welcome to my library
People all over the country have been putting pictures of rainbows up in their windows and outside their houses in order to cheer everyone up in these not-so-great times, so I thought I'd do my part and try and cheer you all up with a book for every colour of the rainbow! I've done both… Continue reading A Book For Every Colour of the Rainbow
To Kill a Kingdom by Alexandra Christo I absolutely LOVED To Kill A Kingdom. I’m a huge fan of retellings done well, and this bewitching dark retelling of the little mermaid was both brilliant and felt different to the original. The main thing to take away from this review was I had great fun reading… Continue reading To Kill a Kingdom Review
Here we are again, the end of another month. And what a month March has been! Coronavirus, social distancing, self-isolating, lockdown and no toilet roll (I'm still confused as to why it was toilet roll that people decided to hoard.) Amongst the chaos I have not done a lot of reading, I actually read double… Continue reading March 2020 Round-up
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid I ordered The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo from the library after seeing a recommendation on twitter for F/F February. I didn’t read the synopsis, just went and ordered it, so when it arrived I was a little apprehensive as it isn’t the kind of… Continue reading The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo Review
Enchantée by Gita Trelease Enchantée is a YA historical fantasy, in which Gita Trelease takes us back to revolution era France. The hardest bit about writing this review was definitely finding the é, I searched Word for so long before it occurred to me that I could just google it. I have literally no tech… Continue reading Enchantée Review

They follow the adventures of ex-FBI agent Kendra Donovan after she is somehow transported back to 1815. A Twist in Time is the second book… Continue reading A Twist in Time Review
A Smuggler's Path by I.L.Cruz I was very kindly gifted a copy of A Smuggler’s Path in advance of the blog tour for A Noble’s Path. The blurb reads: In Canto, magic is a commodity, outlawed by the elites after losing a devastating war and brokered by smugglers on the hidden market. But some know… Continue reading A Smuggler’s Path Review
Letting Go by Cat Clarke When I ordered this book from the library, I was expecting a full-length book. It turned out to be a novella, which was a surprise but it did make a nice short read. From the blurb I just really wanted to know how Agnes got herself into her situation. Letting… Continue reading Letting Go Short Review
So here we are again. The end of a month, where I round up my favourite books of the month/ scream into the void hoping it will choose the books for me. Since it is a leap year so February has an extra day, and also because I can do whatever I like on my… Continue reading February 2020 Round-Up
The Places I've Cried in Public by Holly Bourne I have loved every single one of Holly Bourne’s books I have read, so on picking this one up I knew it would leave me an emotional wreck. The story follows Amelie, a musically talented year 12 who moves from the north to south of England… Continue reading The Places I’ve Cried in Public Review
