So, tis been a while. Nearly three months in fact. Skipping out on my blog I’ve had for nearly 5 years was never a plan I had. I’ve toyed with the idea of deleting it altogether at times but a break of months wasn’t ever planned. This post has very little to do with books…
Review: The Faithless by C.L Clark
***Content warnings for mentions of war, genocide, starvation and slavery as well as racism, homophobia, torture and discussions of death of a child and parent*** My favourite book of 2021 was The Unbroken. The review I wrote is still one of my favourite I have done to date. The characters have never left my mind…
Review: Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett
Welcome back to the Discworld Project! So it has been a while since we checked in with my precious faves Death and Susan. Christmas 2022 actually!

April&May Wrap Up (And Where I’ve been)
Soooo it’s been a while! How are you all doing? I’m certainly doing good. I took a bit of a step back from the online world in the last couple of months. Between work and life just being busy, I’ve recently made the decision to take a lot of my life offline. I’ve been chronically…

Review: The Magician’s Daughter by H.G Parry
One of my favourite films in more recent years has been Howl’s Moving Castle. I have read and loved the book also, Diana Wynne Jones is a genius for a reason. But there is something in the Ghibli movie that resonates in my heart. When I tell you this book gave me that same feeling,…
Review: Soulstar by C.L Polk
***Content warning for captivity in asylums, forced pregnancy, racism, coercion, medical experimentation, torture, political assassination, death, mentions of genocide and loss of family.*** Mild spoilers possible for the previous two books in the series. Another goal of mine this reading year was to finish some selected trilogies. The fantastic Kingston Cycle was one of those…
March Wrap Up
So March is gone and done. And it was a busy one! In my life at least. In one month I had my return to conventions for the first time since 2019. A family reunion happened. A second trip to Dublin to see a play for the first time since 2018. Such a busy month!…

Recent Manga Reads
So I really love manga. I’ve been reading and collecting a lot of it recently. It’s not my first time investing my time in manga. I have previously owned and read a lot of Sailor Moon, Princess Jellyfish and Cardcaptor Sakura. All of which I unhauled or had to get rid of due to mildew…
