Happy Thursday/almost weekend, Readers! Having been one of the mass number of people engrossed in last year’s TV series based on this tragic Chernobyl disaster, I was eager to know more. On that front, this book did not disappoint! However, it was no easy read. I started reading this last August on holiday and quickly … Continue reading ‘Chernobyl’ by Serhii Plokhy
Good evening, lovely Readers, I hope you’re feeling suitably chilled this Sunday evening and ready for battle tomorrow (otherwise known as the first full working week after Christmas)! This weekend I finished ‘So Lucky’ by Dawn O’Porter. Wow. Just wow. Initially, the structure of this novel reminded me a lot of O’Porter’s other novel ‘The … Continue reading ‘So Lucky’ by Dawn O’Porter
Merry Christmas, readers, At this most wonderful time of year, I like to indulge in a Christmas romance to warm the cockles. My Christmas read doesn't have to be a classic, I don't mind if it's a bit cheesy and I LOVE excessive amounts of snow! This little love story is exactly what I was … Continue reading ‘Christmas at Frozen Falls’ by Kiley Dunbar
Good evening, my lovely readers, Boy, do I have a treat to recommend to you this evening. The Keeper of Lost Things was an absolute dream-book! I could probably blog for days about how much I adored this story, but that would stop you from getting on with reading it! So here are just a … Continue reading ‘The Keeper of Lost Things’ by Ruth Hogan
Happy Sunday, readers I've spent my Sunday creating Halloween nails and reviewing Margaret Atwood's latest masterpiece and I can honestly say this novel is a true testament to girl power. Reading The Testaments, I have to admit I was sceptical; surely it couldn’t even compare to the wonder that is The Handmaid’s Tale. Well, whilst … Continue reading ‘The Testaments’ by Margaret Atwood
Good afternoon, readers! Firstly, let me apologise for the lengthy gap since my last review; I have been fortunate enough to be travelling around some beautiful European spots. Fear not, though; this review is a recommendation for one of the greatest books you'll read this year! Celeste Ng's "Little Fires Everywhere" is an absolute gem. … Continue reading ‘Little Fires Everywhere’ by Celeste Ng
Happy Humpday, Readers! Contrary to popular order, this is the first of John Green's novels I've ever read, but I doubt it'll be the last. One of the first of many wonderful things I appreciated within this book was the absolute realism with which the teenagers interact. It wasn't too simple, or too contrived, just … Continue reading ‘Paper Towns’ by John Green
I knew this novel would be a tale of epic proportions when I was presented with a Bruce Springsteen lyric and a list of over forty characters to keep track of. And I was not disappointed! Set in a Japanese dystopia in which students are chosen at random to fight to the death (Hunger Games, … Continue reading ‘Battle Royale’ by Koushun Takami
Happy Monday, Readers! Today I'm reviewing a great little thriller I recently finished: 'Spider's Truth' by Christa Yelich-Koth. This novel was intriguing, humorous and even romantic; what more could a reader ask for? Characters you feel invested in? It’s got them too! Now, whilst there were some moments I felt that obvious things were being … Continue reading ‘Spider’s Truth’ by Christa Yelich-Koth
I first read this book because I had to, and I always think reading under duress can leave a somewhat sour taste so I tried not to judge it too harshly! I have since read it a couple more times and, although I did warm to the story and characters, I still failed to love … Continue reading ‘Never Let Me Go’ by Kazuo Ishiguro
