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

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.

Now, whilst there were some moments I felt that obvious things were being … Continue reading ‘Spider’s Truth’ by Christa Yelich-Koth

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
Happy Sunday, Readers! I have always been intrigued by Capote’s writing given his close relationship with the author of one of my favourite novels, Harper Lee, and I stumbled across this little gem somewhat by accident - incidentally, a novel Lee herself helped him to research. Let me just say: it is incredible. Technically, it … Continue reading ‘In Cold Blood’ by Truman Capote
