I'm Back!

So, it’s been an interesting (and very busy) time for me. Over Christmas and January I was doing an internship at Angry Robot, and since then I’ve been catching up with stuff and exploring some new opportunities. It’s been fun!

And of course, I’ve been reading some great books too! In addition to being piled with Angry Robot, Strange Chemistry and Exhibit A books (SO many amazing looking books!), I’ve finally started reading a series that I’ve been dying to try: Mary Robinette Kowal’s Glamourist series. I’ve also been reading some great book club picks, including The Lions of Al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay and The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy. And I’m currently LOVING The Copper Promise by Jennifer Williams. For Valentine’s Day I finally got to see Disney’s Frozen (adored it!), and I’m super excited that we’ve just got Netflix! I won’t tell you how far into The Vampire Diaries I am already, because that would just be embarrassing...

And so now, after a bit of a hiatus, I’m going to be kick-starting the blog again, getting back to posts and reviews. :-)

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the things coming up:


Shades of Milk and Honey by Mary Robinette Kowal
The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy
The Copper Promise by Jennifer Williams
Assembly Code by Colin F Barnes
The Lions of Al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay
Some Kind of Fairy Tale by Graham Joyce
Gretel and the Dark by Eliza Granville

    1. Thanks Ellie! :D Some Kind of Fairy Tale is so good, very different to the usual fairy story fantasy book. Hope you get a chance to read it soon!

  9. Nice to see you, I'm a new blogger on the block, UK based as well. I don't actually watch a lot of TV any more, but my teenage children certainly get their money's worth out of their Netflix subscription, I tell you!
