I am a HUUUUUUGGGGEEEEE comic book/superhero/graphic novel nerd. I love superhero stuff so much so when I found out that young adult authors were working with DC to write stories about our much-loved superheroes, I couldn’t wait to see what they came up with. First up was Leigh Bardugo and her story of Diana Prince… …
After reading the first book, Shadow House: The Gathering, I moved straight onto the second book without a moment’s hesitation. I HAD to find out what was next in store for our five main characters and I couldn’t wait to see what else the Shadow House had in store for them…
So since it’s that time around Halloween, that could mean only one thing, right? Time to read SPOOKY BOOKS! And if the title of ‘Asylum’ with the picture of that girl on the front cover doesn’t get you into the scary book mood, then I have no idea what will. …
I HAVE BEEN MEANING TO READ THIS FOR SO LONG! I saw this book in my local Waterstones about a year ago when I was at the monthly book club that I attend. The cover drew me to it. It was just creepy. The whole aesthetics of the book was just mind-blowing. There are pictures, the pages are grey. the cover is amazing and there is an app that you can play alongside reading the book. …
Holly Black is the queen of all the fae. She co-wrote the AMAZING series of The Spiderwick Chronicles with Tony DiTerlizzi and then she went on to write amazing books such as The Coldest Girl in Coldtown and The Darkest Part of the Forest. So when I was sent this book by the publisher, I had majorly high expectations going into it and I knew I wasn’t going to be disappointed. …
I saw this book in my local Foyles about a year and a half ago. The thing that drew me to this book was that:
I didn’t actually buy the book until a year later, and then it took me another six months to get around to reading it.
This is the first Libba Bray book that I have read (no I haven’t read The Diviners, have you seen the size of my TBR pile?) I’ve heard a lot of mixed things about this book, so I was very intrigued to get to it. A feminist book about beauty queens stranded on a beach? Yes, please. …
Where do I even start when talking about this book? It is everything that I expect a Holly Bourne novel to be and more. I didn’t know if Bourne’s writing could get any better, but it did… It really did… …
Wow. How have I not read this book before today? Why did I just let this book sit on my bookshelf gathering dust, whilst I took a chance and read 3 stars (or less) books instead? Doing the Gothic module at university has given me the opportunity to read so many amazing books and Rebecca is definitely one of them. …
I can’t believe that I am just getting round to reading this classic novel! I’ve never found the motivation to read it because I thought that it was just going to be another over-hyped classic book, but I was so wrong! I had to read this book for my Gothic module at university so I’m glad that I have finally had the opportunity (and lack of choice!) to read it. …
