I usually post my reviews on a Monday or Friday, and I forgot to write this for Monday, but that’s ok. Better late than never, right?
Here’s my review of Madame Burova by Ruth Hogan. … More Book Review: Madame Burova
I really enjoyed this story. It was a quick read for me as it’s a middle-grade book, but the story delights with the backdrop of Italy and mesmerises you with the detail of bones. … More Book Review: A Secret of Birds and Bone
This Friday is World Book Night! World Book Night is an annual celebration of books and reading for 23 April (nicely coinciding with Shakespeare’s birthday). This year they’re celebrating their 10th anniversary! … More Top Three Children’s Books for World Book Night
I finally finished the series! ‘Ruin and Rising’ by Leigh Bardugo is the final in her first Grishaverse series, and actually I liked the third book the most out of all of them. … More Book Review: ‘Ruin and Rising’
The TV series of Shadow and Bone is coming out later this month, so I’m rereading the series! So far I’ve only read ‘Shadow and Bone’ and ‘Seige and Storm’ before, so it will be great to see what the ending of this series will be. … More Book Review: Shadow and Bone
As always, it’s that time of the month again where I share my top four books for the month ahead. I’ve chosen another four in the Fiction, Non-fiction, Fantasy, and Young Adult genres, and tried to mix it up with some older books this time. 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
I’m a big fan of middle-grade / age 9-12 fiction. I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s my fan of gripping adventures, maybe it’s my love of Harry Potter and Philip Pullman’s Northern Lights that fit into this genre, as well as the Percy Jackson series. … More Book Review: Cogheart
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
