Book Review #14: Slaughterhouse 5

Just like The Importance of being Earnest, this book has spent a while on my TBR. It first appeared 77 months ago on my physical TBR as preparation for my A-Level project wehre I had to pick a book to write an essay on. I never got round to reading this one as I chose… Continue reading Book Review #14: Slaughterhouse 5

Book Review #13: The Importance of being Earnest

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

Book Review #12: Thunderhead

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

Book Review #11: Shantaram

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

Book Review #10: Scythe

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

Book Review #7: Get a life Chloe Brown

Another month, another audiobook! This month's audiobook was Get a life Chloe Brown by Talia Hibert. I will not lie, I had never heard of the author before watching The Book Leo on Youtube when she recommended the series. I have not heard many people talking about it before seeing that excerpt on YouTube, so… Continue reading Book Review #7: Get a life Chloe Brown

Book Review #6: The Girl with all the Gifts

I will not lie, I finished this book a week ago and have had to allow it to fester before writing a review. There are times where I need to write the review as soon as I finish a book, but this book had such an impact I needed to think before writing it. I… Continue reading Book Review #6: The Girl with all the Gifts

February Monthly Hopefuls

The first of the month means that it is time to delve into my February hopefuls! Last month I was able to get my teeth into 3 of my monthly hopefuls out of the seven that I originally proposed, which is almost half of them! It was fun having a list of potentials to choose… Continue reading February Monthly Hopefuls

Book Review #5: Eleanor Oliphant is Completely fine

After finishing The Takedown, I needed another book to listen to on my commute to and from work. There is a large selection on audible to choose from, but something drew me to the cover of this one. After looking at it on my screen I did vaguely remember that there was some talk about… Continue reading Book Review #5: Eleanor Oliphant is Completely fine

Book review #4: Holding

At the start of this year I never would have thought that I would say that I have read a book by Graham Norton, but this afternoon I finished up on of his books Holding: a crime mystery set in Ireland. My grandmother lent it to me at the end of last year to read… Continue reading Book review #4: Holding
