    Book Review – The Bookshop Below by Georgia Summers

    16 December 2025 /

    I always love books about books and bookshops, and the premise of this sounded so intriguing! The concept of magic coming from books and bookshops via the river? Sign me right up!

    Book Review – Some Like it Cold by Elle McNicoll

    14 December 2025 /

    I loved the concept of this - and as most of the romance I read is adult, I was looking forward to this being a YA take on it. However, I'm going to be honest, I very nearly DNF'd this and I'm so glad I didn't.

    Book Review – Miss Beeton’s Murder Agency by Josie Lloyd

    4 February 2025 /

    This was very implausible but a lot of fun! It was nice that the police weren’t too bumbling for once, and Alice was one heck of a sleuth.

    Book Review – Mindbreaker by Kate Dylan

    28 January 2025 /

    I really enjoyed this trip back to the world of Mindwalker! I wasn’t super sure at first as I hadn’t realised it was following a new character.

    Book Review – Crucible of Chaos by Sebastien de Castell

    25 January 2025 /

    I am a huge fan of Sebastien's work, and the Greatcoats series is honestly banging. So I was most excited when I found out Estevar was getting his own book!

    Book Review – The Drowned Woods by Emily Lloyd-Jones

    23 April 2024 /

    I was apprehensive about this, as it sounded (and is) very Welsh, but is written by an American. Well, whatever magic Lloyd-Jones employed to do this worked! It is stunningly atmospheric and beautiful.

    Book Review – All of Our Demise by Amanda Foody and C L Herman

    18 April 2024 /

    I simply adored the first book in this series, it is dark and tricksy, and just generally great fun to read. This finale to the duology is no different, I am happy to say! I'm honestly already tempted to reread them both :D

    Book Review – Bronte Tempestra and the Lightning Steeds by Bex Hogan

    12 April 2024 /

    Bex is one of my favourite young adult authors and I was so excited to see her branch out into middle grade books - especially as Bronte is aimed at the younger end of that category, something I don't see a lot of. Plus it's illustrated and there are maps! I always love to see those.

    Book Review – Once Upon a Summer: A Folk and Fairy Tale Anthology

    2 June 2023 /

    ften wary of anthologies, as the stories can cover such a wide range and don't always fit my tastes. Well with this one, I needn't have worried. I liked most of the stories, and loved more than a few! I definitely think wintery fairytales is the way forward for me :D There's such a great spread of ideas in this, but all still managing to come together really nicely.
