Ayesha I just finished a beta read of a fantasy book and I’m going to hold off on sharing the title and the author’s name while it’s still in the works. Before I talk about the book, let me share a bit about what it is to be a beta reader. A beta reader is…

Julia In preparation for our latest podcast recording with a guest author (to be released next Wednesday!), I have been reading ‘A Line in the Sand’ by Miles Spencer and Wells Jones. The book takes a historical fiction twist on the real life events of the authors, who have journeyed across the Middle East in…

Julia As I mentioned last week, I’m in the middle of reading a rather hefty fantasy novel in French (which, if i haven’t already mentioned, I’m still perfecting my mastery of), so it’s slow going over here! Plus, I’ve been on holiday, and while there was reading by the pool being done, there were a…

Ayesha I’m back to reading two books simultaneously – “The Wilderness” by Samantha Harvey and “How to Be Dateable: The Essential Guide to Finding Your Person and Falling in Love” by Julie Krafchick and Yue Xu.

Julia I have just come back from a short trip to Cartagena, Colombia! I didn’t get to do too much reading whilst there since it was an event packed wedding weekend, but I definitely got some reading in during the 13 hour flight (and that’s just one way, mind you)! For the trip, I bought…

Ayesha I just finished “Louie On The Rocks” by Meredith O’Brien as part of the Booksparks Winter Reading Challenge. It’s a political story and I live in DC so it was a no-brainer to read. Synopsis: Set against a backdrop of bitterly partisan Facebook feuds and a Trump flag set aflame in a driveway, “Louie…

Ayesha I recently finished the highly anticipated “Onyx Storm” and must admit that it was not a top read. The unfortunate bit – I’ve fallen into a bit of a vibe slump. So rather than picking up another fantasy read to quench my need for an immersive and strong fantasy world, I’ve decided to read…
