Today is the UK release day for Victoria Schwab’s latest YA novel, Gallant, and I’m excited to be sharing my review of this haunting, lyrical novel. Synopsis Olivia Prior has grown up in Merilance School for girls, and all she has of her past is her mother’s journal—which seems to unravel into madness. Then, a… Continue reading Book review: Gallant by V. E. Schwab

In 2020, I somehow managed to read more books than any other year. Ever. So when it came down to choosing the best of the best, I had a bit of a task on my hands. How do you narrow down 120 books to 10 or 15 favourites? With difficulty, apparently. But after some musing… Continue reading 18 of the Best Books I Read in 2020

October 2020 TBR // Not-so-spooky reads

Reading The Archived for the first time

Before July 2020, I’d never read The Archived before. (I know.) It’s Victoria Schwab’s second novel and one of the last few I need to read before I’ve read all of her publised works. So, when Alison and I planned Schwab Readalong, we decided to make it the first book we read. The main reason… Continue reading Reading The Archived for the first time
