#AudiobookReview: ARTEMIS by Andy Weir

At the start of this year, I listened to The Martian. It was incredible. I loved it for its geekiness, its humour, and its high stakes. So, as you can imagine, I was excited about Artemis. So much so that I preordered the audiobook. Especially after seeing that Rosario Dawson was the narrator. And you know what? I enjoyed it! It had the same infusion of science and personality, plus there were actual deaths this time. I also loved the little shoutouts to feats in The Martian, like the quip about using duct tape to securely seal things. Rosario was […]

Belated #CoverReveal + #Interview: SOCIETY OF WISHES by Elise Kova and Lynn Larsh

She’s done Young Adult and Adult, and now Elise Kova is taking on New Adult! Which, as you might have picked up, is a Thing for me. I did a whole month of NA features last year because I’m an advocate for the category. And you already know I’m Elise Kova’s biggest fan. Except!!! This time she’s teamed up with Lynn Larsh. I’m so curious to see how the pair’s work turns out… Anyway, the cover was technically released a week ago, but I have been either exhaustingly busy or booked up since then, and this was the first day […]

My 2018 Reading Challenges

I took a break from reading challenges in 2017 due to school, but my reading and blogging life are slowly getting back under control, so I think it’s time I set some goals for next year! My overall aim in 2018 is to Catch Up. Broken down, my goals are: To read books that others have hyped. To read at least 50 of the books on my bookshelves that I haven’t yet. (I have hundreds of unread books in my flat.) To push my Netgalley Feedback Ratio above 80%. Below are the challenges I’m tackling next year. It’ll be tough, […]

#BookReview: WHERE I FOUND YOU by Heidi R. Kling

In 2004, I was a resident of China, attending an American school. Like many of my teachers and classmates, I spent Christmas in South East Asia. (It was closer and therefore cheaper to go to a tropical destination than home to South Africa.) My family was lucky. We met up with my aunt, uncle, and cousins in Singapore, then headed down to an island off of El Nido, Philippines. On the 27th of December, we left, taking a boat, and then a rickety plane, and then another plane back to Singapore. It was only then that I discovered what had […]
