboxing
I’m so excited to bring you today’s post! As many of you might know I have been receiving OwlCrate since April, and I really love it. I have talked a bit about the books that have come with it. So far everyone book I have read has been a great read. Last month I tried […]
REVIEW: Pumpkinheads
My Thoughts: Okay, I feel like I’m a minority in this as I didn’t enjoy this as much as I thought I was going to. I really wanted to but it just, in the end, was a real let down for me. The story starts out cute and while the ending is also cute there […]
REVIEW: The House Of Brides
My Thoughts: I have to say I wasn’t really sure what to expect of this book. It was described as a modern Jane Eyre or Rebecca. Now shamefully I haven’t read Rebecca, but Jane Eyre is one of my favourite books. It was with this in mind that I requested this book. I also somehow […]
Seventy-Seven Saturday: The House of Brides
Sophia didn’t even stop, just shook her head slightly, as if trying to dislodge water from her ear. “I got the letter.” Page 77 Snippet – The House of Brides – Jan Cockram I’m only 40 pages into this book and already I’m enjoying it more than I thought I would. I am cautious I […]
F is For Friday: 25 October 2019
Sorry, it’s been a few weeks since my last FIFF, but I have been exhausted and overwhelmed, so when looking at my weekly posts this one is easily the least important, so it gets dropped. Things are starting to calm down some and thus I can bring you another one this week. Again thank you […]
REVIEW: Love from A to Z
My Thoughts: From the moment I heard about this book I knew it was one I wanted to check out! IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! I loved so much about this adorable romance, the fact that it’s from a perspective we don’t often see. The fact that it was about a hijab wearer and written by […]
Waiting For Wednesday: We Free The Stars
It is no secret that We Hunt The Flame was one of my favourite books I have read this year. I was obsessed with it before I read it and I only became more obsessed after I read it. Zafira is the Hunter, braving the cursed forest of the Arz to feed her people. Nasir […]
REVIEW: Cannonball
My Thoughts: This is such a hard review to write because on one hand I really enjoyed many aspects of this story. One the other I absolutely HATED the main character. She treats her friends as rubbish, she’s elitist and entitled. Even when she has succeeded she’s bitter and grumpy. I just wanted to shake […]
Seventy-Seven Saturday: The Diviners
It was well after eleven when Memphis returned to the Hotsy Totsy. Gabe came running up to him. “Where you been, boss man?” Page 77 Snippet – The Diviners by Libba Bray I am finally starting this book. Yes, I have been living under a rock for ages, I’m not sure why I kept putting […]
REVIEW: Her Royal Highness
My Thoughts: I have to say when I first started this book I wasn’t sure I was going to like it. I found millie at times a rather annoying narrator. I personally really found the setup scenes boring just take me to Scotland already! Besides the ex and one of the friends the other friends […]
Waiting For Wednesday: Rick
SO As you know I loved George by Alex Gino so when I heard about this companion book I was SO HYPED. Rick’s never questioned much. He’s gone along with his best friend Jeff even when Jeff’s acted like a bully and a jerk. He’s let his father joke with him about which hot girls […]
REVIEW: George
My Thoughts: I was a little nervous about how this book would go, especially as it is middle-grade. But I had heard some very good things about it from people I trust (ahem Star). THIS WAS THE MOST CINNAMON ROLL SWEETNESS I COULD EVER IMAGINE. It was everything I hoped for and everything I ever […]
Seventy-Seven Saturday: The Witch’s Book of Self-Care
– Remember that things don’t need to be perfect. They just need to be good enough. Page 77 Snippet – The Witch’s Book of Self-Care by Arin Murphy-Hiscock So those of you who follow me over on Goodreads will know I have been reading this book for oh about three months now… I just don’t […]
REVIEW: Heartstopper Volume 2
My Thoughts: So it’s no secret that for the most part, I loved Heartstopper Volume 1, and for the most part, was just disappointed in the ending. Luckily Volume 2 picks pretty much right up after that and we don’t lose any time. I am o happy with everything that happens in this volume and […]
Waiting For Wednesday: The Toll
I blame some kind of fatigue or brain fade for not posting this book earlier. I adored Scythe and am still got brain matter dripping out of my ear at how mind-blowing Thunderhead was. I cannot wait to see what Neal throws our way in this final book! It’s been three years since Rowan and […]
Top 10 Tuesday: Character Traits I Love
Another Top Ten Tuesday post here for you this week we are talking about my favourite character traits. I have to say this isn’t something I think about all that often. I mean I have favourite characters but do they have traits in common, I’m not sure. Quirky Intelligent – I’m not really sure how […]
REVIEW: Sadie
My Thoughts: First off I listened to the audiobook for this and while this isn’t something I often mention when I have done so, this case is different.* The audiobook takes this book to the next level with a full cast of talented voice actors everything is 1000% better. Sadie alternates between chapters of a […]
Seventy- Seven Saturday: American Royals
His words were both a question and a promise. All Nina could do was nod. She shrugged out of his jacket and handed it to him before heading back inside. Page 77 Snippet — American Royals by Katharine McGee So I had heard a few things about this book and was interested in it, vaguely. […]
F is For Friday: 4 October 2019
It’s October which means part of my brain says “YAY, AUTUMN!” But the rest of me has to remember that it is, in fact, spring instead. So no warm sweaters and spooky vibes. I do get pumpkin spice lattes though because Starbucks does not care, it’s fall to them! As always thank you so much […]
Blog Tour: The Dark Lord Clementine
My Thoughts: It’s easy to read the first chapter of this book and assume it’s going to be silly, and at times it definitely is, but it’s more than that. This book is about redefining yourself and choosing your own path. It was an oddly dark book at times, with Clementine having to watch her […]
Waiting For Wednesday: The Gravity Of Us
I’m honestly a bit surprised that I haven’t already posted about this. I have been hearing about it everywhere for ages. I was so positive that I had already posted but think I got confused with Something like Gravity. As a successful social media journalist with half a million followers, seventeen-year-old Cal is used to […]
REVIEW: What She Never Said
My Thoughts: First off I want to say that while this is a second in a series it reads as a stand-alone because the setting is the reoccurring character here. Never have I read a book so much where I spent the first third of the book wishing the murderer would kill the main character. […]
REVIEW: Dreadnought
My Thoughts: I came across this book in my recent search for good transgirl YA, the same search that turned up “If I Was Your Girl.” Luckily for me, this one turned out much more positive. Here we are presented with a much younger character just starting out her journey. Through superhero magic, Danny is […]
Seventy-Seven Saturday: The Monster Who Wasn’t
Seventy-Seven Saturday Rules: ‘We keep him bundled up here and nobody’s gonna see him,’ Wheedle reassured him. ‘We convince them we’ve never seen no human-looking imp. Besides, Ogres aren’t so eager to go hunting.’ Thoughts: I have no idea what’s going on in this passage but OMG I need to find out. I wanted to […]
