This was very cool and very fun! It was also my first sci-fi book by Adrian Tchaikovsky, and boy oh boy, I am signing up for more.
Dogs of War by Adrian Tchaikovsky | book review
sci-fi
Hover Car Racer by Matthew Reilly | book review
This was absolutely thrilling - 100% fun in all the ways you can expect from Matthew Reilly. I had been so curious as to whether this would live up to his usual standards, seeing as it is quite different to his norm. But this was completely addictive and totally unputdownable, just like all his other stuff.

August 2025 Book Releases
It's that time of the month! August has some really exciting titles coming out - and happily, I'm travelling to Edinburgh this month and will catch some of the Edinburgh Book Festival (I'll try to remember to take some pictures to share!) Let's take a look at what we can adorn our shelves with this month.
July 2025 Book Releases
It's that time again! Writing these posts has turned out to be quite lethal, because since getting back into scouring the web for upcoming releases, my bookshelves have had quite a few extra additions to them ... the pre-order game is strong, friends.
Of Monsters and Mainframes by Barbara Truelove | book review
There is nothing more delightful than when an absurd-sounding plot is pulled off magnificently.
When the Moon Hits Your Eye by John Scalzi | book review
This was as wonderful as it was bizarre. It reads like a collection of short stories, capturing a variety of people's reactions to the moon suddenly turning into 'cheese'. I loved how creative this concept was, and how well Scalzi has managed to pull off the entire thing.
April 2025 Book Releases
Well, hello. It's been a while since I've posted anything other than a review - but here we are! Back in the good old days, I used to post regular upcoming release posts, and you know what? I miss doing that.
Deviate by Jay Kristoff | book review
The second book in the Lifelike series - this was okay for me, but a bit of a struggle to get through at times.
Signal Moon by Kate Quinn | Short Story Review
A beautiful and engaging short story written by a master.
