Is there anything better than a book about food? If you enjoy food-themed books, you will absolutely love this one. It’s so full of foodie goodness… with the added bonus of being set in the 19th century. My Fine Fellow is loosely based on My Fair Lady. The novel follows two soon-to-be-Culinarians, Helena and Penelope, who […]
The Good Things My reread of this nostalgia inducing series continues! This is probably my favourite book I’ve read in the series so far. It’s a YA steampunk/ historical fantasy by the way. We got so much Emily in this one! Her relationship with Sam is my favourite (but I think they might be beaten […]
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 […]
I was not ready for the wild ride that was My Contrary Mary. And I have no idea why because all of the first two Jane books (yes, sorry I will get to My Calamity Jane soon) were equally wild. But if you loved the world and the characters from My Lady Jane, you will highly enjoy My Contrary Mary. In […]
The Good Things I loved Caddy’s debut, Waer (it’s such a unique YA werewolf fantasy) so was excited to see how she took on pirates! P.S. Aussie author! Did I mention it’s an excellent standalone NA historical about pirates? Specifically Anne Bonny and Jack Rackham, with many more name drops. I thought I knew where […]
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 […]
This review may contain slight spoilers for the Stalking Jack the Ripper series. Ahhh, another satisfying end to a series and my heart is so full! Capturing the Devil is everything I wanted in a conclusion to the Stalking Jack the Ripper series – a return to everything we loved in the first two books, lots of […]
Today Aila and I discuss The Tiger’s Daughter by K. Arsenault Rivera, an East Asian inspired book featuring two lesbian princesses! Both Aila and I picked up this book and we had a lot of thoughts about it, so I thought a discussion review was in order to get out our thoughts… J: I first […]
It’s been a while since I’ve picked up a book that completely met my fancy, and I adored everything about The Gilded Wolves! From the lush 1880’s Parisian setting, to the problem solving for ancient artifacts, and the stunning cast of characters – each with special talents, I absolutedly adored it. The book features a dastardly gang […]
