  • Amari and the Night Brothers – B.B. Alston

    Amari and the Night Brothers – B.B. Alston

    Hello everyone, long time no see!  It’s been a while. I’ve been in the most dreadful reading slump lately, as well as been focusing on doing some freelance work, upskilling and building my own website. However, I am happy to say that things have been going well and participating in this book tour was a…

  • We Are All Problematic, So Why Should We Expect Fictional Characters to Be Perfect?

    Hey everyone! I’m back with a discussion post today. Recent life events, and discussions I see on Twitter about problematic people, authors, and fictional characters have made me think about how at certain points our outbursts concerning certain characters may be more harmful to our understanding of human nature than we think. Here are the…

  • The Inheritance Games – Jennifer Lynn Barnes

    The Inheritance Games – Jennifer Lynn Barnes

    Today I’ll be talking about a book that I reviewed as part of a grand book tour, organized by the lovely Dave, or @TheWriteReads, as he is known on Twitter. This book was hyped up as a great read, a YA filled with puzzles, mystery, and an interesting take on a love triangle. This was…

    May Day – Josie Jaffrey: A Vampire mystery with a punch!

    Hello again my fellow bibliophiles, I am taking part in an amazing blog tour, organized by the one and only @TheWriteReads on Twitter (you rock, Dave!!), and I am so glad that I took part in this one because this book was something else. Josie Jaffrey took the vampire trend and spun it into something…

    Gut-Wrenching, Heart-Warming, & Action-Packed Night – Alexandria Warwick

    Hello, my dear book lovers, Ah, do I have a juicy review for you today. The author of this book, Alexandria, kindly contacted me and asked if I could review this ARC after I had previously reviewed the first one in the series (which you can read here), and I just couldn’t say no. I…

  • A Court of Frost and Starlight – Sarah J. Maas

    A Court of Frost and Starlight – Sarah J. Maas

    Today I will be reviewing a novella which forms part of the infamous ‘A Court of Thorns and Roses’ series, and one that I found did not live up to the hype of its predecessors. However, there are a few things that I would like to discuss about this book that I did enjoy, as…

  • On Accountability – Thoughts and Reflections

    Around this time last year, I wrote a short article for this blog about what I thought were the dangers of cancel culture and negative comments on artistic works. I thought it unfair and unnecessary to draw out so much negativity and bad will towards something that someone poured so much of their heart and…

  • The Hardships and Possibilities of COVID-19 – Thoughts & Reflections

    The Hardships and Possibilities of COVID-19 – Thoughts & Reflections

    Hello, dear friends! It’s been a while, and a lot has changed since I last posted on here. Like most of us here probably, the days have been a bit mixed. Some good, some not so good, some worse. Studying is proving to be a bit difficult at the moment as there are no definite…

  • A Coven of Her Own – Saskia Walker

    A Coven of Her Own – Saskia Walker

    Hello, hello, hello, Happy International Women’s Day, my fellow book lovers!  I hope you are having a wonderful day so far. Since today is about celebrating all types of women and their stories, I thought it would be fitting to talk about a book that celebrates a particular woman and her efforts to fight off…
