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… …
I just can’t get enough of these books! If you read my review of Stalking Jack the Ripper, you will know that I absolutely loved it. I was lucky enough to read it at the right time as well because when I finished Stalking Jack the Ripper, Hunting Prince Dracula was to be released five days later, so as soon as it was released, I bought the audiobook and started listening to it straight away.
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. …
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… …
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. …
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. …
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. I’d already had to wait longer than I thought because I thought that the release date for The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue came out on the same date in both the U.S and the U.K. …
900 billion years later and I finally got the chance to read Cinder. I own all four books in the series and I’ve only just started reading them. WOW, KIRSTY. JUST… WOW. But I’ve finally read the first one and all I can say is that it was worth the wait. This is such an exceptional book and I cannot wait to read more about this world. …
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. …
