Emerging from my Empire of Storms slumber, I rise and attempt to tell you my jumbled thoughts about it. I’m constantly in awe of this expansive fantasy world that Sarah J Maas has created, filled with wyverns, magic, fae lords, witches, pirate lords, hidden armies and evil. Following multiple characters across Erilea, we see witches fighting for their […]
I was expecting great, great things from It Ends With Us and I was a little bit let down. It’s been established that I definitely do not have a heart of steel but yet I didn’t find myself connecting with the emotion of the story or shedding a tear at what happened in this book. […]
Think: fluffy, clumsy, idiosyncratic and heartwarming. I think those are good words that sum up this book. It’s a fairly quick read, and having a contemporary setting and easy-to-follow dialogue make it go even quicker.

I’m finally glad to be getting this review out of the way. Not only have I been stuck at 78% of this book since getting an advanced copy months ago, but I can’t bring myself to finish it. The original luster of the plot that so attracted me in the beginning has really lost its […]
Phew, it’s been a super busy time lately, I have barely had time to blog! I don’t know what I would do without Aila and Jenna and scheduling! Next week I’m heading to Brisbane Writer’s Festival and catching up with lots of authors and bloggers. I’ll also film an August reading wrap up and put […]
Welcome to our stop on the Words in Deep Blue blog tour! The only word I can think of to describe this book is ‘delightful’. Words in Deep Blue is everything that I want in a book. It’s beautifully written, just the right amount of emotional and has a realistic romance that I can get […]
