Oh. My. Life. How did I wait months to read this?! Our Dark Duet is the second (and final) book in the Monsters of Verity duology and it was a brilliant finale to a brilliant series. I can’t wait to read more of Victoria’ Schwab’s work because this was just fantastic! …
Like any other obsessed reader, I love reading books about books. I can relate to the characters on so many levels and I feel spiritually connected to them because their love for books mirrors my own. This feeling was no different when I started reading The Invisible Library. The only problem is… I liked it, but didn’t like it at the same time? …
I listened to The Kiss of Deception on audiobook and I think – looking back – I would have liked to have read the physical copy of the book. The audiobook was good, and the narrator did a fantastic job in making the novel come to life, but there’s just something about reading it in its physical form that would have made me enjoy it even more. …
Like The Northern Lights and The Subtle Knife, I listened to The Amber Spyglass on audiobook where Philip Pullman narrates his own books alongside a full cast. If you’re going to listen to anything on audiobook, I definitely recommend this trilogy because of how well it’s narrated, maybe not due to how good the book is though… …
Surprisingly, I haven’t heard a lot about this book around the blogosphere and the booktube community… But when I saw the cover when I was browsing Audible, I was immediately intrigued, so I read the premise and just spontaneously bought it. It sounded like just the kind of book that I really enjoy.
As I did for The Northern Lights, I listened to The Subtle Knife on audiobook. I binge-read this trilogy; I just couldn’t get enough of the characters and the story and I was constantly on the edge of my seat. …
I first read this book when I was about twelve and I just couldn’t get into it. It wasn’t the type of book that I liked to read and I remember the size of the book just made reading it so much harder. But I finished it and never even thought about reading the next two. But ten years later, and I found myself returning to the world of Lyra, polar bears, daemons and witches. This time, I listened to it on audiobook (which is also narrated by Philip Pullman), and I found myself engrossed. …
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. …
I am finally getting round to reading all of the books that I have been wanting to read for what seems like my whole entire life. I’m keeping myself off of Netgalley so that I’m not tempted to request any books which also means that I don’t have to read books by deadlines WHICH THEN also means that I get to read my own books that I’ve bought with my own money. And when I realised that I had an open slot in my blog schedule, I jumped at the chance to put This Savage Song in that spot so that I could get to read it! AND OH.MY.LIFE, it was definitely worth the wait. …
It has been so long since I read The Dream Thieves that I had to read spoiler reviews of the book so that I could refresh my memory. When I started reading Blue Lily, Lily Blue, I still couldn’t remember what had happened but as kept reading, I remembered and all of the reasons why I love this series came flooding back. …
