“Reaching Down the Rabbit Hole” is written by Dr Allan Ropper, a clinical neurologist and a professor of neurology in the US. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Did I know anything about neurology before starting this book? Nope! But it didn’t really matter as the topic is made very accessible and could, for the most part, be understood by someone with no medical knowledge. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My rating: 🌟 🌟 🌟 /5 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Find out what I made of this book in my latest book review by heading over to my blog (link in my bio) 📚 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #reachingdowntherabbithole #bookreview #nonfiction #neurology #medical #bookstagram #amreading #goodreads #2020reads #2018bookchallenge #whatiread #commuterreads #primereading #bookblogger

This morning I'm sharing my review for 'A Stranger on the Beach' by Michele Campbell 🏖 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Caroline Stark has just finished putting her own personal touch on her brand new beach house when she sees a guy standing on the beach, staring at her house. After some (rather public) marital drama, she spots the same guy working in the local bar and gets talking. One thing leads to another and Caroline finds herself with a besotted stalker called Aidan. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My rating: 🌟 🌟 🌟 /5 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If this sounds like your kind of thing, head over to my blog to read my full review 📚 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you to @readersfirst for sending me a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #astrangeronthebeach #michelecampbellbooks #bookreview #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #booklovers #bookaddict #bookshelf #reading #amreading #goodreads #2019reads #2019bookchallenge #igreads #bookblogger #whatiread

This evening I'm sharing my review for 'Record of a Night Too Brief' by Hiromi Kawakami 🇯🇵 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is a collection of quirky stories that I have mixed feelings about. Some of them were so odd I wonder if I missed a proverbial meaning! 🙈🙈 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My rating: 🌟 🌟 /5 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My full review is up on my blog, head there using the link in my bio 📚 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #recordofanighttoobrief #shortstories #hiromikawakami #fiction #japaneseliterature #japan #bookreview #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #booklovers #goodreads #2019reads #2019bookchallenge #igreads #bookblogger #whatiread

I've just finished reading an advanced readers copy of 'Setting the World on Fire' by @magsies 🔥🔥🔥 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This book is currently in draft form, and Maggie kindly asked if I'd give it a read before the final tweaks are made. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In this book, we watch heiress Rebecca DeMeyer find her place in the world, and uncover the ugly truth of reality too. This is a unique coming of age story that I think will be a great YA read once published 👍🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A little more detail is in my latest blog post, head there using the link in my bio! 📚 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @settingtheworldonfirebook #settingtheworldonfire #arc #advancedreaderscopy #youngadultbooks #yafiction #bookreview #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #booklovers #goodreads #2019reads #2019bookchallenge #igreads #bookblogger

Today's book review is for 'Devastation Road' by Joanna Baker 🔥 🔥 🔥 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My rating: 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 /5 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Joanna kindly sent me a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the opening pages of this book, teenager Matt Tingle finds himself caught in a fire started deliberately, leaving the reader with a lot of questions straight away (who, what, where, when, how?). Matt and his friend Chess later find local woman drowned in a pond and a local girl called Jeanette was killed a few years ago too. Why are all of these terrible things happening in the small town of Yackandandah, Victoria? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My full review is up on my blog now, head there using the link in my bio 📚 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #devastationroad #beechworthtrilogy #joannabaker #bookreview #reading #amreading #goodreads #2019reads #2019bookchallenge #igreads #bookblogger #whatiread #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #booklovers #booksbooksbooks

Tonight's book review is for Lana Grace Riva's 'The Existence of Amy' 📚 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My rating: 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 /5 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Amy has a normal life. That is, if you were to go by a definition of 'no immediate obvious indicators of peculiarity', and you didn't know her very well. She has good friends, a good job, a nice enough home. This normality, however, is precariously plastered on top of a different life. A life that is Amy's real life. The only one her brain will let her lead 💙💚💛💜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you'd like to learn more about this book, read my full review on my blog (link in my bio) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #theexistenceofamy #lanagraceriva #mentalhealth #ocd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #fiction #bookreview #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #booklovers #goodreads #2019reads #2019bookchallenge #igreads #bookblogger

Today's book review is for 'Haven't They Grown' by Sophie Hannah 📚 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Beth hasn't seen her best friend Flora in 12 years. One day Beth pulls up outside of Flora's house and sees that her children haven't aged a day. They still look 3 and 5, as she knew them 12 years ago. Why?! How?! 🤔 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is a really unique story which kept me guessing right up to the end. The book will be published in January and I really recommend adding it to your TBR! 👍🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My rating: 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 /5 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you to @readersfirst for sending me a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #haventtheygrown #sophiehannah #arc #advancedreaderscopy #readersfirst #fiction #bookreview #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #commuterreads #amreading #goodreads #2019reads #2019bookchallenge #igreads #bookblogger
