The Book of the Unnamed Midwife: Meg Elison’s Intense Sci-Fi Masterpiece
Winner of the 2014 Philip K Dick Award for Distinguished Science Fiction, Meg Elison’s The Book of the Unnamed Midwife is an incredible science fiction read that is confronting, chilling, and wonderfully constructed.

Ashley Poston’s The Seven Year Slip Has My Heart Melting
The Seven Year Slip has been on my tbr for a while now, probably over a year at this point, so to finally cross it off my list is a great feeling. What’s more, my reading experience with yet another magnificent Ashley Poston book has been a genuine pleasure on one of my favourite kids…

I’m back on the romance grind, this time with Helen Hoang’s The Kiss Quotient. I don’t know what it is about the romances I’ve picked up recently, but there has been a bit of everything and the setting, themes, and relationships have been a mixed bag. It’s made it quite fun to get through them,…

I Will Never Get Over Lucy Score’s Things We Never Got Over
I think the popular romance books might have me in their clutches. First, I went through the Ali Hazelwood books, then I finally started the Windy City series, and now Lucy Score’s Things We Never Got Over has left me with a romance book hangover. I don’t even mind! It is certainly worthy of its…
