⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was very intrigued about this book and had seen it floating around on Instagram for a while before it found itself on my TBR shelf and then one day after I'd finished my last book I decided to pick it up because it was only a short novella (approx. 160 pages) and ended...

The Last by Hanna Jameson
-Quotation to come- ⭐️⭐️⭐️ The premise of this book hooked me immediately. The whole idea is that the world goes into nuclear war and cities across the world along with general infrastructure are destroyed. The focus is on a hotel in the middle of nowhere in Switzerland which has managed to avoid destruction. The remaining... Continue Reading →
What If It’s Us by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera
“I barely know him. I guess that is every relationship. You start with nothing and maybe end with everything.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A collab between Albertalli and Silvera? YES PLEASE. I think this might be the holy grail of YA novels. What a sweet novel this was. I'm never going to call this novel a piece of... Continue Reading →
The Bees by Laline Paull
“You have wings and courage and a brain. Do not annoy me by asking permission." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you're looking for a book wildly different and unique from anything you've ever read before, then look no further than The Bees. I literally couldn't compare this with anything. I bow down to Laline Paull's imagination and level... Continue Reading →
A Place Called Perfect by Helena Duggan
"Their years of imprisonment burned in their eyes, adding strength to their bones." ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Another middle grade (9-11 years) book onto my read list! I try to review these books against each other rather than generally and although this was readable, it didn't wow me. I felt that it was a bit predictable. I think... Continue Reading →
Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman
“I simply didn't know how to make things better. I could not solve the puzzle of me.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I'm not quite sure what I can say about this book which hasn't already been said. I tend to be a bit reluctant with extremely popular books like this because they never live up to the hype... Continue Reading →
Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore by Matthew J. Sullivan
“Something’s wrong in the air, you know, when a book costs less than a bullet." ⭐️⭐️ This book, I just don't know. The premise was very intriguing - a young man who visits the bookshop a lot is found hanged and leaves a trail behind for one of the employees to find. Unfortunately though, this... Continue Reading →
The Storm Keeper’s Island by Catherine Doyle
"As long as there is someone to remember you, you are never truly gone, and neither is your story." ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I mostly read middle-grade children's for the magic, there's nothing like it in adult novels! And that's why I loved books like Nevermoor and The Girl of Ink and Stars. But for some reason, The... Continue Reading →
Suicide Club by Rachel Heng
"..she thought there was something wrong with her because she sought the messy, sprawling innards of life, the flesh beneath the skin, the breakages." ⭐️⭐️⭐️ The premise of this book hooked me straight away. It's based on a future New York where the human race has almost achieved immortality, but only for the high classes... Continue Reading →
