Weekly Wrap-Up #9
It's been a while since my last Weekly Wrap-Up, but I'm making up for it today by briefly reviewing all the books I've read in the past two weeks. 1. The Cheerleaders by Kara Thomas 💙 This was tense, taunt and heavily atmospheric. Compulsively readable with a great, flawed and intelligent protagonist. I found that I … Continue reading Weekly Wrap-Up #9
Weekly Wrap-Up #8
This is my final wrap-up of the month, which is why this is slightly late, so my Monthly Wrap Up can contain all the books I've read. This week I read 4 books, but what did I think of them?
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
Evelyn Hugo stole my heart. This is the epitome of sucking you into a story. I got lost in the world of 50s Hollywood: the glitz, the glamour and the seedy, dark underbelly of it all.

Weekly Wrap-Up #4
This is slightly late, because I have had one hectic week! I'm only going to be counting up to Thursday, so this can tie-in with my February Wrap-Up, which will be up later next week. Since the 22nd, I have read six books, which I am going to review in turn today. 1. On The … Continue reading Weekly Wrap-Up #4

The Twisted Tree by Rachel Burge 💙 A gripping, atmospheric and dark tale filled with intricate mythology, interesting characters and chilling magic. This is such a poignant and eerie book with a beautiful … Continue reading Weekly Wrap-Up #3
