The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna book review

This surely is peak cosy read. I devoured this within a few reading sessions and loved every minute of it. Completely innocent (well, almost) and definitely funny, this is a fun witchy read to add to your TBR.

Boudicca’s Daughter by Elodie Harper | book review

Boudicca's Daughter by Elodie Harper book review

This was every bit as phenomenal as I had anticipated. Since reading Harper's Wolf Den trilogy, I've been so excited for what she would write next – and this certainly didn't disappoint. This is a beautifully woven reimagining of the Boudicca story/history, but told from one of her daughter's perspectives: Solina.

The Silver Gryphon by Mercedes Lackey | book review

The Silver Gryphon by Mercedes Lackey book review

A great conclusion to the first trilogy! This series covers so much time and it was great having this last book feature the next generation. I thought I'd be sad to not have Skan & Drake full front and centre, but I still really enjoyed all the perspectives in this instalment.

The Black Gryphon by Mercedes Lackey | book review

The Black Gryphon by Mercedes Lackey book review

This was everything and more that I hoped it would be. Being my first (!) Mercedes Lackey book, I was apprehensive that this wouldn't live up to my ever-increasingly high expectations, but it so did. And here I am, 100% ready to commit to the whole Valdemar universe.

The Rise and Reign of the Mammals by Steve Brusatte book review

You might not think that a humongous book about the evolution of mammals could be your favourite read of the year so far, but I'm here to tell you that it's very possible. I have collected some of my favourite little quotes from the book for you all to enjoy, speckled throughout this review.

A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson book review

This was unexpectedly spectacular?! I had [WRONGLY] assumed this book was cruising purely on baffling TikTok hype, but this is actually exceptional.

Crystal Crowned by Elise Kova | book review

Crystal Crowned by Elise Kova book review

The epic conclusion to the Air Awakens series!

Earth’s End by Elise Kova | book review

Earth's End by Elise Kova book review

Another great instalment to this series - things have only become bigger and more serious (and more exciting!) I think this is also my favourite of the books so far. I really have nothing to complain about for this one.

The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst | book review

The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst

Well, Sarah Beth Durst certainly nailed the brief when she said she wanted to write a book that felt like drinking a hot chocolate. This book has to be the definition of cosy fantasy, and I loved every second of it.

Of Monsters and Mainframes by Barbara Truelove | book review

Of Monsters and Mainframes by Barbara Truelove book review

There is nothing more delightful than when an absurd-sounding plot is pulled off magnificently.
