The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne by Ann Radcliffe

The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne by Ann Radcliffe

The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne by Ann Radcliffe was the second book that I had to read for my gothic module at university. I had heard a lot about Radcliffe prior to reading this short novel because of her masterpiece: Mysteries of Udolpho (which I haven’t personally read, but I have heard nothing but good things about it). The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne was Radcliffe’s first published piece of work, so whilst it was not a life-changing read, it was definitely entertaining. …

The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater

The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater

I literally read this book a week ago and I’m struggling to remember what happened so that I can write this review. WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN TO ME! This is what happens when you read so much, you just forget everything. BUT, I can remember that I absolutely loved this book apart from a few tiny tiny things and it was a very nice ending to an amazing quartet. …

The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee

The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee

What’s that? I’ve actually read a book that has just come out? No, guys, I’m feeling absolutely fine, I just knew that I had to read this book as soon as it was released because I knew that I wouldn’t be able to wait any longer.

Daughter of the Burning City by Amanda Foody

If you’re a regular reader of my reviews, you will know that I am not a big fan of circus/carnival books and the only one that I truly loved was Caraval by Stephanie Garber. I’ve read a handful more of similar storylines, yet they never seem to leave me hankering for more. Daughter of the Burning City was better than other circus/carnival books that I have read but it still wasn’t a book that I would read again and again.

Saga Vol. 4 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples

Saga Vol. 4 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples

Yes, all of my graphic novel reviews at the moment are about Saga because it’s amazing and it’s the only graphic novel series that I’m reading at the moment because I can’t get enough of it. If you’ve read my reviews of volumes 1-3, you will know how much I ADORE this series, however volume four wasn’t up to the same standards as the previous three. …

History is All You Left Me by Adam Silvera

History is All You Left Me by Adam Silvera

This is the first Adam Silvera book that I have ever read. I bought it as soon as it came out but I didn’t end up reading it until months and months later because of the hype that was surrounding the book; it just put me off reading it. But now I’ve finally read it, and I can finally share with you all what I thought of History is All You Left Me.

WARNING: MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD …
