(A rather late) Twenty-Twenty Wrap Up
Hello there! Long time and no post eh? I went into a major slump with any kind of social media the tail end of last year, and to tell the truth, I’m still struggling with it now. But I would like to be more present – so why not dig out one of the posts… Continue reading

REVIEW | Empire of Gold – S.A. Chakraborty
OK, this series is catapulted to one of my favourites. It’s been a joy and a breeze to read, despite its size. And that ending was amazing, if not bittersweet for me – I cried a lot! Although the end didn’t surprise me, it wasn’t quite how I wanted it to go* I love the… Continue reading

REVIEW | City of Brass – S.A. Chakraborty
“You’re some kind of thief, then?” “That a very narrow-minded way of looking at it. I prefer to think of myself as a merchant of delicate tasks.” I need to start Kingdom of Copper ASAP! What a whirlwind of an ending! And I found the journey fascinating and captivating the whole way truth be told… Continue reading

REVIEW | Mexican Gothic – Silvia Moreno-Garcia
I think I’m going 4.5 on this one – I can’t make my mind up, so let’s go down the middle. It didn’t scare me, but it is definitely messed up! You get the “somethings not right vibe” pretty much from the start, and then things just start exponentially ramping up – trigger warnings pretty… Continue reading

REVIEW | The Shadows Between Us – Tricia Levenseller
“They’ve never found the body of the first and only boy who broke my heart. And they never will.” I went into this book apprehensively. A few people I’d talked to hadn’t loved it, and one person dropped it early on into the group read I was doing. But you know what, I really enjoyed… Continue reading

REVIEW | The Foxhole Court – Nora Sakavic
“It’s not the world that’s cruel. It’s the people in it.” I think I’m giving this 3.5 stars. I wasn’t sold on it at the beginning… Centred around a brutal team sport that I think is similar to what very little I know of La Cross (is that even how you spell it? – I… Continue reading

REVIEW | The Kiss of Deception – Mary E. Pearson
It can take years to mold a dream. It takes only a fraction of a second for it to be shattered. I definitely cannot wait to dive into the next one! Although slow – which isn’t always a bad thing – and featuring some of my most disliked tropes, it pulled me out of a… Continue reading
About Me
Books and food enthusiast. I discovered a love for reading in my late teens, so you’ll see me catching up on older series quite often. I also love to travel around the UK, where I live, and picking up some crafty hobbies – I hope to share snippets of this amongst all the book content. Other interests include gaming, podcasts, drinking too much tea, and trying to personify autumn.
