I took a slight break from blogging to rest, recharge and read some cracking reads over the holiday period, but I'm back today to wrap up my December and share my excellent haul from very lovely people and publishers.

Review: Catch Your Death
Last week, Catch Your Death by Ravena Guron hit shelves with a bang. My expectations were set sky-high after loving This Book Kills, but Guron smashed them. This is a scintillating, scheming marvel of a book

December 2023 TBR
Today I’m setting out my TBR for December and it's a real mix of genres and styles! With the holiday period approaching, I'm looking forward to losing myself in a good book or two and these upcoming 2024 releases have my high expectations behind them. From fantasies to mysteries with a sprinkle of literary and Gothic fiction, I am very excited to see how these pan out.
November 2023 Wrap Up and Haul
Today, I'm wrapping up my November, which was another very busy month for me, travelling up and down the country! I was lucky enough to go to YALC and came back with a massive haul, as well as being gifted/sent some other fantastic books.
Review: Only She Came Back
I was sold right from the synopsis of Only She Came Back by Margot Harrison, with the mix of atmosphere, setting and exploration of survivalist culture & true crime. How did the full book live up to those expectations?
Review: Good Girls Don’t Die
Christina Henry never fails to deliver some incredible concepts and astounding work that builds on these ideas and elevates them to new levels. Good Girls Don't Die had an unforgettable concept, but did its execution live up to my expectations?
Mini Review Monday #129
It's time for my final Mini Review Monday of November! Today, I'm delving into two excellent mysteries coming out in January 2024: The Dinner Party by Rebecca Heath and The Mystery Guest by Nita Prose.
