Flawed by Cecelia Ahern
I’ve actually owned this book for such a long time, but when I received the second book from the publisher, I kind of… had to read the first one. Which I’m glad about to be honest because I’ve been meaning to read it for ages! Dystopians are kinda like my fave… …
Zenn Diagram by Wendy Brant
The eBook for Zenn Diagram is 222 pages so it was a very quick read for me; I finished it in a day. It’s a super-cute contemporary that has its quirks and an underlying secret that will leave you shocked. …
Traitor to the Throne by Alwyn Hamilton
After reading the much-loved Rebel of the Sands, Traitor to the Throne jumps ahead nearly a year to when the Rebellion has gained much more ground and Amani is fighting for what she believes in. I feel like this book suffered the second-book-syndrome. That’s not to say it was rubbish (because it really wasn’t!) it just wasn’t as good as the first one – hence the four stars instead of the five. …
The Sunshine Time S1 E5 by Sonal Panse
Now this is more like it! Episode five contains what I love the most about The Sunshine Time – drama, romance, Lea being a badass protagonist and the humour. If the rest of the season can be like episode five, then I will be a very happy reader! …
The Roper Twins: Bath Time Battle with Nan by Cauline Thomas-Brown
This book is Cauline’s first step into children’s literature and I think she’s done a good job in creating a short, simple book that can be read to your young child before bedtime. This book is aimed at 0-5-year-olds and is such a fun read! …
A Curious Tale of the In-Between by Lauren DeStefano
Knowing that A Curious Tale of the In-Between was a middle-grade book, I went into this book knowing I may not get the same supernatural effect as a YA book would give off. The concept of the book seems fantastic: a girl who can talk to ghosts. I love reading about kids with supernatural abilities and there’s even a hypothesis floating around that says children are more susceptible to seeing ghosts. Hmmmm… How fascinating… …
The Fishing-boat Picture by Alan Sillitoe
One of the brilliant things about studying English at university is that I come across stories that I would never normally pick up in my spare time. In one of my modules, I am studying the short story and whilst they are very quick to read, most of them have huge underlying depth and meaning.
Whilst I enjoyed reading The Fishing-boat Picture and I knew that there must be some underlying meaning, I couldn’t quite put my finger on what Shillitoe meant by this short story. …
The Book of Bera by Suzie Wilde
I don’t think I have ever read a Viking fantasy novel up until now, so I was intrigued to see how the author, Suzie Wilde would portray this period of history and whether I would actually enjoy it. …
Ayden’s Choice by Sam Felix
After reading the blurb, this book came across as being a mix of the crime and sci-fi genres. I love reading/watching about hacking or the use of cyberspace so I was very excited to start reading Ayden’s Choice.
