A (Late) November Wrap-Up

Dec 17, 2018Apr 19, 20201 Comment

For day 5 of my 18 days of 2018, I wanted to share all the books I read in November and my quick thoughts on them (fifty words or less ish), even though it's exactly halfway through December. In total, I read 14 books, which I'm really happy with. All The Books I Read in … Continue reading A (Late) November Wrap-Up

Tuesday Thoughts

So, I've had a bit of time out of blogging due to a hectic month, which means that I haven't quite be as regularly posting as I'd hoped to be. However, I want to make up for this today with a couple of reviews for some books that I think need a lot more love. … Continue reading Tuesday Thoughts

Sorry for the big gap between posts! Time just seems to have slipped away from me recently and here we are, nearly halfway through the next month. Last month, I participated in Blogtober, which I reflected on recently and somehow also managed to read a whole bunch of books! In October, I read a grand total of … Continue reading October Reading Wrap-Up

I'm back again, with another two mini reviews to share today. They're both gripping mysteries, ready for these darker nights! First off, it's the beautiful Blackbird by N.D.Gomes.

They Both Die At The End Review

Now, this is one of my favourite books of 2017 and today, I wanted to do a little throwback to not only 2017 but to where this blog all began with my 18 Books To Celebrate Pride 2018 series, where this was one of my choices. They Both Die At The End: On September 5th, a little after midnight, … Continue reading They Both Die At The End Review

Mini Review Monday #2

Following on from last week's Mini Review Monday, I realised how much I enjoy just sharing my thoughts on some of the wonderful books that don't seem to get as much love as they deserve! So, I decided to continue this today with another three amazing books. First up is The Astonishing Colour of After by … Continue reading Mini Review Monday #2

Happier Thinking Review

I received this book for free from the author in exchange for an honest review, so thanks to Lana Grace Riva for sending me a copy of her lovely book. Happier Thinking: Changing how you think is possible. I wasn't always so sure that was true until I experienced it myself, but I know now … Continue reading Happier Thinking Review

Thunderhead Review

Oct 11, 2018Dec 28, 20195 Comments

Yesterday, I kicked off my celebration of the Arc of a Scythe series with a review of the first book in the series and today, I'm sharing my thoughts on the sequel: Thunderhead. Thunderhead Review: I'll keep this short and spoiler-free, so I won't include a synopsis as it spoils some events from Scythe. Thunderhead … Continue reading Thunderhead Review

Scythe Review

Oct 10, 2018Oct 8, 20188 Comments

So this is a series that I go on about a fair bit on here, but I suddenly realised that I've never posted a full review of the first two books in the series on here. Over the next two days, I aim to change that. Today marks the first instalment with my review of … Continue reading Scythe Review
