Format: ebookPublished: May 7th, 2024Age: AdultGenre: Historical – LiteraryGoodreads Rating: 3/5 Stars This wasn’t a bad book, but it’s much more introspective, character and atmosphere driven than I usually like. I found it to be quite meandering; although it’s relatively short it felt like it took a long while to get anywhere, and the endingContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Whale Fall by Elizabeth O’Connor”

That Dreaded TBR #63
I feel like I’m on a bit of a roll with these, and managing to get the TBR down, though very, very slowly. Still, it is getting there, and I can’t believe I’m not far off the 70th instalment of this.

Top Ten Tuesday: Writing Errors
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. I’m deviating from the prompt this week. The actual promptContinueContinue reading “Top Ten Tuesday: Writing Errors”
