“Thanks for the Trouble” by Tommy Wallach
I have been incredibly lucky in that the last few book I’ve read have been pure genius. Thanks for the Trouble is no exception. I bought this book when I was in Dymocks in Queen St Mall, forever and a day … Continue reading

“The Sign of Four” by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
I do not review classics. If you’ve been hanging around this blog for a while, you will know that I do not review classics. These are books that have been around for lifetimes before me and will probably be around … Continue reading
“The Girl Who Soared Over Fairyland and Cut the Moon in Two” by Catherynne M Valente
It’s been a few days since I finished this Fairyland book, so this could be a very short one today, because I really just want to talk about the impression that this book has left on me, rather than the story itself. … Continue reading
“The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There” by Catherynne M Valente
Before I get into this review, I just want to say that yes that is a colouring-in bookmark. I’m saving it for the end of the year. I think I’m going to need some relaxation after this semester. But moving … Continue reading

“Angels Twice Descending” by Cassandra Clare and Robin Wasserman
I feel like there is very little more frustrating than being stuck at home, needing to be somewhere, and yet you can’t leave until your washing is done. I’m heading to my mum’s place for the weekend and I should … Continue reading
‘We All Looked Up” by Tommy Wallach (An ARC Review)
For the first time in my history of blogging, I have not only read an ARC (Advanced Reading Copy), but I have finished it before the official release date! Go me! Getting this book was a surprise. I remember … Continue reading
