Book Review | Rating - 3/5 | Genre - Young adult/Historical-Romance This was a book I requested after reading the first book, The Gentlemans' Guide to Vice and Virtue many years ago.

Book Review | Rating - 3/5 | Genre - Contemporary Romance For the first few weeks (probably months) of the new year, there are going to be reviews from books I got for Christmas and my birthday. The "to be read" pile has gotten a lot larger now, so I want to get through the... Continue Reading →
“Raising Steam” by Terry Pratchett | Book Review
Book Review | Rating - 3/5 | Genre - Fantasy I've been a fan of Terry Pratchett for many years now, having bought and read many of his books over the years.

“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 - 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.

Book Review | Rating - 3/5 | Genre - Historical Fantasy This is yet another book that has entered my collection without me really noticing it.

“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 →
