I never read this series before, even though it's usually on must-read fantasy lists and it came out in 2009. But of course it's never too late to start reading a book (one of the best things about them, probably - it's like reaching back through the years). My brother told me he was going … Continue reading The Warded Man | Peter V. Brett | 4 stars
I am so excited for Furyborn! I was ever since I read the plot on Goodreads. Two queens in prophecy, but a 1000 years apart? I'm calling that a unique idea in YA fantasy. The book also looks pretty amazing, and after reading it I am still just as enthusiastic about Claire Legrand's Furyborn. I wonder what's … Continue reading Furyborn | Claire Legrand | 4 stars
I always start off my reviews of contemporary YA with the disclaimer that I don't often read contemporary YA. Recently I've been reading a bit more of it, and I don't know if I can comfortably say that anymore. I do still love fantasy more as a genre, but I've been reading my fair share … Continue reading Save the Date | Morgan Matson | 4 stars
I read Sky in the Deep after requesting it as an ARC from the publisher. I'm usually a little reserved when it comes to books about the far past. I can't really tell you why that is, because one of my favourite books ever since I was sixteen is Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean M. Auel. … Continue reading Sky in the Deep | Adrienne Young | 3 stars
Such magical, mythical words… the book fair! A place for insiders only, an event happening behind the scenes. Publishers and bookstores come together to decide what’s in store (literally and figuratively) for the coming months. Which books get the publishers excited? What kind of promotions do they have in mind to tempt us? And what … Continue reading The Book Buying Process (For the Bookstore)
I have finally gotten around to writing the review for A Court of Thorns and Roses. I have just reread it for about the fifth or sixth time. I read it about a year before I ever started blogging, and I always find it difficult to do reviews in hindsight. Especially because I've finished the … Continue reading A Court of Thorns and Roses | Sarah J Maas | 4.5 stars
It's that time of year again! I'm still reading Oathbringer (although much faster now that I'm nearing the end. Which I wish I wasn't doing, but I can't help it - it's just so damned exciting!) and I can reasonably say I won't make any huge discoveries in 2017 anymore when it comes to new … Continue reading Favourite reads of 2017
It's always so hard to choose which tag to do next. I usually have a few of them lined up and I try to make sure I don't do two in a row that are too similar. When I came across the Book Reader Problems Tag on The Book Nut, I couldn't resist doing this … Continue reading Book Reader Problems Tag
It's coming to the end of the year, and considering I only have Oathbringer on Nov 14th to look forward to for the rest of 2017, it's time to check 2018 out! A new year, with new books and new authors to be discovered. Considering that 2016 was an amazing year for me in terms of … Continue reading Anticipated YA releases 2018 | Part 1: Jan-Jun
I'm back! I finally have a new internet connection and I have given my website a complete make-over to show a bit more professionalism mixing in with all the fun book tags, reviews and blogs. After all, I have officially started calling myself an online marketeer after having done the job "unofficially" for two years … Continue reading My Life in Books Tag
