The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides

Hiiii, I'm back after a short interlude of not posting, and I can't be more excited to be getting back to reviewing 😀 Ohhhhhh I understand now why this book is getting so much buzz: it is dangerously impossible to put down. DO NOT (and I repeat, DO NOT) read this book if you want …

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine – a review

I loved this book. Far more than I had expected to if I'm honest, even though I had heard so many great things about it. It had just never seemed like something that I would enjoy reading, but when I saw it in the library, I thought I would give this highly-praised book a try. …

Grief is The Thing With Feathers – a review

Hello! 🙂 I read Grief is the Thing With Feathers by Max Porter, and I really wanted to write a review for it that would do it justice, so its taken me a while to get it out. Its a book that is truly one-of-a-kind: part story, part poem, part stream of consciousness. It tells …

The Wind Up Bird Chronicle – Haruki Murakami

FINALLY. I AM DONE WITH THIS BOOK. I've been swimming in the unhinged words of Murakami since early December, and I think I was beginning to lose brain cells from the absolute lunacy that his work is. I was determined to finish it though, and I am so happy that I finally have 😀 The …

a kind of review of a book of poems

Now We Are Sixty (and a bit) by Christopher Matthew. I didn't think this would be the first book I finished in 2020, but it seems that it is. Honestly, I'm not sure why I read it. I'm in entirely the wrong demographic, as it is aimed to the audience of ageing men, I have …

2019 Reading Wrap up.

For me, 2019 has been an excellent year in regards to reading. It began with me still very much a YA reader, and as it went on I slowly discovered I found more love within Adult Fiction. That being said, YA still holds a very fond place in my heart, and on my bookshelf. My …

I have a good feeling about next year. I'm looking forward to it for many reasons, and the books I hope to read is one of them. I really want to push myself in the new year to delve outside of my comfort zone in terms of reading. I don't anticipate that I will love …

What a Miracle it is

For some of us, books are as important as almost everything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world after world: worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet or excite you. Books help us understand who we are and how …
