I wanted to start Heartstopper Vol 1 because once again I won’t watch the TV show without reading the books. There has been so much hype surrounding this book, but I had no idea what it was about or actually what it was based on. I understand it was based on characters from Solitaire, which…
I had no idea what I was getting into when I picked this book up. In fact it wasn’t on my list to be honest. I was going to read another witchy book but I ended up vibing with The Once and Future Witches more. I am so glad I picked this one up. It…
I am SO late on the bandwagon with this one, but I saw The Thursday Murder Club at a local charity shop and had to pick it up. It was definitely worth the read, and I went into the story having no idea what was going to happen and what it was about in all…
I was a massive fan of The House on the Cerulean Sea, in fact it was one of my favourite books of 2021 so I was so excited to see Under the Whispering Door and jumped at the chance to read it. I went into the story having very little idea on what it was…
I heard so much about Wilder Girls and how great the friendships were all the way through. Plus I really admired the dystopia setting. I will say the dynamics were really interesting. There were moments of rawness that I don’t think I’ve seen for a really long time in a book. I actually really loved…
Akin is written by Emma Donoghue, who wrote Room which was one of my favourite books. I loved the insight you got all the way through that book and I was desperate to try Akin to see if I would connect the same with the characters and the story. I was blown away by how…
Ace of Shades got off to a rocky start if I’m honest. I was a little confused with the language and how everything starts off, I feel like it was kind of a baptism of fire. I also thought that the beginning of the book felt a little disjointed with the characters and the setting….
I have heard so many good things about The Cruel Prince and this series so I was excited to jump into it and learn more about it all. Plus the premise sounded like something right up my street, especially with what sounded like a well developed fae mythology. I will say that from the beginning…
Muse of Nightmares is the sequel to one of my all-time favourite books, Strange the Dreamer. I will say, straight off the bat that I didn’t enjoy it as much as Strange the Dreamer, but it was still a great read and will probably get a place on my favourite books of the year. It…

The Orphanage of Gods is another Netgalley read and one that I was really intrigued by the premise. I love anything to do with Gods and their offspring, like Percy Jackson is a fave and Strange the Dreamer makes me swoon. This book has the added bonus of the “godspawn” being in a precarious position…
