To be honest, the way my year has started has been probably one of the worst starts to a year I can remember. Sorry I keep disappearing. I quit my job this week and it took a lot out of me. Something about not having a regular like that, no job or school and not … Continue reading Faves: January 2017
All My Friends Are Superheroes
No Spoilers. In my last year of university, my dissertation tutor wanted me to read this book. While it sounded interesting enough, the only way I could get a copy was by buying it online and I was trying not to buy any books because my suitcase was heavy enough as it was. I think … Continue reading All My Friends Are Superheroes
Gymming
I joined a gym today. When it comes to working out...I don't. So I started small and hardly did anything and I still barely made it down the stairs without falling over because my legs were feeling wobbly. How embarrassing. I'll be back tomorrow. The challenge with gymming is persistence. I'm going to have to keep … Continue reading Gymming
On Top of That
Despite the fact that I've only written a single post since the beginning of this month, people have kept subscribing to my blog. I appreciate the vote of confidence, and I suppose I should start writing again to make your loyalty worthwhile. In case you haven't guessed from the prolonged and unforgivable absence (I have a … Continue reading On Top of That
Red Queen
No Spoilers. I've been following Victoria Aveyard on Twitter for a while now. While I've found her book blurb intriguing enough, I was never in any rush to read it. It sounded unoriginal to me. A world where some people have silver blood and superpowers, and the rest are just plain, red-blooded humans who are seen … Continue reading Red Queen
A Fierce and Subtle Poison
Mild Spoilers at the end. I'll let you know. A Fierce and Subtle Poison, I am happy to say, is as good a book as it's cover. I took a chance on this one, having never heard of it before. The cover told me the bare minimum about the book, but the first sentence of … Continue reading A Fierce and Subtle Poison
Three Dark Crowns
Spoiler-free. Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake came out three weeks ago, so if you've never heard of it, just give it time. I'd never heard of it before picking it up in the bookstore to study its cover. It's black matte, and the art is incredible, easy to study for a while without getting … Continue reading Three Dark Crowns
October Reads
I've got two beautiful books to live on for the month of October. I hadn't heard of either before spotting them in the bookstore, so I'm going in without any preconceived notions about them. A Fierce and Subtle Poison by Samantha Mabry: "How would you describe your condition?" I asked. Isabel didn't respond. Instead, her eyes … Continue reading October Reads
(#23) Weeklies
I wonder whether I should just make it official and rename these Bi-Weeklies? Nah. Stephen King said, "Reading takes time, and the glass teat takes too much of it." Sorry to disappoint, Mr. King. But although I watch way too much television and internet videos, I did manage to get work done today so yay … Continue reading (#23) Weeklies

The Accident Season follows Cara, her older sister Alice, her ex-stepbrother Sam, and her best friend Bea in the month of October. Every October is accident … Continue reading The Accident Season
