Book Review: Every Time He Dies by Tara East

October 15, 2019February 10, 20205 Comments

'Every Time He Dies' by Tara East is a very well written, fast paced story of gang crime in Brisbane. I was hooked from page one and really enjoyed exploring the mystery behind a number of murders. I'd definitely recommend this one, it's 5 stars from me!

Book Review: The Memory Police by Yōko Ogawa

August 26, 2019February 10, 202016 Comments

My fifth Yōko Ogawa read is one of my favourites and I can't wait for more of her work to be translated. I really enjoyed "The Memory Police" and its unique look at how memories are an important part of our identity - 5 stars.

Book Review: The Housekeeper and the Professor by Yōko Ogawa

April 29, 2019August 26, 20194 Comments

"The Housekeeper and The Professor" is a quaint story of how kindness and compassion bring people together. This wasn't my favourite Yōko Ogawa book, but I still enjoyed it - 3 stars.

Book Review: A Long Goodbye by Anthony Le Moignan

June 14, 2018June 19, 20192 Comments

It's clear that this book has been written from the heart. Recommended for lovers of contemporary romance, it's 4 stars for "A Long Goodbye" and I wish Anthony Le Moignan all the best with this and future novels.

Book Review: The One Memory of Flora Banks by Emily Barr

August 11, 2017June 19, 2019Leave a comment

A charming little YA book about a girl with amnesia trying to explore the world and find her man. Despite its flaws, the disjointed style of  "The One Memory of Flora Banks" makes a heartwarming read which I'm scoring 3 stars.

Book Review: Elizabeth is Missing by Emma Healey

January 7, 2017June 19, 20192 Comments

Highly recommended, I really enjoyed this quick read. Providing a detailed and vivid insight into the mind of an elderly woman with dementia was both interesting and amusing at points which leads me to rate this book 4 stars.

Happy Friday! ☀️
The fiction book of the month for the @londonliteraries was 'The Midnight Library' by Matt Haig 🌙
This month's @londonliteraries non-fiction book was 'Give and Take' by Adam Grant, a book which aims to highlight what effective networking, collaboration, influence, negotiation and leadership skills have in common 💼💸😃
My third Shari Lapena read, “A Stranger in the House”, follows married couple Karen and Tom Krupp. Karen and Tom lead a picture perfect life, living in a enviable home in upstate New York. Then, in the opening pages of this book, Karen has an accident. She’s crashed her car into a pole in a less desirable part of the city. Tom can’t understand why his wife would have left their home without her phone and handbag, and he certainly doesn’t know what she was doing driving around the worst part of town. With a case of amnesia, Karen can’t remember anything either!
It’s been a while since I’ve read any of the Penguin Modern Series, so I decided to pick one up again. I chose ‘Fame’ by Andy Warhol, a book split into three sections, giving his insight on Love, Beauty, and Fame, especially the irony and hypocrisy of these themes. The book is entitled ‘Fame’, but I think that the most powerful piece in this book was on Love, and I’d say that was my favourite and most relatable of the three.
It's my stop on the blog tour for 'The Last Snow' by Stina Jackson and translated into English by Susan Beard 🌨
If you could go anywhere, where would you go? 🌍 I don't know about you but I'd be happy to go absolutely anywhere at this point!!
'The Move' by Felicity Everett is a neighbourhood story following the lives of Karen and Nick, a couple who have recently move to a scenic English village in an attempt to escape the hustle and bustle of London. Karen and Nick have had a difficult few years and they’re hoping that this move will be a fresh start for them both.
I've finally read a Murakami book! 🇯🇵 I decided to start with the most famous, 'Norwegian Wood', originally published back in 1987.
Today I'm sharing my review of 'Such a Fun Age' by Kiley Read 💕
What are you reading today? ☀️
'Hard Pushed' is a really enjoyable medical memoir. Following midwife Leah Hazard on her journey to become an experienced midwife. Full of interesting stories and anecdotes, this was a great 4 stars for me!
‘Ignatius’ by @danwoodbooks is really exciting page turner that I'm happy to be recommending to you all today! 🕵🏻‍♂️
I'm really pleased to be opening the blog tour for 'Crocodile Tears' by Mercedes Rosende 🐊
2020 was certainly an... interesting year! In this book, 'Life in Pieces', author and journalist Dawn O'Porter candidly reflects on her year so far, detailing all of her highs and lows of the first coronavirus lockdown.
