REVIEW | The Foxhole Court – Nora Sakavic
“It’s not the world that’s cruel. It’s the people in it.” I think I’m giving this 3.5 stars. I wasn’t sold on it at the beginning… Centred around a brutal team sport that I think is similar to what very little I know of La Cross (is that even how you spell it? – I… Continue reading

REVIEW | The Court of Miracles – Kester Grant
“This is how it started;with a sister weeping in her bed;a child so terrified she sold herself to a thief;a girl so lovely, the world went to war to possess her” This book was so promising! I think I may have put just a little too much expectation on it. But I mean, come on… 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

REVIEW | They Both Die At The End – Adam Silvera
“I wasted all those yesterdays and am completely out of tomorrows.” The concept of this book is fantastic, if unnerving. After midnight, Death-Cast phone people who they have predicted will die today to let them know, so they can say their goodbyes and get anything they wanted to do done – and they’re never wrong.… Continue reading

REVIEW | Serpent & Dove – Shelby Mahurin
“Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.” I loved this book. Of course I loved it. It’s a great enemies to lovers story that unfolds slowly over the book, after our two protagonists, a witch and a witch hunter, are thrust together in a marriage of convenience. I loved Lou and Reid’s characters, but… Continue reading

REVIEW | Talon – Julie Kagawa
I listened to this for free on Audible Stories – and I’m kinda glad it was free, even if it did get me through some slow workdays. It felt like a stereotype of YA novels. A typical girl meets boy and then girl meets boy oh so different. Girl can’t choose between creepy or conflicted… Continue reading

REVIEW | Throne of Glass – Sarah J Mass
“We all bear scars,… Mine just happen to be more visible than most.” Depending on how much you know of the series, this could be slightly spoilery for the series, as I mention how I feel about characters with later parts of the series in mind. So I’m reading this for the second time. I… Continue reading

REVIEW | A Heart So Fierce and Broken – Brigid Kemmerer
“Choices are never easy. There are good and bad options, but the most dangerous is to not make any choice at all.” I’d heard mixed reviews about this book – I’m not sure if I just lowered my expectations, but I loved this continuation of the story. We do move on to newer characters, and… Continue reading

REVIEW | The Beautiful – Renée Ahdieh
First book of the year finished!!! I stayed up way too late to finish it – not caring for future Hannah who had work this morning… No matter where she went, danger followed. And it horrified her. Just as it thrilled her. So I originally rated this 5 stars on completing it. I’d flown through… 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.
