I don’t really know what to make of this book. Have you ever read something and felt like you simultaneously understood everything and understood nothing? This is one of those books for me. As I was reading it, I felt like I was able to follow the science and physics of what was going on, […]
It is not a character flaw if I don’t agree with you, and respecting my opinion does not take away from yours. Imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning with tweets that were talking about fighting and pitting readers against each other. My first thought was – wtf? Why am I getting these […]
Indulgence Insider is our version of Stacking the Shelves, Bought, Borrowed & Bagged and the Sunday Post, bringing you this week’s haul, bookish news and discussion posts from around the blogosphere! I’m mentally and emotionally exhausted from the week. There was a lot of drama and backlash over my negative review of ACOMAF. That’s not the […]
It’s not often I get to visit Sydney and spend time with my fellow bloggers, but when Sydney Writer’s Festival came up with an all day YA event, I knew it was the perfect time. Only having a weekend there, I knew time was going to be short, especially since I have friends in Sydney […]

I was so delighted when I learned that the author’s previous debut work, Love Fortunes and Other Disasters, would be getting a companion sequel. Love Charms introduces a competition going on in Grimbaud for love charm-makers that want to fill in the spot that Zita left after she was defeated in the first book. Obviously, […]
So I was in the kitchen last night, getting stressed over the tasteless pasta I was making that happened to be both undercooked and soggy at the same time, and I came to a realisation. I don’t think I’m ever going to enjoy cooking or being in the kitchen. It’s something that I’ve always envisaged suddenly […]
This book contains spoilers for the previous books. It’s like I’m always fated to dislike the end of trilogies, no matter what goes down and how perfectly it ends.
