Here I go again, I think I have the readathon bug!! I didn’t do very well at all, which I will talk about further in my wrap up later, but it has made me want to try another readthon. So as you do, I googled and found that the 7 in 7 readathon started yesterday, so ha why not jump in a day late… Continue reading “7 in 7 Readathon TBR”
This has been the hardest review for me to write. I just can not come up with the words to describe just how well written, developed and unique this novel was. So lets start by thanking the lovely Titan books for sending me this gorgeous book to read and review, thank you. Continue reading “This Savage Song- V.E Schwab”
Well this is a very last minute post as I have only just decided that I am going to attempt to participate in the BooktubeAThon 2016! I have never done a readathon, so this will be a brand new experience for me, but as its looking like I’m going to be off work again tomorrow, that give me plenty of time to read- with the exception of Friday and Sunday. I have formed this TBR following the reading challenge that have been set, however I do highly doubt I will get through them all….So the first challenge is ‘Read a book that has yellow on the cover’. For this I have chosen Terry Pratchett’s ‘Colour of Magic’, as nearly the whole cover is in fact yellow.
June was a highly successful reading month for me, reading a total of 6 books. I seem to of fallen into a YA fantasy mood lately so other than my first book, they were all in this genre- plus most of my July TBR is also. As I have said previously, I am not normally one for setting a TBR as I’m very much a mood reader, and like to choose what I read when it comes to it. But I have decided to set a flexible TBR in order to keep myself focused… Continue reading “June Reading Wrap up & July TBR”
FINALLY, the reading slump is over! MY little plan of reading children’s books appears to have worked and just in time- I have a stack of arcs to get through. I managed to complete four books during the month of May, admittedly, 3 were children’s books, but still.. Continue reading “May Reading Wrap up”
I begin this post by thanking Norton Books for sending me this lovely ARC, it was much appreciated. Written from the point of view of a autistic man, this book was both highly unique and intriguing as I had never read anything quite like it before. I gave this novel 4 out of 5 stars, but to be fair I’d say it was more like a 4.5-it had me gripped from the first chapter, and truly feeling sorry for Todd.. Continue reading “‘Best Boy’ a novel by Eli Gottlieb”
I want to start this review by thanking Titan books for sending me an early review copy, it was very much appreciated and I enjoyed the book. This was a quirky detective novel, which evolved to become a bit of a reversed murder mystery. However I’m not going to lie, I did feel it had some rather large negatives.
Yes it has finally happened- I am back to paid employment. I have been aiming for this for quite a while, and kept hitting a brick wall when it came to getting permission; but now I have got myself a part time job working somewhere I think I am really going to enjoy. This is just another step in getting my life back together to the place I want to be; and I am so happy that this is happening, that I have an excuse to leave the house, be productive, and ha earn some extra money… Continue reading “Getting back to Work..”
I’ve been saying it more and more each month, but April was by far the worst month of the year reading wise for me- I finished ONE book! That’s it, only one! However I would like to place the blame of only reading one book, on that one book; it was by far the best book I have read this year, and therefore nothing else has been good enough to follow it. But I’m not going to let this continue for another month- I have a plan…
After a few very negative posts recently I thought it was about time I did a positive one, and it could not of come at a better time. Everything seems to be going in my favour lately, and I think that things are probably the best that they have been for a couple of years- some of these things are just small, but to me they are a huge step in the right direction.
