Ah, physics, my love. It’s so easy to forget you. You make yourself a tough mistress to keep – one has to always pay you attention to even remember how to talk to you or read you. But when one does, there is such a big reward. Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★☆ 4 stars Real Quanta…

My long awaited sequel of The Calculating stars (review here) turned out to be just as amazing as the first book! After closing the last page, I was just as devastated as the first time round that I have to leave the world of this story. The Lady Astronaut books remain the kind of story you don’t really want to leave. Check out…

The Million was a really quick read that seemed to be promising, but sort of burned up before it got anywhere. I would certainly enjoy seeing sequels and finding out more about this world though! Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★☆☆ 3 stars The world has changed – it’s now a shared home. Most of the time,…

Rogue Protocol was another enjoyable read in the Murderbot series – I definitely liked it, but I have to admit, it lacked the spark that the two previous episodes had. You can read my reviews of All Systems Red, aka Murderbot #1 here and Artificial Condition, aka Murderbot #2 here. For those who have not read my previous reviews, I use the…

Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows was… Amazing. That’s all I can say about it in short, because if I open my mouth to talk more, I might just never shut up about it. Despite the really scandalous sounding name, you should really, really, REALLY read this book. It’s especially recommended to women. It might change your understanding of womanhood, and…

So my ARC reading… Could have been better this month… That’s how I felt about my stats: A GIF of a woman covering her face and saying ‘I can’t look’ Or that’s what I thought, and then did #24in48. I have to say, readathons are effective!!! (Captain Obvious to the rescue.) I think I’d only read for like 18 hours or…

So I normally have my monthly wrap-ups later in the month, but I’ve decided to change it up this month. August will include a lot of traveling, camping and other fun, so I probably won’t be able to schedule a lot of Sunday posts, or at least, in a lot of detail. I already have a lot of posts scheduled…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★✬ 4.5 stars Six of Crows has been sitting on my Kindle for a looooong time, and at least half of that time it was waiting to be read because me and Marie @ Drizzle and Hurricane Books had agreed to do a buddy read! About a month or so ago, Marie told me…

This was one of my most magical reads of the year! I am absolutely in love with this sweet, adorable story. And I’m not a sweet story person even! For anyone who loved Practical Magic, this is the softer and more sepia tale that will not give you even a drop of sadness. Well, maybe a little bit of wistfulness!…

It is no secret that most of us bookish people like lists. And we really like lists. We make lists of books we own. We make lists of books we want. But most importantly… We make lists of books we need to read. Some of those lists are for books we genuinely just want to read. Some of them are…

I was very excited to read The Anomaly after I got the publisher’s invitation. There was promise of conspiracy, ancient secrets, danger and fright – anything ranging from Indiana Jones to Uncharted and all that. Exciting! I was kind of sad when at 40% of the book, nothing much had really happened, and when at 70% it just lost me. I…

So I have been holding onto some books that I’ve finished a while ago but haven’t reviewed yet, and you know what? I’ve decided it’s time for some mid-year shelves cleanout. I’m going to just make this a mini review post and review ALL of the books! Okay, so maybe minus one or two that I still want to give…

This was a really fun kids book! Recommended to me by Lilyn @ Scifi and Scary, it delivered the promise. Definitely recommended to read with your child, or to give as a present. Let’s get on with the reasons why I recommend it! 4 Reasons To Read Sarah & Katy and the Book of Blank Check out on Goodreads Get…

Well… June has been one tough month. My blog was broken for most of it, we had serious health tax problems that are not even our fault (and we’re still having them), my grandma got mysteriously sick (and it’s still unresolved), and I also had a very exhausting trip to another country. So it’s safe to say that it was…

State of the ARC announcement! So do you remember how last time I talked about maybe a State of the ARC bingo? Well, it’s happening! I’ve decided to make it 9 prompts and have it last till the end of the year. The bingo is made up of items that we are all likely to find in our stack of ARCs (so…

I’m always excited to read astronaut books, as you might know from my posts like this one, this one or this one. So I was even more excited to read one where women fight their ground to get to be astronauts. As it turned out, it was not an easy fight, even if it’s one written in an alternate 50’s Earth.…

So, okay. The headline might be a little strong? But I got your attention, didn’t I! So before we get carried away, let me tell you why I’m posting about this today – Margaret @ Weird Zeal is having a Harry Potter Anniversary Week! To celebrate, she’s doing posts all week (you’ve probably seen some already!), and I’ve decided to join…

Reviewing Wife in Name Only is quite a dilemma for me – on one hand, it was an engaging, tense read, but on the other – it’s entirely full of sexist, class-prejudiced nonsense that a book couldn’t really do without in the 19 century. Which is why it it’s probably best said that Wife in Name Only is simply a product of…

So I have been promising you some MOAR @Paperfury content since posting my review of A Thousand Perfect Notes. Since me and Cait are SUCH GOOD FRIENDS … blogger buddies … OKAY since Cait is so cool she’s gonna answer a few questions on my blog today! So the idea was a quickfire Q&A, but honestly? If you know me… The…

I was incredibly excited when I was approved for a review copy of The Freeze-Frame Revolution – and rightly so! It turned out to be a remarkably refreshing scifi that is both new, yet retains the best parts of hard classical scifi. I absolutely loved it and now can’t wait to read more by Peter Watts! Check out on Goodreads Get…
