Hi, How Can I Help You?
There have been a couple things I’ve being doing recently, which could be of help to some writers. Firstly, prior to publication. Anyone who knows me knows I’m a big advocate of getting feedback on writing. I’ve written a post about it in the past, which can be found here, and I have a pageContinueContinue reading “Hi, How Can I Help You?”
Dangerous Women – Edited by George R.R Martin & Gardner Dozois [Books]
I always find it exciting, to open up a new anthology. To discover what stories wait inside, whether it’s a genre-specific anthology covering different themes, or a themed anthology covering different genres. Dangerous Women falls into the latter camp, with stories here ranging from fantasy to sci-fi to horror to historical. And they’re good, though with theContinueContinue reading “Dangerous Women – Edited by George R.R Martin & Gardner Dozois [Books]”
2019: What I’ve Read So Far
So, we are well over halfway through 2019, and I thought I’d take a moment to look back at the books I’ve read so far this year. Currently, I’ve had a really good year when it comes to reading. I’ve read the second books for two authors I absolutely love (Elizabeth Lim and Angie Thomas),ContinueContinue reading “2019: What I’ve Read So Far”
Circe – Madeline Miller [Books]
Sometimes, you read a book that is so wonderfully and beautifully written, with heaps of description aiding the characters and plot, that it feels like you really are transported to the novel’s location. Circe is, without a doubt, one of those books. Circe is the daughter of a Titan and a nymph, but lacks theContinueContinue reading “Circe – Madeline Miller [Books]”
Spin The Dawn – Elizabeth Lim [Books]
Firstly, look at that cover. It is absolutely stunning, and I spent ages just looking at both before and after reading Spin The Dawn. This novel is the story of Maia, a young woman who wants to become the best tailor in the land. However, standing in the way is the fact she is a woman,ContinueContinue reading “Spin The Dawn – Elizabeth Lim [Books]”
Stranger Things: Suspicious Minds – Gwenda Bond [Books]
Suspicious Minds is the first Stranger Things tie-in novel, and as such, I was really excited to read it. I love the Netflix series, adore the characters, and was eager to find out more about the Stranger Things universe, prior to the events of the TV show. Especially as this novel focuses on Terry, Eleven’sContinueContinue reading “Stranger Things: Suspicious Minds – Gwenda Bond [Books]”
Why My Current Favourite Book Is A Twitter Thread
I love Twitter, I really do. Some of my favourite books in recent years were ones I picked up because people were raving about them, or I followed the author on Twitter and became interested in their writing. If you’re looking for a community, guarantee you’ll find one on there, just by looking at hashtagsContinueContinue reading “Why My Current Favourite Book Is A Twitter Thread”
The Wicker King – K. Ancrum [Books]
Received this as a gift from my lovely boyfriend, because he heard me raving about The Wicked King (which he got me for Valentine’s Day) and got confused. But this was on my wishlist, so I still really wanted to read it. And, you know what? I loved it. August and Jack have been best friends forContinueContinue reading “The Wicker King – K. Ancrum [Books]”
Damn Fine Story – Chuck Wendig [Books]
I love books about writing. I love reading about the craft, seeing different ways of doing the same thing, taking notes so I can look back over them later. Stephen King’s On Writing is probably the most well known, with good reason. It should have pride of place on any writer’s bookshelf. But so should Chuck Wendig’s DamnContinueContinue reading “Damn Fine Story – Chuck Wendig [Books]”
