“The Circle” by Dave Eggers | Book Review
Book Reivew | Rating - 4/5 | Genre - Science Fiction Once again, we've got a book that was brought to my attention by a movie. Thinking about it now, I don't think I can really go on about how I always try to read the book before I see the movie, clearly I don't... Continue Reading →

Book Review | Rating - 3/5 | Genre - Young Adult / Romance This has been a book I've had for a good while now, having bought the book during a phase in my life when I had just discovered David Levithan as an author. It was one of those books that I remember reading... Continue Reading →
“Arrival” by Ted Chiang | Book Review
Book Review | Rating - 3/5 | Genre - Sci-fi / Short Stories I was inspired to read this book through my love of the movie Arrival. As usual, I bought the book years ago, for some reason I just didn't ever pick it up to actually read it. Instead, it just sat within the... Continue Reading →
“How To Stop Time” by Matt Haig | Book Review
Book review | Rating - 4/5 | Genre - historical fiction/fantasy Having caught the “Matt Haig” bug after reading The Midnight Library, I decided to have a read of another of his books.

“The Book of Dead Days” by Marcus Sedgwick | Book Review
Book Review | Rating - 3/5 | Genre - Fantasy I've had this book for many years, ever since I was in high school. I have a vague memory of reading this one at the time, but there isn't really anything that stuck with me enough to know what I'd ben coming into reading it... Continue Reading →
“Before the Coffee gets Cold” by Toshikazu Kawaguchi | Book Review
Book Review | Rating - 5/5 | Genre - Magical Realism This made up one of two books that I bought a month back on a spontaneous trip to the bookshops in town. Honestly, I couldn't really help myself, I hadn't bought any books in a while so it was bound to happen. As for... Continue Reading →
“The View from the Cheap Seats” by Neil Gaiman | Book Review
Book Review | Rating - 4/5 | Genre - NonFiction / Essays Another book where I'm not entirely sure how I came to owning it. I want to say it might've been a gift for Christmas or my birthday; based only the fact I rarely spend money so they're the only options for me receiving... Continue Reading →
