Amistad Books started a great initiative to elevate black voices in the publishing world with the hashtag #BlackoutBestsellerList. See their tweet below. https://twitter.com/AmistadBooks/status/1272151946082881538 You still have one day to participate and buy books by black authors. It doesn’t matter which books, or where from. Every sale is more support. We, as a community, can show Read More
Review: Killian’s Dead by Josie Jaffrey
Killian’s Dead is a short 60-page story released as a prelude to Josie Jaffrey’s new series, Seekers. Reviewing a short story is pretty hard especially when you don’t want to spoil too much. So I’m not going into the story too much. Killian’s Dead is a suspense story, and it’s doing it well. Instead of Read More
A WIP Update
This might be a first for me, a Work In Progress update where I talk about things going on and about the book I’m actively working on now without a reveal of any type. But I feel I need to talk about it. The Re-launch of Devil’s Deal I know the book hasn’t even been Read More
Diversity in Publishing
I’ve been wanting to write this post for a couple of weeks, after an incident on Reddit that baffled me. But now it seems more urgent to address this and what we, as blogger and readers can do to help black authors and other minority groups (people of colour and LGBTQ+) who want their books Read More
Book Bloggers’ Novel Of The Year Award – Round One
I already talked about being on the panel for the Book Bloggers’ Novel of the Year Award at the beginning of the year. The authors all signed up and the lovely people who are helping out the organisation made a list of all the entries. There were two I read before, one I have on Read More
Review: Dance of Shadows by Yelena Black
I picked it up at a huge book sale for just a few bucks. The cover spoke to me and the blurb on the back was good enough to convince me to try it. I don’t normally read suspense, thriller type of books, but I love dance and I was curious about the setting mostly. Read More
Why I Re-Read
Re-reading is another one of those topics I see pop-up on book Twitter regularly. Do you re-read? Should you re-read? Again, this is a personal choice, just like your preferred format, or to DNF or not to DNF. I re-read books, always have done and always will. But why do I read them again if Read More
Author Representation In Netflix Productions
Are you watching a lot of Netlfix? Because I am. And not just now, but before the lockdown as well. I don’t care much for regular tv, so when I want to chill out for a bit, I put on a series or a movie. No ads, perfect. I liked to be immersed in what Read More
Review: The Tea Master and the Detective by Aliette de Bodard
It’s probably no secret that I adore Aliette’s writing and with my love for tea, it’s not a difficult guess to figure out why I picked up The Tea Master and the Detective. I don’t read much science-fiction but Aliette can sell me anything. Like a female Sherlock Holmes with Watson’s role being played by Read More
On My Mind: Fanfiction And Getting Started
After I graduated and having written five thousand word papers regularly, there was a writing void. I knew I wanted to keep writing and preferably fiction. I played a lot of Guild Wars 2 at the time, a Mass Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. The world inspired me and a story brew in the back Read More
