This last week marked the Autumn Equinox, so as we’re officially in Autumn now, I wanted to share seven books I would absolutely recommend every autumn. They’re just packed with magic, fairies, ghosts, ghouls, and history. Every one of them. … More Super Seven Books for Autumn
Oh what a tale this was. It had more than several hints of greek tragedy, brimmed with ancient myths, gods, and heroes, and had almost a feminist feel to the tale. I loved this book, and I do think ‘Circe’ is one of my favourite female characters. … More Book Review: ‘Circe’ by Madeline Miller
I read this book in two days! Two days! Ok, that isn’t the record (I’ve read books in an hour or two before now), but still. I think that’s pretty good. … More Book Review: The Midnight Library
Last week was Fantasy and Science Fiction week on Goodreads, and I thoroughly celebrated by reading Fantasy and Science Fiction. I read The Midnight Library by Matt Haig with definite science fiction vibes, what with alternative lives and universes… … More Top Three: My Favourite Fantasy Series
What an intense ride that was. The whole book was as eerie and mysterious as the moors that hold the setting, and the plot is filled with the heroine’s courage and the dangerous violence of the villains. … More Book Review: Jamaica Inn

Older in the fact of their publication dates. … More Book Recommendations: April 2021
Another review of a Scarlett Thompson book, ‘The Seed Collector’s’ wasn’t my favourite, but I still liked it overall. It was a deep dive into family drama and the nature of relationships, as well as nature itself. … More Book Review: The Seed Collectors
The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro took me an age to get through. I started it early last year, ended up reading 60-odd pages, and then put it down until about a week ago. … More Book Review: The Buried Giant
I wasn’t sure what to make of the book at first, as it delved far more into long descriptions of the O’Malley family and how they ended in the state they were in the ‘present’. I wasn’t even entirely sure on the timeframe the book was set, although I guessed somewhere in the 19th Century when corsets and long dresses were still worn. … More Book Review: All the Murmuring Bones
