Most anticipated releases 2018

New publications are flying out these days and it’s so difficult to keep up with what’s what.

I’ve pre-ordered 4 new releases and already have a few more on my radar (finance dependent). Check out the list below.

Happy New Year! [Resolutions]

2018 is off to a flying start; so far all I’ve seen is endless optimism, it has absolutely dominated my internet interfaces. For shining out in a world that doesn’t always inspire it I’d very much like to extend a much coveted high-five to all you beacons of positivity! You go Glen Coco. In that same spirit I’m going to charge straight ahead with my new years resolutions in the hope that I can succeed with at least a commendable 50% completion rate. Wish me luck! Get my Netgalley percentage up to a healthy 60%  Whilst I’d love to hit the golden 80% this year I definitely over-requested…

Etiquette for Book Borrowing and Lending

Sharing the gift of reading is a pleasure and a curse. On one hand it’s so, so fun to find someone who shares your love of Hogwarts, Narnia or Velaris. On the other hand, WHAT IF THEY SABOTAGE YOUR BOOK AND SUBSEQUENTLY YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM AND YOU CEASE TO BE FRIENDS FOR THE REST OF EVER?! Is it ever worth losing both? Thankfully there are steps you can both take to help you avoid the crippling sorrow of a soiled paperback. (And to help them avoid your wrath!) Lending Lending Procedure Don’t lend out books you won’t get over losing. Keep your favourites, your antiques, your first editions, signed, and personalised copies to…

My bookish Christmas list

Goodbye Halloween! See you next year! AND HELLO CHRISTMAS!!! I am already excited for all the loveliness the winter season brings, Christmas, of course, being a big feature. Last year I was packing to move off to Canada but this time I’m around a little longer and get to enjoy the whole, fabulous season. As such I’ve been holding off on some spending and keeping track of some wonderful things. Of course, I don’t expect to get all of them but I do enjoy the process of creating a Christmas list, it gives me a wonderful shopping list for the January sales! This is a bit like one of those fantasy sports leagues, except…

Vicious by V.E.Schwab: Review

I read my first Schwab book and it was marvellous! Title: Vicious Author: V.E.Schwab Publication date: September 24th 2013 Pages: 368 Blurb:  Victor and Eli started out as college roommates—brilliant, arrogant, lonely boys who recognized the same sharpness and ambition in each other. In their senior year, a shared research interest in adrenaline, near-death experiences, and seemingly supernatural events reveals an intriguing possibility: that under the right conditions, someone could develop extraordinary abilities. But when their thesis moves from the academic to the experimental, things go horribly wrong. Ten years later, Victor breaks out of prison, determined to catch up to his old friend (now foe), aided by a young girl whose reserved nature obscures a…
