My FIRST EVER GAIMAN!! I went into this book blind, knowing nothing more than what was on the blurb of the book and wanting to start reading Neil Gaiman’s works on one of the less-intimidating texts! Because lets be real,… Read More ›
Fiction Reviews
Jane Doe and the Cradle of All Worlds, Jeremy Lachlan
Alright nerds, I’m going to be honest and say I had High Hopes for this book. I had Expectations. The last middle grade book I read was Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow and it might be a little unfair… Read More ›
Records of a Spaceborn Few, Becky Chambers
Can I just say, when requesting a book for review you should always employ your eyeballs for the purpose to which they evolved and actually, properly, READ the description of the book you’re requesting a copy of. Especially that bit… Read More ›
Dead Until Dark, Charlaine Harris

Lifel1k3, Jay Kristoff
Here’s the first thing you need to understand: Lifel1k3 is the first of Jay Kristoff’s books that I have read. I still don’t know if that was a good idea, or a terrible idea. If you’re read Lifel1k3 or intend… Read More ›
Manga Classics: The Stories of Edgar Allan Poe
Hello hello, lovely readers! So: manga. I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect when I flipped to the first page (at the back!) of this book. While I’ve read comics and graphic novels, this was the first manga I have… Read More ›
