January Wrap Up

So I've had a pretty chilled out month. I went to see Hamilton in London, which was absolutely incredible. Since then I've been at uni for the whole month and I'm only in for a couple of days a week so I don't really do much and have had a lot of time for playing …

The First Rule of Punk by Celia C. Perez

Thank you to netgalley and Viking Books for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Ok so this is an adorable book about a mixed race girl not knowing where her place is in the world. Malu has to move for her mum's job meaning she won't get to …

The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan

I don't know if there is much for me to say about this book that I haven't previously said about the novels in this series. This was a solid finish for the series and I think tied up a few ends of this series to feel like it ended but left some loose too so …

The Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan

I felt like with this novel Riordan really kicked it up a notch for the Percy Jackson series. There was confusion, there was intrigue, and there was so much to it. I really loved that we see Percy's relationships with all his friends get so much stronger. You can see pairings that aren't often put …

Mini Reviews #4

Glutton for Pleasure by Alisha Rai This is a polyamorous book with chubby Indian representation. I liked the idea of this book and the book itself is good for the most part, however I did occasionally find the twins awkward to read and I sometimes felt uncomfortable by it. This is possibly because the were …

Mapping the Interior by Stephen Graham Jones

Content warning: abuse, implied rape, death, weird ghost stuff, animal abuse, ableism Thank you to netgalley and Tor for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. A boy can feel a presence in his house, and then he sees the spirit of his father. Weird things start to happen that shouldn't …

I Heart Hollywood by Lindsey Kelk

Content warnings: outing ultimatums, gay closeting I didn't enjoy this quite as much as the first in the series, I felt like some of the characters were slightly off. Kelk's writing was as humorous as ever, but something wasn't quite right. The title being I Heart Hollywood when Angela absolutely hated it was wildly confusing. …

2018 Most Anticipated

Ok so I have a lot of books I'm excited for this year, but as I still have so many books from last year to read who knows when the heck I'm going to get to them. The first 3 books are the most most anticipated but after that it's all about the same. One …

Peter Darling by Austin Chant

This book is so important. Content warning for: character death, transphobia, and I think other stuff but I read this a while ago and can't remember exactly. Peter left Neverland to return to real life and grow up as Wendy Darling. However this has only made him realise how strongly he identifies as a man. …
