Publisher: MarvelRelease Date: April 5th, 2006Genre: Superhero Comics Rating: 5/5 Stars Volume 1 Review I really liked the first volume of this so had high expectations going into the second and, you know what?

That Dreaded TBR #28
Let’s see if we can get rid of more books, shall we? Most of these have been, for a while, from August 2013, which seems like an exceptionally long time ago now. That was not a good month for me, so maybe I sought comfort by scrolling through Goodreads and pretending I actually had timeContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #28”

Book Review: Christmas with Hamish by Sophie Penhaligon
Format: DigitalRelease Date: October 27th, 2021 Rating: 3/5 Stars This one was okay, sitting firmly in ‘middling’ for books for me. It’s another of my 2021 festive reads, and I picked this up almost immediately after Humbug (which I loved), which was always going to be a tough act to follow! Verity’s sister is aContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Christmas with Hamish by Sophie Penhaligon”

Topic: Top Rated Classics
‘Classics’ are a very tricky topic of conversation, partly because some people seem to feel so passionately towards them! For me, I don’t think anyone HAS to read any so-called ‘Classics’ book, and it’s worth acknowledging sometimes what we define as a ‘Classic’ is non-inclusive. Still, before I got really into reviewing, I did manageContinueContinue reading “Topic: Top Rated Classics”
