I was so looking forward to this readathon; a full week with the excuse to read constantly. Ahead of the week I had tried to empty my week as much as possible so that I could really dedicate myself to this week of reading. However, as its past midday on day 4 that I’m even getting round to updating this says just how badly this readathon is going for me. Lets hope I can pull it back together.

Ah, this is just feeling so good, I am almost 100% back to my reading self. This is the second month that has gone fabulously well for reading, I’d say even more so than November! And I find that’s pretty surprising with Christmas and all the busy things that come along with that. Then again, I’m not as busy as others, and Christmas for my family involves a lot of doing what you want to do. Continue reading “December Wrap Up”
YAY, its time for another readathon. I absolutely loved the minimoji readathon that I did the other month, so thought I might as well join in on the Bout of Books one!! I’m so excited to get started; but I have to wait till it starts on the 8th of January (the day this goes out actually). This is a week long readathon, that is very relaxed from my understanding; the only goal is to reach your own goal and read more than you normally would. Personally, I find this quite challenging as I’m terrible at setting my own goals, but going to give it a go never the less. So lets look at what I might read. Continue reading “Bout of Books TBR”
So very rarely do I actually manage to stick to a TBR. I’ve found that lately I am just such a mood reader; if I pick each book one at a time then I can get through so many more books than if I try to stick to a set TBR. Therefore, this year my TBRs are going to be books that I feel that I may want to read in that month, and then my wrap ups will tell you what actually happened. Should be fun to see just how good I am at guessing my mood for the month. Continue reading “January TBR”
Well this is going to be a little embarrassing… After the success of August I seemed to of fallen of the wagon a little, and fell into a little bit of a reading slump- BOO!! However, I have many thanks for the Banned Book-athon, which seems to of broken me out of it pretty quick… Continue reading “September Wrap Up & Banned-Bookathon”
As normal, I’d like to start this review by thanking Titan books for sending me this such exciting sounding novel early for review. The concept although not diversely different from some other thrillers I have seen, was still enough to have me drawn in and want to see what it was a about… Continue reading “The Vanishing Year by Kate Moretti”
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”
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.
So I do rarely do this sort of post as, for a general rule, I read one book at a time- well other than the odd non-fiction on the side. But, as you can probably tell (as hey I am writing this post..), that has changed!! Since finishing Ben Kane’s Hunting the Eagles, I have been in what I think is my biggest ever reading slump- I want to read, but just can’t find a book I can really get into. Hence the starting many books… So here we go, this is what I am reading.. Continue reading “#CurrentlyReading”
