One of the few books where I managed not to kill a fairy (heh). This book has it all: teen angst, mysterious happenings, strong female voices, high stakes, and kissing. Lots and lots of kissing. #loveozya

Now that 2018 has arrived, the SFF community is gearing up for the 2017 awards season. To assist with the nominating process, I thought I'd share a list of works I've reviewed that are eligible.
Check out the list at http://earlgreyediting.com.au/2018/01/19/2017-awards-eligibility/
VALENTINE by Jodi McAlister is a fresh and intelligent take on YA urban fantasy. If you were loved Holly Black's TITHE, are a fan of the enemies-to-lovers trope or are keen to see an Australian spin on YA fantasy, this is the book for you.

2017 is now half over and I have met my initial annual reading goal of 100 books. I've decided to go ahead and set a new target. Without the Aurealis Awards to spur me on, my reading pace has slowed, so I think 200 books isn't realistic. However, 150 books should be achievable.

Was not overly keen on this one.

I found that this book was good, not great. For majority of it I was left sitting there yelling at the pages "WTF is happening!?" It was a confusing and jumbled set up for this book series , but still had enough to keep me interested and find out what happens. Evil fairies + murder + extremely hot guy = ?
3 ⭐️
Books and Butterbings are the perfect combination!

Chapter four, and it's still all "I'm so attracted to my bully, woe is me", and I'm getting right ticked off about this shithouse trope. Does it get better/ redeem itself soon?
The February book for #theyachronicles is Valentine by Jodi McAlister. It's a new Australian supernatural series and it involves people getting kidnapped if they were born on valentines day , how crazy does that sound ! Excited to pick it up #bookmail
Fresh voice in Australian YA paranormal romance. My longer review is here: https://trishtalkstexts.wordpress.com/2017/02/05/review-valentine-by-jodi-mcalis... Its snarky and full of pop cultural references, so of course it's funny. Released here on Jan 31. #penguinteenaus
