REVIEW | Wonder – R.J. Palacio
“Here’s what I think: the only reason I’m not ordinary is that no one else sees me that way.” It’s hard to talk about this book without spoiling it. But I loved reading this book – and I was right, I did cry by the end. We mainly follow August, a boy who was born Continue reading

REVIEW | The Tech – Mark Ravine
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characters are fleshed out, although I maybe would have liked a little more fleshing out but they’re certainly not two-dimensional, and the story is engaging – set with a newly formed team of misfits in the FBI who appear to have caught a string of cases around a wider Continue reading

REVIEW | Cogheart – Peter Bunzl
No one conquers fear easily, Robert. It takes a brave heart to win great battles. This was such a compelling story! And wow was it more murderous and gore-filled than I expected. It actually got my squeamishness triggered at times. Set in a steampunk Victorian England, we follow Lily and Robert as they flee from Continue reading

REVIEW | Twilight – Stephanie Meyer
I like the night. Without the dark, we’d never see the stars. Ha! Apparently I rated this a 2 star back when I joined Goodreads (about 6 years after reading the book. That would have most certainly been a lie if I rated it when I actually read it! This book started my love affair Continue reading

My love of books
So I have started re-reading the book that started it all for me, and it made me reflect about my reading journey. “If you don’t like to read, you haven’t found the right book.” – J.K. Rowling This was totally true for me. As a child, it was probably one of the worst things you Continue reading

REVIEW | A Discovery of Witches – Deborah Harkness
It begins with absence and desire. It begins with blood and fear. It begins with a discovery of witches. Oooh, OK. So I watched the TV series before reading this book, but it has been a while. The TV show felt like it had been done so well, it kind of put me off reading Continue reading

REVIEW | Sisters of the Perilous Heart – Sandra L Vasher
Happy publication day! Set on another planet, this book has a vicious immortal race developed by humans, a magical royal family, and an intertwining storyline – following two groups of people with very different backgrounds as they deal with all this. I really enjoyed the story, however, I also feel I wanted a bit more Continue reading

REVIEW | The Fire in the Glass – Jacquelyn Benson
“Lilith Albright rattled across the heath on the back of her motorcycle, pushing for speed as though it were possible to outrun the inevitable.” Wow! It has been so long since a mystery pulled me in like this! Sure I pegged the culprit early on, but the journey was wonderful, and I adore the cast Continue reading

REVIEW | The Simple Wild – K.A. Tucker
“And just like that, I sense a circle closing. Back to the beginning, and near to the end.” I wasn’t sure what to expect, as I don’t read a lot of this genre, but I loved this book! It was a slower-paced novel for the most part – I’m all for slow-burn romance, but there Continue reading

REVIEW | The Secret Garden – Frances Hodgson Burnett
“Where you tend a rose my lad, a thistle cannot grow.” Why did I always avoid this book and film growing up!? This was such a beautiful and heart-warming story. We follow two children who have been neglected and raised through privilege – always getting their way despite being horrible and bratty, and not doing Continue reading
About Me
Books and food enthusiast. I discovered a love for reading in my late teens, so you’ll see me catching up on older series quite often. I also love to travel around the UK, where I live, and picking up some crafty hobbies – I hope to share snippets of this amongst all the book content. Other interests include gaming, podcasts, drinking too much tea, and trying to personify autumn.
