Tress of the Emerald Sea, even saying the name sounds fantastical, cozy, and just like a novel I know I wanted to pick up! I have never read a Brandon Sanderson novel before, and I heard so many good things about this novel that I knew that I needed to pick it up. When I… Continue reading Book Review #15: Tress of the Emerald Sea
I have seen a few videos on BookTube of people predicting their potential five star reads and reacting to them after reading them. It is always a fun concept to watch and I thought why not do it myself! Firstly though, I think it may be a good idea to see what constitute as a… Continue reading My 5 star predictions
This has got to be one of the books that has been lounging on my TBR for the longest time! I think I calculated and it has spent 93 months on my physical TBR pile! Shocking! I decided that I wanted to read it as I was looking for relatively short books/plays to read over… Continue reading Book Review #13: The Importance of being Earnest
Welcome to the monthly post where I give myself unrealistic goals and expectations that will probably lead me to not achieving them! I am your host: the unreliable reader and let us get moving... So, last year I had set myself a goal of reading 8 books. I managed to read 4 books last month,… Continue reading April Monthly Hopefuls
Ok if I thought that I was late for February's monthly wrap up then what do I call this! But better late than never? Wrap up time So over the course of March I ended up reading a total of 4 books: Circe by Madeline Miller Scythe by Neal Shusterman Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts… Continue reading March Monthly Wrap up and Stats
The second within the trilogy, I believe that The Arc of Scythe will become a cherished series for me. I fell in love with Scythe, so much so I think that my review of it is slightly erratic! I will definitely have to tweak that review once I have finished reading the final book in… Continue reading Book Review #12: Thunderhead
Shantaram, a book I had not heard of until my colleague was raving about it in work. A weapon of a novel, purely because of its brick like size, that read like a fiction but is seemingly an autobiography. Gregory David Roberts has so far lived a life unlike any other life that I have… Continue reading Book Review #11: Shantaram
Last month I did a post where a random number generator generated how many hours I read for a week, and on the back of it I was wondering how long I actually read in a read. I know reading weeks vary for everyone, and it definitely varies for me, but I have never really… Continue reading Realistic reading week
Ok this has to be the quickest I have read a book so far in 2024! This book series I discovered thanks to Haley Pham recommending it on her YouTube channel last year - I think that it was during the summer months. After seeing that video I immediately added it to my wishlist, and… Continue reading Book Review #10: Scythe
The bookclub pick of February was Circe by Madeline Miller, a Greek Mythological retelling of a minor Greek goddess. This is not Madeline Miller's first Greek retelling rodeo as she shot to fame within the book community with her retelling of Achilles' story through the point of view of Patroclus. This was a 5 star… Continue reading Book Review #9: Circe
