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 […]
I say this every year, but I can’t believe it’s that time of the year again where we choose our favourite reads of the year (check out Jenna’s favourite books of 2021)! This was the year where I picked up many highly anticipated high fantasy reads on my TBR, and even gave ones that I […]
This year has flown by so quickly for me, despite spending a good 5 months in hard lockdown. Thankfully it meant that I had a lot of time to read (and I actually did use the time to read, unlike last year). This year, I also managed to complete my Goodreads goal of 100 books […]
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 […]
I was extremely hesitant to pick up A Lady’s Guide to Mischief and Mayhem because it has a pretty low rating on Goodreads. Like 3.43 stars low (at time of writing this review). But I’m really glad I did because I highly enjoyed it. My favourite part of A Lady’s Guide to Mischief and Mayhem was definitely […]
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 […]
