Quitting self-hosted blogging
I’ve been thinking about this for a really long time. My Early Blogging Journey I started reviewing books in 2010 because I didn’t really have anyone else to talk to about the books I was reading. In 2012 I launched my book blog, The Moonlight Library, and I really enjoyed all aspects of my original […]
How Goodreads and Blogging Transformed Me As A Reader
Reflecting on my journey as a reader and blogger, I often wonder how different things would be without the incredible community and resources provided by Goodreads. It’s fascinating to consider how my reading habits have evolved and how much I owe to both blogging and Goodreads for the diverse range of books I’ve encountered. Without […]
Authors Don’t Owe You Everything
Ever found yourself asking why the dragons in a fantasy novel are all blue, or how a sci-fi society manages their interstellar postal service? It’s totally natural to have those burning questions, but let’s talk about why not every nook and cranny of a world needs to be explained for the story to shine. Worldbuilding […]
The Ivies by Alexa Donne
I quite enjoyed The Ivies by Alexa Donne. Donne debuted as a sci-fi romance author, but it appears she has pivoted and found a niche in YA thrillers, and I for one applaud that. I love it when an author who has found moderate success in one genre pivots into another and it takes off. […]

Gone Too Far was published in 2015 but it feels like it could have come out recently. I also want to mention that YA thrillers are one of my favourite genres […]
League of Liars by Astrid Scholte
League of Liars is not what I was expecting, but I still really enjoyed it. I thought the book was very well plotted, with distinct and well-rounded characters. I really enjoyed the chaos of the magic system and I thought it was more of an original take than what we usually get in YA fantasy: […]
ARC Review: A Five-Letter Word For Love by Amy James
I have been charmed by a romance book based on Wordle. Do y’all remember the word game that took over the internet during the pandemic? That’s what this book is based on: a young woman named Emily, adrift in life, unfocused but convinced she’s destined for greatness, and her love for Wordle. I don’t like […]
I’ve stopped buying finished copies… mostly
The literary urge to buy a finished copy of every book we fall in love with after reading an ARC, audiobook, or eBook… Also known as ‘shelf trophies’. I used to feel like I was letting down my favourite authors if I didn’t add their books to my physical shelf, but I’ve come to realise […]
