Shadowman Volume 1: Fear of the Dark by Andy Diggle

Shadowman Volume 1: Fear of the Dark by Andy Diggle

Screen Shot 2018-07-03 at 17.35.38

I’ve seen so many good graphic novels get put on Netgalley, but I hardly ever request them. The first ones I ever requested were The Damned Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 by Cullen Bunn. It was a weird experience, having to squint to read the text, and having to zoom in on the images so you could look at the illustrations in all of their glorious detail, but it was still enjoyable. So now, whenever I see a graphic novel that looks interesting, I request it. …

April 2018 Book Haul

April 2018 Book Haul

So I kind of went a bit overboard for buying books in April… I think it was to make up for me NOT buying any in March because of lent. Like previous book hauls, this one is split into sections: graphic novels, manga, and then ‘normal’ books. There is normally an academic book section (because I have a tendency to buy A LOT of academic books), but this month, I didn’t buy any!

Anyway, let’s just get on with the haul… …

April 2018 Wrap Up

Hey, guys and welcome to my FIRST EVER MONTHLY WRAP UP POST! I always do them on my YouTube channel but I never considered doing it on my website because I didn’t really know what to include on here apart from what books I’ve read (obviously). But after some deliberation, I came up with a couple of ideas to give you guys some insight as to what’s going on in my life.

Anyway, let’s get on with the wrap up! …

Before I Let Go by Marieke Nijkamp

Before I Let Go by Marieke Nijkamp

Screen Shot 2018-07-03 at 17.46.01

This has been on my TBR ever since it came out. I was looking forward to reading Before I Let Go, because I enjoyed reading Nijkamp’s other book: This is Where it Ends (which is about a school shooting). After reading the blurb of BILG, it sounded very cliché, but sometimes clichés can be a good thing! So I opened my Kindle app, and started reading… …

Bad Girls with Perfect Faces by Lynn Weingarten

Bad Girls with Perfect Faces by Lynn Weingarten

Last time I read something by Lynn Weingarten was 3 years ago and it was Suicide Notes from Beautiful Girls. It was an ok book. Nothing amazing but it was entertaining. I saw that Weingarten had another book out and I was intrigued to see whether her writing style had developed and what new thrilling plots she would come up with this time. So I dived right in to Bad Girls With Perfect Faces… …

I had heard so many good things about this book, and I kept seeing it on the buy one get one half price section of Waterstones. So when I saw it on Netgalley, I instantly requested it and luckily, I was sent it! As soon as I had downloaded it, I started reading it straight away and it took me three hours to read – in one sitting. …

Oleanna by David Mamet

Oleanna by David Mamet

Oleanna was the last book that I had to read for university. Well… I say book, it’s a play that discusses the differences in power between men and women. It literally took me about half an hour to read, it was quite interesting. I didn’t understand a couple of things, but it was still an interesting read. …

She Felt Like Feeling Nothing by R.H Sin

She Felt Like Feeling Nothing by R.H Sin

Screen Shot 2018-07-04 at 15.41.36

I’m kind of getting into the groove of reading poetry lately… Maybe it’s because there’s a lot of it being published that’s aimed at teenagers and young adults, maybe it’s because I fancy something a little bit different. I don’t know. Nevertheless, I was intrigued by this poet that had come by way – R.H Sin. Apparently, he is a very well known poet with many fans saying how his contemporary poetry is magical. I was eager to see if I agreed. …
