Book Review: The Beekeeper of Aleppo by Christy Lefteri

09/09/2020      Leave a Comment

I had to take several breaks while reading The Beekeeper of Aleppo because it is a HEAVY read. It follows Nuri and Afra, husband and wife, as they flee Syria to join their family in the UK as refugees. The main bulk of the story takes place in Syria, where we see how their lives were before and ...

Book Review: The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

02/09/2020      1 Comment

I've missed Jennifer Lynn Barnes' writing. We got off to a rocky start with her paranormal books, but as soon as she switched to writing mystery and thriller books I knew that she was going to be an author that I love. ...

Give me ALL the survival stories! I want to read about people being stuck in the wilderness! I've realised that since reading Be Not Far From Me, I've been really into survival stories. I knew I liked them before I read the book, but now I've realised that these stories are something that I want ...

Book Review: The Space Between Worlds by Michaiah Johnson

If you've been around here for a while then you might know that parallel universe stories are my jam. I absolutely cannot get enough of them, as I find the entire concept so intriguing and exciting. When I first heard about The Space Between Worlds, I knew I had to snap it up, because it sounded ...

Book Review: Clown in a Cornfield by Adam Cesare

19/08/2020      Leave a Comment

I requested Clown in a Cornfield partly because I'm getting more and more into horror lately and I thought this sounded like something I'd enjoy, and partly because it sounds like the title of an Animal Ark book (does anyone remember those?). I'm sad to say that I didn't like Clown in a Cornfield as ...

Book Review: The Switch by Beth O’Leary

18/08/2020      3 Comments

I absolutely adored The Flatshare when I read it last year, and Beth O'Leary shot to the top of my "to buy next" list so I could explore what else she has to offer. I nabbed this one when I saw it up on Netgalley as an audiobook, and I think I definitely made the right choice. ...

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!

What's your favourite fantasy series?
