I’ve been seeing this author’s videos on TikTok quite a lot lately, so I was excited to get a hold of this one, along with a few other indie books I’ve seen on the site. I thought the cover was beautiful and as I was having my own book cover designed around the time IContinue reading “Book Review: An Heir Comes To Rise by C. C Penaranda”

Book Review: The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L. Jensen
This was probably one of my favourite books of this year, although it was a little slow to get through at times. It has some wonderful world-building, a badass heroine with dark intentions, the enemies to lovers trope clearly woven through the story, and well thought out characters. The world-building is unique, with a KingdomContinue reading “Book Review: The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L. Jensen”
2022 Writing & Publishing Goals
So I have some very exciting writing plans coming in 2022, starting with publishing my first book, Steel Princess, a YA fantasy novel with both futuristic and fairytale elements about a teenage android who discovers she’s from the Steel City of Elysia, a Queendom ruled by a cruel android Queen. This book has been nineContinue reading “2022 Writing & Publishing Goals”
Book Review: Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige
This book was an interesting take on the original tale. If you loved the movie, you’ll probably be interested to read about Dorothy becoming the villain, and the protagonist a young girl from Kansas who ends up walking the yellow brick road to kill the villain, who has made herself a Princess and turned againstContinue reading “Book Review: Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige”
How I Manage My Time As A Freelance Book Editor, Soon-To-Be Indie Author & Arcade Assistant
That title was a mouthful, wasn’t it? Well, my week is just as insane sometimes, you could say. It’s felt more that way, too, since I moved in with my boyfriend two months ago. Well, the idea of having my own place and living on my own must have triggered the part of my brainContinue reading “How I Manage My Time As A Freelance Book Editor, Soon-To-Be Indie Author & Arcade Assistant”
Book Review: Ocean Heart by Ally Aldridge
You might have to call me biased for this review, but honestly, I don’t care! I’ve known this author for a few years now, as we met online through Instagram, but actually met at a YALC convention at London Olympia a couple of years ago. We both love YA books and were both planning onContinue reading “Book Review: Ocean Heart by Ally Aldridge”
Happy Birthday Hooked On Words Editorial!
How time flies! I still remember when I first decided to create my little editing business two years ago. I’d been working for a charity in London as the Head of Literature, organising the charity’s book blog, writing book reviews and much more, running a book tour and organising workshops, as well as trying toContinue reading “Happy Birthday Hooked On Words Editorial!”
Book Review: A Trial of Sorcerers by Elise Kova
I’ve been reading more indie books lately, mostly through watching a lot of authors talking about their books on BookTok, but I wasn’t even aware Elise Kova was an indie author at first. I first read her novel, A Deal With The Elf King, which I thoroughly enjoyed and will probably review on here atContinue reading “Book Review: A Trial of Sorcerers by Elise Kova”
The World Of Disney & Its Influence On My Writing
Where did I get the inspiration for writing this blog post? That would probably be the fact I’m sitting here right now, watching Tangled on Disney +. I love this film! As a kid, did you and your siblings ever have that one film you’d watch on repeat? Well, Tangled was that film for us.Continue reading “The World Of Disney & Its Influence On My Writing”
Book Review: The Marionettes by Katie Wismer
Isn’t that cover gorgeous? I’ve been reading a lot of books by indie authors recently, but I thought I’d let myself get sucked into this book, since the author is going to be editing my first novel in January, and I wasn’t disappointed. If you’re a fan of Sabrina’s Chilling Adventures on Netflix, you’ll probablyContinue reading “Book Review: The Marionettes by Katie Wismer”
