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, […]
This is one of those books where I was super excited for, but it ended up being quite disappointing for how average it is. There is nothing about The Marked Girl that marks it out of the dozens of Young Adult books out there, despite the exciting premise and gorgeous cover. All the elements and characters we see […]
This book was undeniably cute and full of sweet moments. There were also many hilarious (and quite embarrassing) scenes that had me giggling the whole time! All in all, this light, fluffy contemporary is such a lovely read that’ll definitely give you all the fuzzies. The characters were absolutely endearing and the romance was absolutely […]
I absolutely love Sarah Ockler’s books but, not too long ago, only two of them were available digitally in Australia and the UK.

I think what stands out throughout the book were the characters: their motives for what they do, the consequences they go through, and the growth that completes it all. While I don’t mind character development, I […]
Today I’m pleased to host Strings by David Estes on Happy Indulgence! As you may know, David Estes is one of my favourite indie authors, having absolutely loved Moon Dwellers (Review), Brew (Review) and Fire Country (Review). Strings is a dark Pinocchio retelling in a science fiction setting. Review You know how fairy tales are […]
You know that feeling you get when you’re reading a book and you glance at the pages and you get scared that there’s so little of the book left and it’s just like NOO PLEASE GIVE ME MORE PAGES? That was me throughout this whole book. Seriously, the ARC is 358 pages and one of […]
This was hands-down the most adorable book I’ve read this year. Not going to lie, Spencer Hill has some amazing contemporaries out there, and Bookishly Ever After was no exception. What drew me to this book at first was the fact that the main character is a total bookworm and the love interest plays clarinet. […]
