Cambridge professor Emily Wilde is good at many things: She is the foremost expert on the study of faeries. She is a genius scholar and a meticulous researcher who is writing the world’s first encyclopaedia of faerie lore. But Emily Wilde is not good at people. She could never make small talk at a party—or even get… Continue reading Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries, Heather Fawcett

Project Hail Mary, Andy Weir
*runs around the room screaming* I don’t know how to review this. I seriously contemplated just posting a bunch of quotes. Is this my first Weir book? Yes. Did I convince my s/o to try The Martian last year because “he wasn’t a reader?” Even though I hadn’t read it? Also yes. But that’s because… Continue reading Project Hail Mary, Andy Weir
The Revenge of Joe Wild, Andrew Komarnyckyj
At the end of the book, the blurb states, “A classic slice of Americana…” I think that is incredibly apt for The Revenge of Joe Wild. This is a book that readers will call a classic indeed. “Looking back on things I wonder if Cath knew any of the secrets that came to light when… Continue reading The Revenge of Joe Wild, Andrew Komarnyckyj
Things in Jars, Jess Kidd

This is well reviewed;… Continue reading Things in Jars, Jess Kidd

The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina, Zoraida Córdova
The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina is a quirky read from the very start. The storyline is engaging, and it all seems so relatively, harmlessly normal. However, when we start to travel back in time to Orquídea’s youth, we can fully appreciate how we got to this point, with a large family whose matriarch has always… Continue reading The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina, Zoraida Córdova
The Night Ship, Jess Kidd
The Night Ship isn't releasing until October. But this came via a Goodreads giveaway, and anyone that has won there knows they email you to remind you to review the book. Which then had me worried if I didn't review it promptly, I wouldn't eventually win future books. I know I can't be the only… Continue reading The Night Ship, Jess Kidd
The Gilded Ones, Namina Forna
Why did I wait so long to read this book?! I bought it in a preorder, and it sat on my TBR shelf for far too long. As this is so well-reviewed, I have little more to contribute to help others decide to read this (which they should.) I always read others’ reviews before writing… Continue reading The Gilded Ones, Namina Forna
