Audiobook Review: She of the Mountains by Vivek Shraya

‘She of the Mountains’ by Vivek Shraya is a unique, lyrical story. I enjoyed it but don’t feel that I was able to get as much out of it as others. I think with a bit of background reading, this is worth a re-read but for now it’s and enjoyable 3 stars from me!… Read More Audiobook Review: She of the Mountains by Vivek Shraya

Book Review: No Home in this World by Kevin Crowe

“No Home in this World” is a collection of thought-provoking short stories that looks injustices in the world from a number of angles. If you’re a fan of short stories, I’d recommend you give this a try. Read them slowly so you have enough time to truly take it all in. It’s 4 stars from me!… Read More Book Review: No Home in this World by Kevin Crowe

Book Review: The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

Contrary to popular opinion, I didn’t love “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” and the writing style was most responsible for this. I didn’t hate it, but I just didn’t feel it was for me – 2 stars.… Read More Book Review: The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

Book Review: The Night Watch by Sarah Waters

“The Night Watch” is the third Sarah Waters book I’ve read. I didn’t enjoy it as much as the previous two and didn’t feel such strong connections with these characters, but don’t let that put you off, Waters is an amazing writer I’d highly recommend.… Read More Book Review: The Night Watch by Sarah Waters

It's my stop on the blog tour for 'The Weekend Before the Wedding' by Tracy Bloom. 2nd August marks my stop on the blog tour for #TimeAfterTime by @louisepentland ✨ “Where the Crawdads Sing” by Delia Owens has been on my radar for a few years but for some reason I just never picked it up. When the film version was announced to be coming to the cinema, I knew that I needed to read the book before seeing it on the big screen! It's my stop on the blog tour for "The Woman on the Bridge" by Holly Seddon 🙌🏻 “Behind the Screen” by Israel Keats is quick read that I chose from the library in audiobook format. It’s a easy read, described as a mystery. I’m not sure it’s really fair to describe it that way, however, as there isn’t much mystery or suspense, this is really a story of a teenager’s use of social media and internet safety 📱💻🖥️⚠️ "Assembly" by Natasha Brown is a short snappy read that's received a huge amount of praise since release. The book tells the story of a black British woman from a working class background through her stream of consciousness. “It Could Never Happen Here” by Eithne Shortall is a fun, twisty mystery with some playground drama thrown in for good measure 💛 Nine strangers receive a list with their names on it in the mail. Nothing else, just a list of names on a single sheet of paper. None of the nine people know or have ever met the others on the list. They dismiss it as junk mail, a fluke – until very, very bad things begin happening to people on the list ✉️🧐 Today's review is for Paige Toon's 'Someone I Used to Know', my second read by this author 💕 I’ve finally started reading the Harry Potter books! ⚡ I’m about half way through at the moment and have taken a break to enjoy another of Pottermore’s library books. Having enjoyed “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” a few months ago, I thought I would like this one too. “The animal’s camera was installed behind its eyes, and sometimes it spun around on the three wheels hidden in its base, moving forward or backward. Someone was controlling the creature from somewhere else, and they didn’t know who it was.” “Books are what teach you about life. Books teach you empathy. But you can’t buy books if you barely got enough to make rent. So that library is a vital resource! You shut a library, Louisa, you don’t just shut down a building, you shut down hope.” ❤️ I've finally finished my review for 'The Skylight' by Louise Candlish. Have you read it?? Here we are with another Japanese book about a cat – it’s been a while! 🐱 “Coming Home to Maple Cottage” is the third and final in the Sandcastle Bay series by Holly Martin ❄️
