2020 is going to be my year. I just know it. I can feel it. Or so I’m going to tell myself, I have a lot I want to achieve and let’s face it I’m not getting any younger so the time is now. I have a lot of books that I want to read…
So December was supposed to be my catch up month where I ended up getting ahead of the game and started the New Year with no outstanding e-ARCs and I would have returned all my books to the library. I tried my best but I think I underestimated how much of a spanner Christmas would…
The Agatha Raisin books are all books that have been raved about by everyone that ends up borrowing them from the library. I have been trying to broaden my reading horizons for when YA has started to leave me a little wanting. I thought that I couldn’t really go wrong, the book was a short…
The Amber Spyglass is the last book in His Dark Materials and I have to say I am glad to see the end of it if I’m being honest. I think I fell out of love with the series shortly after the first book and this was the final nail in the coffin. The problem…
This was one of the many e-arcs that was on my list to get through in December and I have to say this one surprised me. When I started reading CTRL+S the comparisons to Ready Player One started playing through my mind and I think that tainted my experience a little because this one didn’t…

I was re-reading His Dark Materials because I’m watching the BBC adaptation of it and I have to say I am more than impressed with the adaptation that is The Subtle Knife not so much. I feel like after the drama of the first book this was a little bit of a letdown, I don’t…
I have definitely been on a children’s fiction kick the last couple of weeks and The Explorer was one of my favourites. It had a wonderful set of characters that kept you entertained all the way through, they were all interesting and considering there was only 5 people in this book from start to finish…
I read The Taking of Annie Thorne with a friend, I had heard great things about it and I thought that it would be one that we would both enjoy, however, it fell more than a little short of expectations. I think the biggest problem with this book was that it started off in one…
Anne of Green Gables has been on my list to read for a really long time and I never got around to reading it. But since I read Little Women I thought that now might be the right time to read more classic children’s stories and I was right. I loved this one, I loved…
