In my attempt to read more middle-grade novels, Prisoner of Ice and Snow caught my attention as the perfect read. It’s a mix between Frozen, Prison Break and Six of Crows, and since I love the first two (I haven’t read Six of Crows), I was excited to give this book a go. …
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 …
AHHHHHH! THIS IS MORE LIKE IT! This was so much better. The storyline kicks off again and we see more of Lea’s character when it’s just her on her own and when she’s not with so many other people. …
Wow. Just wow. This book is amazing, educational, heart-warming and heart-breaking all at the same time. If I Was Your Girl is an own voices novel that will stay with me forever… …
I always love reading novels that centre around family dynamics and it’s actually one of the types of books that I look for the most. Gone are the days where I want to read about unrequited love all of the time; I want to read about families and the troubles or happiness that they go through. All the Ways the World Can End is one of those books. …
I was browsing through Netgalley as I hadn’t looked in absolutely aaggeeesss, and I stumbled across None of the Above, read the description and I was immediately intrigued. I had never read a book that had an intersex character as the protagonist before and the premise of the book sounded really interesting. …
I LOVED this book! It was just… wow… I can’t seem to get my brain together to write this review. I saw this book advertised about a year ago and I had read all of the hype that surrounded it. But when I looked on Amazon to buy it, it was £53 for the Audio CD and £35 for the hardcover. I was beat. But luckily, I waited and Nemesis was finally sent to me from the publisher so for that, I’ll be forever grateful! …
The main part of this novel that stood out to me was that it was set in Congo so I knew that diversity would be very very prominent within the book. With a 90% black cast with a handful of mixed race characters and a couple of white characters as well, this book explores racism, refugees and the war against the militia within Congo and surrounding areas. Whilst all of this is happening, this book also disguises itself as an action-packed thriller/mystery that will keep you on the edge of your seat. …
A debut novel set in the Roman Empire and fictionalises the battle between the Romans and the Germans… It sounds epic. It sounds amazing and it sounds bloody. It was definitely bloody. …
When I read the blurb of this book, it didn’t really seem that interesting or captivating, but I went into it anyway knowing that I could surprise me, and it really did. Paintbrush is Hannah Bucchin’s debut novel and she broke into the world of YA with a bang. This is a truly remarkable debut that will stay in my heart forever. …
