Review: The Ickabog
The Ickabog by J.K. Rowling I’m a big fan of the Harry Potter books, even if I don’t agree with many of Rowling’s views, so when I saw that she’d written another children’s book, I thought I’d give it a try. I was even more intrigued because of the beautiful cover. Read: June 5 –…

Review: The Sun and the Star
The Sun and the Star by Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro I rearranged by TBR list specially so I could read this book so soon after its release. I don’t normally do this, but I went out and bought the book the day it was in stores—coincidentally the day I passed my driving test for…

Review: House of Ravens
The Shadow Atlas: House of Ravens by Jenny Sandiford This is the prequel to the series, all about Torin Dumont. It was no longer available on BookSirens by the time I was ready for it, so instead I downloaded it from Sandiford’s website for free when I subscribed to her newsletter. I’ve been loving the…

Review: Dune
Dune by Frank Herbert I bought this from a small bookshop near my house called The Owl and the Cat Bookery that I didn’t know existed until I stumbled upon it one day. I’d heard of the book before, though I haven’t dived too deep into any hardcore science fiction until now. Read: Apr. 24…
