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.

Emily’s Recent Updates

Emily Wrayburn and 19 other people liked Alissa's review of Ghosted:
Ghosted by Amy Hutton
"Well this was disappointing. Honestly the premise sounded great: ghost whisperer teams up with paranormal podcaster to investigate and clear a famous haunted house. Only the family that hired them are acting suspicious and things aren’t going to plan" Read more of this review »
The Disasters by M.K. England
"I was intrigued by the initial plot and world building that's gone into the story. The dialogue really lets this book down, though. Excessive attempts at humour with the jokes rarely landing made this very hard to get through."
Emily Wrayburn and 123 other people liked Emily May's review of Ravenous:
Ravenous by Mark D. Freeman
"
"This land has the oldest of bones. Been here so long, even the stones have forgotten how long. It's seen glaciers come and go. Man will do the same. The tundra, the ice, and the bears will outlast us all."


Confession: I love animal horror.

This book had huge amounts of potential. It reminded me of the campy sci-fi/fantasy shows I used to love on Syfy, like Warehouse 13 and Eureka. Unfortunately, it suffered from

Elle
Elle is on page 182 of 336 of The Entanglement of Rival Wizards: I was only going to read 2 or 3 ch's before bed, next thing I'm past the 50% mark. Honestly loving this so much. It's so D&D, it's so Shadowgast. It's trauma and academia and politics/anti-war and friendship/brotherhood and toxic families, but there's also perfect little gems of humour keeping it from getting too heavy. If I could only say 1 thing to make D&D fans read this: it starts with a door joke/challenge.

“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.”

“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.”
