I like to sleep and I like to blog. Last year – before all that stuff with Charlie and before I had to face the harsh realities of A-Levels and university applications and the fact that one day I really will have to start […]

Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte | Spoiler-Free Book Review

September 17, 2019September 18, 2019

Heyo Bookaholics! You never really know what’s coming with this novel. I kept thinking about that one quote from the book launch where Astrid, prompted by a Harry Potter loving Amie Kaufman, said that Four Dead Queens is a novel about a “Slytherin dragging a Hufflepuff on an adventure”. Blurb: Seventeen-year-old Keralie Corrington may seem harmless, but in fact, she’s one of Quadara’s most skilled thieves and a liar. Varin, on the other hand, is an honest, upstanding citizen of […]

Heyo Bookaholics! It’s a true cover buy. Let’s begin with the most positive thing here, the cover of this novel is absolutely stunning! This is truly a book you’ll see on the shelf at a bookstore, admire the cover and pick it up hoping to display it on your shelf because your TBR is a mile long and you won’t get to it for a while. Note (to my book swap buddy): Sara (@scientificstars [go follow her]), please don’t read […]

Kindred edited by Michael Earp | Non-Spoiler Book Review

June 18, 2019June 19, 2019

Heyo Bookaholics! Celebrating Pride Month with a perfect collection of Queer Stories! Going into a novel with queer characters that more often than not is a romance story, or has a romance weaved in between the fantasy elements; I find that the romance is usually a fluffy, self-discovery kind of jam. Hardly is the character’s sexuality not the entire plot of the novel. So, going into Kindred, I am not embarrassed to admit (and I was put off by the […]

Heyo Bookaholics! The Game But Not As You Know It! Disclaimer: A big thank you to Bloomsbury publishing who sent me the ARC, and the finished copy upon release. Otherworld has sat on my shelf for two years; it’s about time it was read and reviewed! Despite it being a middle-grade novel, I really enjoyed the story. It was a different concept to others that I’ve read, despite my constant comparison of it to the Mortality Doctrine Series and […]
