I adore historical fiction but it’s such a vast genre that it can be a bit of a minefield to try and navigate through and I struggled to find my groove – working out what you like is a huge part of this process. I love WWII and Russian history so books which contain something…
This is a review of the second book in a series – read the first review here. Glass Sword is even better than the first and that’s saying something. Mare really comes into her own in this book and becomes less reliant on those around her. She made for a better character which meant the…
Red Queen is a startlingly beginning to a brand new series by Victoria Aveyard. This was a reread for me and I loved this book as much as I did the first time. It is the perfect dystopian novel in the sense that it plays into all the tropes, the young girl who rises from…
I adore this book, I don’t have the words to describe how much the characters spoke to me and how I fell in love with the writing. This is one of the most beautifully written books I have ever read, I just can’t describe how well the setting was described and how the characters spoke…

Welcome to A Series of Unfortunate Events : Mini Reviews Part Two. I have managed to read another three of the series, so here is another three mini reviews. Once again, these were books that I enjoyed and have things to say but not enough for an entire review. If you haven’t read the first…
This year I set myself the challenge of reading at least 25 of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series. The Colour of Magic is the first. I love these books, I love the magic system, the way it mixes modern issues into an older time frame. It takes the plot on an interesting journey, especially in this…
