Emily has been writing since the age of six, but only recently developed the skill of finishing the projects that she starts (and even then, only sometimes). She is currently studying for a Masters in Museum and Heritage Studies and works as a reference librarian. In her spare time she can be found watching Doctor Who or curled up on the couch with a hot chocolate and a good book.

Please note that as of 2025, I use StoryGraph as my main book tracker, though I do post ARC reviews here and I'll be hanging around making sure my own book info is correct.

The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett

"I suspect that I am going to be a killjoy here, but this book was so very much not for me.

The Darkness Bites Back by Laura R. Samotin

Review originally posted on A Keyboard and an Open Mind 6 June 2026:

Oooh, now this one was a slow burn. Almost to the point of my giving up on it at a couple of points, but I'm glad I stuck with it because I enjoyed the pay-off.

It's 1927 and Thea an

“You know, it's hard work to write a book. I can't tell you how many times I really get going on an idea, then my quill breaks. Or I spill ink all over my writing tunic.”
Ellen DeGeneres, The Funny Thing Is...

Douglas Adams
“The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy also mentions alcohol. It says that the best drink in existence is the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, the effect of which is like having your brains smashed out with a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick.”
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Douglas Adams
“Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.”
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

“Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.”
