Book Review: The Cheerleaders by Kara Thomas

23/10/2020      2 Comments

The Cheerleaders is the first book by Kara Thomas that I've read, and after enjoying this one so much I will definitely be reading more from her in the future. Thomas managed to mix emotion with mystery very well in this book, and I was kept wondering right up until the end. ...

Book Review: The Reckless Afterlife of Harriet Stoker by Lauren James

21/10/2020      Leave a Comment

I've read a couple of books by Lauren James now and I have felt the same way about both of them. I think I have trouble really connecting with the writing style, as a lot of the time it feels very simple - and her books are often too short! Although this one was a better size, at just over 400 ...

September 2020 Wrap Up and October Plans

Hi fellow readers! Long time no speak (kind of). The past few months have been horrendously busy for me so the only thing I have really had time for is writing book reviews, and even then I've not kept up with those like I had originally planned. Why have I been so busy, you ask? Well, I bought a ...

Book Review: Inside 10 Rillington Place by Peter Thorley

08/10/2020      1 Comment

Inside 10 Rillington Place was such a let down! I didn't know anything about the case when I requested this book from Netgalley, so I went in completely blind. I'm massively disappointed by the way the case was presented, and I wish I wasn't because this is such an interesting case! Since this ...

Book Review: One by One by Ruth Ware

16/09/2020      Leave a Comment

I have been loving Ruth Ware's books this past year. I have read everything she has written to date (you might be interested in my video in which I read her backlist and decide what my favourite is), so when I saw One by One up on Netgalley I had to grab it. ...

Happy release day to The Effort! I'm so excited to read this apocalyptic story about people coming together to prevent a global crisis. Like I said the other day, I'm really into disaster stories lately ๐Ÿ˜Š

I'm smashing through my physical ARCs this week, which means it's almost time for me to read This is Not the Jess Show! I'm excited for this one, if a little cautious about how similar to The Truman Show it's going to be.

I absolutely blasted through The Girls I've Been by Tess Sharpe this week! I was worried I was getting slumpy from too much sff so I switched to a YA thriller and WHEW, it was excellent. 

The Girls I've Been is about a girl called Nora who is the daughter of a con artist (and also bi!). She's living her own life now away from her mother, and then someone tries to rob a bank while she's inside it.

This was so fast paced and I love that it was told in a non linear format. Trigger warnings for lots of things, though. You can find the full list on the author's website but the main one for me was domestic violence.

 I've just started The Lightest Object in the Universe and I'm intrigued! Have you read it?

Siri, Who Am I? was my final read of 2020 and it was a fun one. While I didn't love how the main character treated others, particularly her attitude towards sex workers, I did like how fast paced this one was and the slight mystery element mixed with Rich People Drama kept me reading. Will I reread it? No. But I enjoyed my time with it well enough.

I adore The City of Brass so much, and I recommend it to everyone I come across. I've reread it three times now, and in 2021 I plan to make it four!
