Though the fear never quite left them, with the darkness only a walk away and the echoes that haunted the night so close. Trees stood watch around the village edge like silent sentries, their darkness a solid thing, broken only by one thin winding path that led through the stoic boughs. Carve the bones. OneContinue reading “Book Review: The Bone Drenched”

Book Review: The Remarkable Retirement of Edna Fischer
Kiernan hoisted Edna onto the dragon’s back with a grunt, but it took several minutes to convince Benjamin to touch the beast at all. At last Edna said, “Benjamin, I love you, but if you don’t get on this dragon this minute, we’re leaving you behind.” When you’re a geriatric armed with nothing but gumptionContinue reading “Book Review: The Remarkable Retirement of Edna Fischer”
It’s Been Two Months since I Opened an Online Bookshop: and Here’s What I’ve Learned

Book Review: Natalie Tan’s Book of Luck and Fortune
Though this is what I could call a “comfort book” and I knew everything would work out in the end, I still felt very much compelled to read on and on. I laughed and I cried in equal measure.

But, one consolation, it’s not February. And we can all live in the knowledge that spring will eventually arrive, whether it wants to orContinue reading “What I’m Reading Right Now: March”
What I’m Reading Right Now: February
Hello, and welcome to February. It’s that lovely time of the year where we all feel relieved that January is FINALLY over, but still feel a vague sense of dread because winter is far from over and February is basically the Tuesday of the year; Monday’s crappy cousin. But don’t fret because there are alwaysContinue reading “What I’m Reading Right Now: February”
Book Review: Before Green Gables
In general, this is a nice book and I’m happy that Anne continues to be such an important character. But it certainly didn’t feel like Anne most of the time, which is a shame. Most of the time it felt like someone writing a very nice fan-fiction, but they didn’t actually know the books that well.
What I’m Reading Right Now: January
Hello and welcome to 2020! With the start of the new year, I wanted to dive right in with some bookish content and start a monthly post sharing what I’m reading. I’m notorious for reading multiple books at a time and after finishing a bunch of books before Christmas I went on a bit ofContinue reading “What I’m Reading Right Now: January”
