Today is the release of The Court of Miracles in Australia, and today I share my thoughts on the book! The Court of Miracles is described as a mash up of Les Misérables and The Jungle Book, and if that wasn’t enough to pique my curiousity, the beautiful foiled cover definitely did. I haven’t read the original Les […]
You Should See Me in a Crown brought me so much joy and delight in the few short hours that it took me to listen to the audiobook. It was the perfect mix of cute and fluffy, with some more serious themes of anxiety, chronic illness and homophobia. If you’re looking for a quick contemporary with […]
I just wanted to say straight up that I read Warrior of the Wild over a year ago. This review is based on the notes I made while I read it, but I do admit my memory is foggy… The Good Things I will admit that I bought this at least partially for the gorgeous cover […]
Only Mostly Devastated was such a cute and heartfelt contemporary novel about grief, family, friendship and identity. It was lighthearted and adorable, but also explored some complex and serious themes, including loss and sexual identity.

For those who don’t follow me on instagram, this past year I started doing some Pro vs Con style mini reviews. They’re quick and easy to write and read, so I thought I’d try posting them here too and see how they go on an actual blog. The Good Things The writing is beautiful. I […]
I’ve been looking forward to a new book from Marie Rutkoski for a long time and I have some mixed feelings about The Midnight Lie. It’s set in Herrath, an island that sits in the same world as The Winner’s Trilogy and, while I loved being back in the same world and hearing mentions of some of the […]
In search of a good mystery thriller, I picked up Deep Water after I received an ARC and then it happened – I couldn’t put it down! I really enjoyed Small Spaces which was Sarah’s debut thriller, so I knew I was going to enjoy this one too. Henry Weaver is a thirteen year boy who […]
This review may contain spoilers for other books in the Shadowhunter Chronicles, especially The Infernal Devices. Chain of Gold is the book I have been waiting years for. The Infernal Devices was the first Shadowhunters trilogy that I read and it remains my favourite to date. In fact, it absolutely still is one of my favourite series of all time. I […]
