Julia I might have mentioned once that I love reading books that take place in the region I am visiting (when travelling), and as it would happen, I had the perfect occasion to do so today. I am currently on a little trip to York, a very lovely city in the middle of England, and…

Ayesha I’m currently reading two ARCs at the moment. Artificial Wisdom by Thomas S. Weaver – I’d characterize as “The Jetsons” meets “Black Mirror”. Hopefully that gives you enough context of this read. Funny story of how I got this proof. The couple next to me at the Capital Crime Festival in London actually had…

Ayesha I am back from my trip from England (yes, I did another one hehe) and I will be locking in to read my NetGalley ARCs and physical proofs! Yesterday, I finished A God of Moonlight and Stardust by Mina Brower during my flight back. Julia’s posted a bit on our socials about this read…

Now, I love an airport bookstore: WH Smith, Hudsons etc.…

Ayesha So, I’m still reading Paladin’s Grace…oops. I’ve honestly been in a bit of a slump with the book. I’m now over half way through and it’s certainly picked up (we’ve encountered a string of serial killer deaths) so we’ve got the intrigue. I’m really hoping I can finish this before I fly back to…

Julia I am currently reading one of the most unique and beautifully created literary magazinesI have come across, maybe ever. And that isn’t to eclipse any of the great lit. journals and magazines I have read in the past, but I am simply in awe of this one. The magazine is called ‘Debris’ and I…

Ayesha I’m in the middle of reading a couple different books. Let’s start in order – I bought Paladin’s Grace by T. Kingfisher while I was in England. I honestly was pulled in by the old-timey cover, and then the positive Goodreads rating. It’s a cozy fantasy centering around a perfumer and a paladin who…
