I had been waiting to read this book for over a year. I love fantasy, and I love books that feel like re-tellings, but aren’t? If you get what I mean… The Hazel Wood sounded so intriguing with its magical world, and from the synopsis, it kind of gave me a similar feeling to The Raven Boys – a whimsical world just a stretch away from ours. So because of that, and because of my love for The Raven Boys, I was so so so excited… …
Ahhhhh, the final book in the Graceling trilogy. Like the other two, I listened to Bitterblue on audiobook and it was soooooo good! I think it’s safe for me to say, but Bitterblue is my favourite book in the trilogy… Yes, I thought it was even better than Graceling and waaaaayy better than Fire. …
Everless is one of the books that I actually listened to on Audible. I’m always a bit apprehensive when I purchase an audiobook because it’s a lot money to waste on something that might have a narrator that you can’t connect with, and won’t be able to listen to for 10 hours. LUCKILY, I really liked the narrator for Everless. She made the story come to life and voiced the characters so well! …
I started the audiobook for Daughter of the Siren Queen straight after I finished the first book because I just couldn’t get enough of Alosa and her adventures. I am SO GLAD that I didn’t have to wait a year in between each book because I don’t know how I would have managed. …
I wasn’t actually EVER going to read this book. I’m not a massive fan of pirates, and I genuinely thought that it was a middle-grade novel. It is DEFINITELY NOT a middle-grade novel, and this novel takes the tropes of a pirate and flips them on their head. …
You know, I think it’s gotten to that point now where Neal Shusterman is one of my favourite authors. He just has this way of writing that has me completely engrossed. Thunderhead has got to be one of the best science fiction/dystopian novels that I have ever read. …
I’ve been looking out for more YA contemporary books about fat girls… Or even girls who aren’t comfortable with the size of their body or how they look. Because, I’m one of those girls, so I’m always on the lookout for good representation of this in YA. I’d heard a lot about Big Bones throughout the blogosphere and I was interested to see whether it was the type of book that I was looking for, so I decided to request a copy and see what I thought.
I have been waiting for this book for such a long time. I read the first book – Nemesis – about a year and a half ago, thinking that it was quite an old book and that it had been out for a long time. BUT NO! When I realised that it was a new release and that I had to wait over a year for the second book, I was so sad! But now, Genesis is here and boy, am I excited to share my thoughts with you. …
Hey, look! It’s another graphic novel review! And it’s another graphic novel that I requested from Netgalley! Except this graphic novel is so much different than to what I normally read in graphic novel format, and it definitely has a different artwork style than to what I’m used to. But hey. I like branching out when it comes to graphic novels, so I wanted to give Spectacle a go! …
I had to read this book for my monthly Waterstones book club, and guess what? I didn’t read it in time. I had read 80 pages, and at the book club, I was given spoilers for the rest of the book, but I wasn’t really that bothered. BUT! 1 week later, I finished it, and these are my thoughts… …
