Book Review | The Life Impossible #thelifeimpossible
The Life Impossible jumped out at me as I idly looked through netgalley, and I thank the publisher for the chance to read it. It’s the third Matt Haig book I’ve read, and he’s written loads more! It’ll take me

When We Were Birds attracted me partly by its cover (on Netgalley, at any rate) and partly by its description. Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC, It’s publishing on 10th February. When We Were Birds by
Book Review | This Charming Man by C.K. McDonnell
This Charming Man is the second in the series which starts with The Stranger Times. I absolutely adored the first book, as you can tell from the review. So I welcomed the offer of a pre-release copy of the follow-up

Friday Flash Fiction – Ghostgum Creek
It’s a Subgenre Mash-up this week – my favourite! Chuck Wendig gave us a list of 20 genres, we throw a 20 sided die twice. I got 18 & 1 = Noir Haunted House! Sounds fun… and at least I
Book Review: Charmeine by Emily Guido
This isn’t my usual sort of book. It is a YA/Adult Fantasy story with powerfully written paranormal romance and action sequences. But it is well constructed, with a well-thought out backstory and world mythology, and it kept me interested. Charmeine
Vampires and other minorities
I hate to jump on the paranormal bandwagon but yes, there are vampires and werewolves in this world. The folklore of the realms is as full of the supernatural as the country I really live in. But like my real
