Series Review: The Dark Profit Saga – Zachary J. Pike
I believe I can thank booktube for this recommendation. The absurdity of the title and my current obsession with most things considered cosy fantasy and litrpg, made this one for the TBR list. Also being a Terry Pratchett fan, any form of comic-fantasy is something I find myself naturally gravitating to. Book 1 - Orconomics …

Book Review: The Secret Detective Agency – Helena Dixon
Note: This copy of The Secret Detective Agency was provided by NetGalley. The Secret Detective Agency scratches that cosy mystery itch that fans of Miss Marple and the Thursday Murder club will enjoy.

Book Review: A Harvest of Hearts – Andrea Eames
Note: This copy of A Harvest of Hearts was provided by NetGalley. When the blurb of a book mentions a cosy fantasy for fans of Howl's Moving Castle and The House in the Cerulean Sea, it's a no-brainer that the book would be a good read. Sadly, this did not seem to be the case …

Short Story Review: Trap Line – Timothy Zahn
Note: I received an ARC of Trap Line from NetGalley. Trap Line is a sci-fi short story that I wish spawns a full length novel in the future. Timothy Zahn, the author who gave us books about the infamous Thrawn in the Star Wars universe, comes at us with a very different but interesting short …

Book Review: You’d Look Better as a Ghost – Joanna Wallace
I’m still a little confused which genre bin to add this book to. Is it a thriller? Is it humour? Is it a mystery? It’s safe to say this book had me hooked. Joanna Wallace gives us a very unique character who is very reminiscent of Villanelle from Killing Eve but without any of the …

Book Review: Bullet Train – Kōtarō Isaka
TL;DR - Fast, funny, and action packed. A one-time read that is quite entertaining. Another from my ever-growing list of books picked up because a movie trailer brought it to my attention, Bullet Train has been languishing on my shelf for quite a while. In fact I had only recently just started Kōtarō Isaka's 3 …
Series Review: Solo Leveling – Chugong
Left: Solo Leveling Light Novel, Right: Solo Leveling manhwa Vol.1 TL;DR - Clichéd story with mediocre writing further hamstrung by an over-powered MC. You'd be better off watching the anime. I started this writing this review well over a year ago, and in the interim my feelings towards this series hasn't changed much. Solo Leveling …
