Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik (BOOK REVIEW) || Can I make money like this?

I must admit, it is a very unlikely retelling of Rumpelstiltskin. But it is a very well-written one. It took what could’ve been a simple retelling and elevated it into something much more intricate and wonderful. Come read all my thoughts about this book! Continue reading

BLOG TOUR: These Fleeting Shadows by Kate Alice Marshall (BOOK REVIEW) || Not a Happy Family!

Listen, as much as I like a good, old horror story, especially if there’s a big house in it – I would turn down an invitation to Harrow House 😂. But Helen Vaughan definitely doesn’t as she has to spend a whole year at her very creepy family home. Come read my review of how… Continue reading

I do this great trick where I buy books 😂 My parents and I recently went to Nieu-Bethesda in the Eastern Cape last week and I got three new books! Plus an enamel pin! There were so many cool ones but I went with the black cat for my black cat 🥰
