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. …
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. …
