welcome to my library
Here we are again, another monthly roundup! I have literally just written the May 2020 Roundup, so it feels a little strange to be writing June's directly after. However, I'm on a blog post writing roll and have a scheduled post for the first time in a couple of months so I'm just going for… Continue reading June 2020 Roundup
'Bee, why am I reading a May Roundup in July?' I hear you ask. Well, funny story that's not actually that funny. I consistently forgot about this post all the way through June and my perfectionism hates the idea of missing a month, so we're about to take a look at the top 5 books… Continue reading May 2020 Roundup
Hello and welcome to my April 2020 round-up! I honestly cannot believe it’s the end of April already and we are all stuck inside watching the weather through our windows. This is not how I thought 2020 was going to go, but I’m trying to make the best of the situation. I’ve been writing daily… Continue reading April 2020 Round-Up
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
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
Dry by Neal and Jarrod Shusterman I first saw Dry in Waterstones months ago, and I was super excited when it finally came into the library! I don’t know if this is a good idea or a bad idea, reviewing a disaster scenario book given the current circumstances, but at least this one is climate-change… Continue reading Dry Review
A Twist in Time by Julie McElwain (Picture from Goodreads since I read it as an ebook) The Kendra Donovan Mysteries are, in my humble opinion, a hugely underrated series. 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
Sword and Pen by Rachel Caine Having finished the previous one in this series January 2019, I was very excited because I loved this series but also had no idea what’s going on. Thankfully within the first chapter I was reacquainted with the characters of the series, as well as The Great Library of Alexandria… Continue reading Sword and Pen review
Wool by Hugh Howey Wool is the first adult sci-fi book I’ve read in a while, and it did NOT disappoint. I had been putting it off because I was a bit (a lot) intimidated by its thickness but I am now very annoyed that I didn’t pick it up sooner! As I write this… Continue reading Wool Review
Gemina by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman I LOVED THIS BOOK. First, a bit of context/ raving about the series as a whole. The key to this entire series is the format. Told through online messaging, transcripts, AI dialogue and other reports, there is not a single stream of narrative, which is what makes these… Continue reading Gemina Review
