Welcome to Archaeolibrarian, Stories Worth Unearthing.

We're so glad you're here. This is our little corner of the internet where a lifelong love of reading gets to run wild through honest reviews, blog tours and the occasional bookish rabbit hole. We dig through every kind of story, from quiet historical fiction to sweeping fantasy, to bring the good ones up into the light.

We truly believe there's a perfect book out there for every reader, and we'd love to help you find yours. New content goes up regularly, so do pop back often to see what we've been reading lately.

We also have a store over on Bookshop.org, and it's one of our favourite things about running this blog. Every book we've reviewed or featured on tour lives there (whenever it's available on the site), so you can go straight from reading about a book to actually getting your hands on it — while supporting your favourite local independent bookstore at the same time. It really is a win all round!

Excerpt: Feral Hearts (Hearts on Fire #1) by A.J. Church

I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, but I’ve never let that stand in the way of my two favorite past times–breaking hearts and disappointing my family. An ardent fan of the smooth line and shallow hookup, I excel at keeping things gliding on the surface. Feelings, when I have them, are reserved for the few I call friends. Until the night I walk into Club Eros and come face to face with Cutter Knight. Tall, dark, and mouthwateringly handsome, he’s also an uptight prick
