Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore was completely different to what I was expecting and not altogether in a good way either. I usually love a good book about a bookstore and quirky readers and a quest but for me this just felt a little bland and it felt hard going in some places and I found…
This was a book that had been on my TBR for what seemed like forever and I thought now was the perfect time to get it read Fahrenheit 451. I do think this one is one that I’m going to have to reread I think to get the most of the story and really get…
I added this one on to my TBR a while ago and I thought it would be something I would really enjoy but actually Keep You Safe made me INCREDIBLY angry and I am so disappointed that I ever picked it up. I did think at one point that this book was going to do…
Far From Perfect is actually a reread for me, purely because I didn’t realise that there were other books in the series. I knew that the last time I read this book I wasn’t massively impressed with the writing but it’s a complete guilty pleasure read. That opinion has not changed, the writing and the…
I picked up The Sudden Appearance of Hope because I had read The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August and really loved the style and the writing. It will probably be one of my favourite books of the year, so I was excited to see what else Claire North had to offer in the book department….
Wilde Like Me was a book I picked up because I regularly watch Louise Pentland’s vlogs and had heard so much about the books and the characters. Plus the fact that she actually wrote it herself intrigues me, especially with the majority of YouTubers using ghostwriters. I think one thing to note is that Louise…
The Hundred-Year-Old Man was a book that I started reading a long time ago and remembered enjoying. Unfortunately, I put it down and only picked it back up recently, I’m not sure it was the best idea. This book had me scratching my head all the way through, and by the end, I was struggling…
I read this book as I live on an Island where abortion isn’t legal, and although the situation to get an abortion is nowhere near as bad as those in third world countries it isn’t ideal. Over the last couple of months, there has been a lot of protesting and parallels have been made between…
I listened to this book on Audible and I’m so glad I did. This book is perfect on audiobook, you become completely submerged in the story. I think you begin to notice some of the things you wouldn’t have if you were reading it on the page. I have so much to say about this…
I thought The Miniaturist was slow to begin with, nothing really seemed to happen and there wasn’t much context for the characters or what was going on. The beginning I struggled with, but once I got into the story I was drawn in. I wouldn’t go as far as to say I couldn’t put it down…
