I Understand The Hype Around A Court of Mist and Fury Now
I remembered this book differently. Not to say that my opinion has shifted all that much.

The Penultimate Nail-biter City of Lost Souls
It’s funny the things you remember as you’re reading something. Cassandra Clare’s City of Lost Souls, for example, is a book that was a little murky for me except for two crystal clear snippets in my mind and oh were they just as punchy as the first time. I love the relationship shifts in this…

Wild is the Witch – The Best Book for Nature Witches
I had a feeling I would like this as much as I liked The Nature of Witches. I was wrong. I love this book more. I would die for this book. Wild is the Witch by Rachel Griffin is the pinnacle of naturalism to me – witches with strong roots in the outdoors, animals playing…

What Makes The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue A Fan Favourite?
I was always unsure about how The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab got so much praise and was on every girl’s favourites list several years back (and even still to this day). My first read of it ended in a sentiment that it wasn’t anything special, that people may have overhyped it,…
