A little while ago, Jeann wrote a post about consumerism in the book community, which in summary basically said “if book bloggers/tubers/ influencers can afford to and want to spend money on books, good for them! Let them spend their money on what they want!” Which I whole heartedly agree with. But it also gave […]
The Good Things Standalone New Adult urban fantasy set in an alternate version of 1980s London. Aussie author! Writing and plot gave me strong vibes of a cross between The Raven Cycle and The Mortal Instruments. The story was chaotic and bizarre in the best way. Definitely unique! Lots of mythical creatures and lore! I […]
The Good Things I finally got around to one of the new Maggie Stiefvater novels! I like her books a lot. They always have really unique fantasy elements. Standalone! It was just the right length and wrapped up fairly well. Set in the 1960s, which isn’t a time period I’ve read before! This book was […]
The Good Things Gorgeous cover! The naked hardcover is stunning too. I read the entire thing in one 4 hour sitting. I couldn’t stop. The same thing happened with Sky in the Deep. Tova’s storyline is so interesting, with her seer powers. There are a lot of discussions about fate! There is basically no romance […]
Recently I’ve been trying to come up with more topics to base recommendation posts around. One of the ideas I had was for high fantasy series, specifically series that are longer than four or five books. I love high fantasy so I thought I’d be able to come up with a lot of books to […]

There’s a really strong connection to the Blackthron & Grim trilogy, one I didn’t realise existed until after I started reading! Three alternating […]
When you look at my bookshelf, it’s quite apparent that when it comes to series vs standalones, I much prefer to read series. A good 80% of my shelves are filled with various series. But scattered among those trilogies and quartets you’ll spy the odd standalone novel. When it comes to standalones, I have a […]
The Good things Hellloooooo amazing, action packed sci-fi! Loved this book the first time I read it, loved it just as much on reread. I feel like it’s best described as a sci-fi Top Gun (I say as if I’ve actually seen Top Gun and know what it’s about… But I mean, it’s a fighter […]
When I was writing a post on why I reread a little while ago, I realised I actually reread a lot of series. Well, that doesn’t quite explain exactly what I do. I don’t sit down and reread an entire series multiple times (though there are a few series I want to do a big […]
