Books clubs provide a positive environment for a love of literature, as well as bringing together a community to learn about and discuss something that matters to them: books! Being part of a book club can help you gain a new perspective, or just allow you to rant about books you love and hate with …
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 …

Turtles all the Way Down by John Green- a review
So... Turtles all the Way Down. John Green. A crazy pack of John Green fangirls that will not hesitate to beat me if i say anything bad about his writing. These loyal fangirls are one of my greatest fears I won't deny, HOWEVER while I am quivering in my imaginary boots right now I am …

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 …
7 Books I Want to Read in 2020
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 …
The House at Sea’s End – Elly Griffiths
I've been reading quite slowly recently, so I haven't been able to get as many reviews out. Its also nearly Christmas (!!!!!!!!!!) so I have been busy with family and friends etc. However I am hoping to get at least one more review out -after this one- before the new year, as well as some …
Yes I did just dedicate a post to Vines
Even though Vine is long dead, I, amongst others, am still mourning the great loss of this generation. The amount of times I quote them daily is probably enough to be concerned about, but I can assure you I will be quoting these until the day I die. In fact I strive for my dying …
