Blogmas #7: Favourite 2019 Books Part 1

Yes, I’m a little behind, but I’m not going to stress about it. I’m not doing every day, anyway, so skipping a few days or falling behind doesn’t mean I’m going to stop doing Blogmas. We’ll just see how it goes. 2019 has been a really good year for me, in terms of reading. I’veContinueContinue reading “Blogmas #7: Favourite 2019 Books Part 1”

Tabitha Sparks and the Door to Everywhere – Jae El Foster [Audiobook Review]

I don’t really listen to audiobooks, but I was approached very kindly by Kathleen Powell, the narrator for Tabitha Sparks and the Door to Everywhere, and asked if I would be interested in reviewing the audiobook. I decided I would give it a go. Blurb Intelligent, kind Tabitha Sparks has a wonderful life, with loving parents,ContinueContinue reading “Tabitha Sparks and the Door to Everywhere – Jae El Foster [Audiobook Review]”

Blogmas #6: 2019 Wrap Up & 2020 Goals

One: I know I skipped day five. Two: This will possibly go up late. Re the first point, I couldn’t think of much for the prompt (gifts) and I said at the start I wasn’t going to push myself to post every day. I’ve been feeling under the weather this week, so I avoided rushingContinueContinue reading “Blogmas #6: 2019 Wrap Up & 2020 Goals”

Blogmas #4: Bookish Naughty or Nice List

I’ve really been looking forward to this one! And you should check out Jenn’s original list from 2017, too. Received an ARC and not reviewed it  X I will read them all! I just…got swamped, a little more quickly than I expected. I went from having no ARCs, never having touched an ARC, to having…aContinueContinue reading “Blogmas #4: Bookish Naughty or Nice List”

Blogmas #3: Christmas Reads

Day 3. How did we get here so quick? Work’s ramping up, Christmas is looming and now I start panicking about who I haven’t got presents for. While we’re here, I just want to say a huge thanks to Jenn over at Jenniely, who pointed me in the direction of her Blogmas list. Go check out herContinueContinue reading “Blogmas #3: Christmas Reads”

A Curse So Dark and Lonely – Brigid Kemmerer [Review]

I read this book immediately after The Queen of Nothing, hoping it would fill the hole left by Holly Black’s fantastic end to an amazing trilogy. And it did…but after finishing it, that hole now feels twice as big. Luckily, this series is still ongoing, and the sequel is out in January, so seems like IContinueContinue reading “A Curse So Dark and Lonely – Brigid Kemmerer [Review]”

The Queen of Nothing – Holly Black [Review]

Please note, dear friends, this review will contain spoilers for the first two books in the series, The Cruel Prince and The Wicked King. In this trilogy, collectively called The Folk of the Air, Holly Black has created a rich, beautiful, dangerous and alluring world, one I could not wait to get back to inContinueContinue reading “The Queen of Nothing – Holly Black [Review]”

Twisted Tales: Let It Go – Jen Calonita

The Twisted Tales series are stories about films and characters we know and love from Disney films, but putting one twist into the story that either changes everything, gives something additional in the middle, or extends the story beyond the familiar endings. I wrote about the series as a whole here, and purposefully held ontoContinueContinue reading “Twisted Tales: Let It Go – Jen Calonita”
