I was extremely hesitant to pick up A Lady’s Guide to Mischief and Mayhem because it has a pretty low rating on Goodreads. Like 3.43 stars low (at time of writing this review). But I’m really glad I did because I highly enjoyed it. My favourite part of A Lady’s Guide to Mischief and Mayhem was definitely […]
After reading and loving A Curse So Dark and Lonely, I was excited for a brand new fantasy series by Brigid Kemmerer. Even though it references a deadly plague spreading through the kingdom, and the cure distributed on the black market – something that eerily reflects the current environment we live in of COVID19. There’s just […]
The Good things I was part of a Tandem Collective Global readalong for this book and I’m glad I was! It was a marvellous book and an interesting blend of sci fi and literary fiction. Really fascinating concept that kept me intrigued the entire way through. Each chapter felt like its own little short story, […]
There’s nothing I love more than a second chance romance – it may even be my favourite romance trope. And The Road Trip did an amazing job of giving me everything I want in a good second chance romance.

The book follows Olive, who is a PhD candidate in biology, and Dr Adam Carlsen, an academic in her department, which got me super excited because […]

In this #LoveOzYA contemporary book, that’s exactly what happens to Luca, when he trips over the stairs of the ballet school and shatters his ankle. Everything he knows disappears in an instant – his promising ballet […]
TW: Addiction, grief, depression I have a love-hate relationship with Gayle Forman’s books. Just One Day is probably one of my favourite YA books of all time but I really struggled with her last few releases. I was not a fan at all of I Was Here and while I did enjoy I Have Lost My Way, I didn’t find it […]
What a fun and unique read! This Poison Heart features a blend of plant loving, Greek mythology and a haunting tale to find one’s own mysterious heritage. I thought Briseis was such a fun main character, particularly with her powers of growing and understanding plants (like Poison Ivy). Although this isolates her from other people, she has […]
