I have now had a Kindle for seven months and I absolutely love it. When I first received it as a present as a present from my work colleagues, I was a bit hesitant, because I was rather attached to reading paperbacks. But my Kindle is now my No.1 accessory, and for me it just … Continue reading My Top Kindle Highlights
Like so many fellow readers, my TBR list is forever growing. Every time I enter a bookstore (which is pretty often!), it increases, so I thought it would be a good idea to share some of them with you. I have no idea when I am likely to get around to reading some of these, … Continue reading Five Books On My TBR – April 2018
Another week has just come to an end, so naturally I have just finished another book and it is time again to write a review! And this one is going to be a little longer than normal, for the book I am discussing today will stay with me for some time. I was only introduced … Continue reading Book Review – Bone By Bone by Sanjida Kay
Hello, everyone! I hope you have all had an excellent week! Mine has been really busy - one where balancing full-time work with blogging and reading was especially difficult. If only there were more hours in the day... Although time can be an obstacle, and I can be less productive that I would like to … Continue reading Goodreads Challenge Update – April 2018
Pages: 402Published: 1st January 2017Genre: Mystery/Thriller This is a book that I came across in the library, and after taking a look at the cover and seeing some very rich praise from one or two of my favourite authors, I decided that it would be worth a read.

I have had a lot of tangled thoughts on this, so I should probably get them down and write some kind of analysis! For most of the books … Continue reading Do Likeable Characters Help Make Better Books?

It was difficult to choose which one to begin with, but I ultimately settled on Naliyah, as I was taken by the Goodreads synopsis, and would act as … Continue reading Book Review – Naliyah by Shauna Kelley
I came up with the idea for this post after noticing a curious pattern in a lot of the books that I have read during the last few months: The same character names keep appearing, almost from book to book. So I have mainly been reading domestic or psychological thrillers, which means that most characters … Continue reading The Same Names
Pages: 400Published: 28th July 2016Genre: Thriller I decided to give this book a go after reading the synopsis on the back of the cover, where it also said that it would be an ideal read for fans of Clare Mackintosh and C.L. Taylor. That's not wrong. I found it to be a very enjoyable and … Continue reading Book Review – No Turning Back by Tracy Buchanan
At the beginning of the year I set myself the target of reading 45 books in 2018, and so far I am progressing really well. I am prioritising reading like never before! So much so that I have sacrificed some interesting television, some of my less important writing, and a little bit of my already … Continue reading A Classic Read
