The Good Things A reread for me! I first read this series when they were being released (starting back in 2011-ish). I’ve been filled with so much nostalgia rereading. I do recommend this if you enjoy steampunk! There are some really fun inventions in this one. And this was set in New York, which was […]
Yes, I know it is no longer 2021 and this post is about a month overdue; however, I’m always paranoid that I’m going to find a new favourite in the last week of the year after I post my yearly wrap up so didn’t want to post it too soon… Which is exactly what happened […]
The Good Things This is such a fun YA historical fantasy series and a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde retelling (or at least a story inspired by it) It’s actually a reread for me! I first read The Girl in the Steel Corset back in 2011 when it was released. I’m rereading so I […]
The Good Things The final book in The Elementals Trilogy. I was so excited and terrified going into this. There were so many prophecies and predictions set in the earlier books that had yet to unfold. I was so scared for my favourite characters. The action gets going from the very first chapter! The story […]
The Good Things: The second book in Sherry Thomas’s YA historical fantasy series, The Elemental Trilogy, and a fantastic sequel. There are so many things I want to gush about. What I’m most pleased about is the fact that The Perilous Sea actually did an amnesia plotline well! I’m usually frustrated when an amnesia trope […]
The Good Things The first book in a YA historical fantasy series and a reread for me! I first read this back in 2014. It’s filled with some of my favourite fantasy tropes: a chosen one/ prophecy, elemental magic, a big evil, a world with brewing rebellion, and characters in disguise. I loved the magical […]
The Good Things Hello, my name is Bec and I have a book hangover thanks to this novel. It’s a YA standalone thriller. A historical fantasy/ supernatural thriller actually, which I didn’t realise until I was a few chapters in. This is one of the creepiest books I’ve ever read. Most supernatural things in books […]
The Good things I was part of a Tandem Collective Global readalong for this book and I’m glad I was! It was a marvellous book and an interesting blend of sci fi and literary fiction. Really fascinating concept that kept me intrigued the entire way through. Each chapter felt like its own little short story, […]
Hello, my name is Bec and I’m a notebook hoarder. I love notebooks and own a ridiculous amount. I’ve probably forgotten where half of my unused notebooks are. Most of them have been started, but I’m not sure I’ve ever actually filled one. Quite a few of my notebooks are dedicated to bookish things. Currently, […]
