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
This is another 9-12 / middle-grade book. What can I say? I loved The Storm Keeper’s Island from the get-go. It’s magical and enchanting, mysterious and filled with storms. … More Book Review: The Storm Keeper’s Island
I try to have your standard habits – eat well, exercise, make the bed etc., but I’m all about trying to be more productive, even if things don’t always go as planned – the old procrastination rears its ugly head sometimes! I also like to listen to the odd audiobook on occasion – mainly non-fiction, and I’m always on the lookout for self-improvement books, so here’s my latest review of James Clear’s Atomic Habits. … More Book Review: Atomic Habits
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’ve read the first two books already this year. It seems only perfect to continue this great series. Check out my review of The Words of the Wondering by D.E. Night … More Book Review – The Words of the Wandering
It’s that time again! I’ve ended up choosing four books again, but this time in a blue colour scheme. It didn’t start out that way, but I realised I picked three books the same colour, and the fourth just had to stay that way too. … More Book Recommendations: March 2021
Thank you again to the publishers for sharing the second book with me, because it didn’t disappoint! I enjoyed this story just as much as the first book. I still had a distinct impression of Jessica Townsend’s Nevermoor, and the whole series so far has been very readable, with new dramas around every turn of the page. … More Book Review: The Girl with the Whispering Shadow
I found it hard to come back down to reality after reading this book. It delights, inspires, and draws you in from the very first few pages, and my second read of it did not disappoint. … More Book Review: The Toymakers by Robert Dinsdale
