Hey all! This time I’m doing a non-review post, and it’s not because I’m short on books I’ve read or back-logged reviews (I wish), it’s actually because I’ve been thinking of these for a while now and I can’t get them out of my mind! So I’ve decided to share: Anyone else who wants to participate can grab this disclaimer…

Hi everyone! A bit late maybe, but I’ve decided to do a book haul post this month after all. I didn’t get as many books in Feb as I did in Jan, so I wasn’t going to do one, but then I got inspired by Aoife’s lovely post about all the books she got from her friends, and decided to…

So, have you heard of the Rivers of London series? It’s actually called PC Grant or Peter Grant series, but since it started with Rivers of London, everyone just calls it that. It’s one of the best urban fantasy series ever! If you haven’t checked it out yet, please do. I will include the links to the series at the…

Today I’m reviewing Miranda and Caliban – a retelling of The Tempest by Shakespeare, which, I must admit, I have not read. That has had me worried about writing this review, but I guess it IS a retelling, so it’s okay if you read it as a standalone. I hate to say it, but as much as I’ve read of Shakespeare (and…

Back to the blog and so long to the unannounced, unplanned hiatus. Or rather, I hope so? Like some of you might have noticed, or at least my egoistic and attention craving little blogger-self hopes you have, I have been away from blogging for at least two weeks. A good, solid fortnight. And none the wiser, cause it wasn’t planned and I…

This blog post has been eaten up by the evil server-killing monsters on the unfortunate day of Jan 24th, when my blog has been offline for *gasp!* around 24 hours for the first time. I am reconstructing it through my GR review (which is thankfully almost the same, cause it was that one time I decided to be lazy and keep…

So this is actually a book people have been waiting for me to review. And yet… I finished this more than a week ago, and I still feel like my review is nowhere near the way I want it to be. No pressure. So I’ll just have to publish the review the way it is, because over all my fretting the…

Hello again, my lovely readers! I know I promised the review for The Bear And The Nightingale, but that’s still brewing, my lovelies. So sincerely sorry! I want to make it a good one… But in the meantime, I’ve knocked one more block off my huge ARC mountain from last year, so let’s talk about that one instead. I’m trying to…
Continue Reading→Hey all. It’s the middle of January and I’ve already realized my list of books that won’t count towards reducing my pre-2o17 TBR is quite big already, so… I’m doing a book haul post! Cause I’ve never done one, and I want to talk about these awesome books I got… And, do we really need a reason..? I think I’ll…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★★ 5 stars I’m finally going to review Faithful by Alice Hoffman. Originally, this was the first book I read this year. But I was having one of those “book too good to write review” things again. And now I’ve reviewed Throwing My Life Away, but still haven’t reviewed Faithful. Tut tut,…
Continue Reading→So it’s time for me to own up to the fact that I like fun books. Girly books. Highschool nostalgia books. CHICK BOOKS. Cause I’ve been waaaaay too intellectual to read any fun stuff. It was all a no-no, cause I mean, you’ve got to read all the tough stuff so everyone knows you sleep with your smarty pants on.…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★★ 5 stars So I’ve just finished this very awesome read that I am dying to put into a review. Like RIGHT NOW. NAO. (It’s the middle of the night.) I liked it so much I literally found the author’s website, clicked “email” and wrote a message basically along the lines of PLEASE…
Continue Reading→So I’ve been participating in a reading challenge this week and I’ve noticed it’s surprisingly very motivating (and not intimidating at all). And since I’ve stumbled upon another challenge this week, I’m going to, drumroll… …Commit for an entire year. These lovely people over at Herding Cats & Burning Soup are organizing a Blogger Shame yearly challenge, and you know…

A stunning cover and the promise of a heart-warming story – who wouldn’t want to get their hands on this? That’s precisely how I’ve felt ever since I saw this book on NetGalley back in autumn. Unfortunately for me, the book was already archived when I found it – which meant I couldn’t request the ARC anymore. I was disappointed,…
Continue Reading→I know I must be slightly late for this, and I haven’t posted a lot in general, lately, but you know – real life stuff. But I saw this on Paperfury’s blog and I thought it was really fun, so I’ve decided to do one of my own. Thanks for the tag idea, Cait! For those of you who haven’t…

I’ve been so happy about November being #RRSciFiMonth that I’ve only noticed now that I haven’t actually posted (haven’t even considered joining… ah, problems of a new blogger). That might be something to do with the fact that scifi is a normal part of my life, not just a one month in a year thing, or that I found out about…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★✬ 4.5 stars In short: The Comet Seekers is a wonderful book. I loved it. Main feel: layered, nostalgic, deep and emotional. Slow, will focus on feelings, coping with them, family events, and not action or developments, will also jump around timelines. However, very magical, very warm and personal. I loved this…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★☆ 4 stars So this book has been lying in my TBR for a looooong time. Pretty much till I forgot why it was I even wanted to read it. Then one of my Goodreads reading groups decided to pick it up, and I decided, hey, why not? I didn’t know the book…

Goodreads Book on Amazon Audiobook on Audible This post contains affiliate links ★★★★★ 5 stars So I’ve been putting this one off for quite a while. Because sometimes, when you read a really, and I mean REALLY good book, you’re just afraid your review will not do it justice. I still think that. But, despite that, I have decided to finally…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★★ 5 stars So I read a really enjoyable book this week. It was one I got for a voucher my friends gave me for my birthday, which was ages ago, but I only spent it last week. I got two books, one of those was The Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto. This…
