Full Cast AudioPublisher: Audible AudioAge: AdultGenre: Contemporary RomanceFormat: AudiobookPublished: March 2nd, 2023 Rating: 3/5 Stars I found this to be a bit hit and miss – definitely one of those books where I think the characters became more likeable as we got to know them, but for a fair while they just felt a tadContinueContinue reading “Audiobook Review: Love at First Psych by Cara Bastone”

Book Review; The Truth According to Ember by Danica Nava
Format: PaperbackPublished: August 6th, 2024Age: AdultGenre: Contemporary Romance Rating: 4/5 Stars I really enjoyed this and can see why this book is so beloved, though please, Publishing Industry, give us more indigenous representation! It was a lot harder than I expected finding a book for this prompt and although it feels like romance is gettingContinueContinue reading “Book Review; The Truth According to Ember by Danica Nava”
Book Review: The Mercury in Me by Rachael Fernandes
Format: ebookPublished: June 6th, 2024Age: Young AdultGenre: Contemporary Romance Rating: 3/5 Stars Maybe I expected just a little too much from this one. It wasn’t bad, it just felt a touch flat in places, and I think Maya could have been a stronger character. Maya is just trying to get through Sixth Form so sheContinueContinue reading “Book Review: The Mercury in Me by Rachael Fernandes”

Book Review: Bookish: How Reading Shaped Our Lives by Lucy Mangan
Format: ebookPublished: March 13th, 2025Age: AdultGenre: Non-Fiction – Memoir Rating: 2/5 Stars Although there are some entertaining parts to Bookish, I found it overall more irritating than anything else. Where the author tries to come off as funny (I think), the humour often falls flat, feeling more judgemental or simply ignorant. This is a sequelContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Bookish: How Reading Shaped Our Lives by Lucy Mangan”
Book Review: Medusa’s Sisters by Lauren J.A. Bear
Format: ebookPublished: August 8th, 2023Age: AdultGenre: Fantasy Rating: 5/5 Stars I know others dislike it or think it overdone, but I really enjoy the ‘trend’ of Greek myth retellings (though I do think it’s not so much a trend now as just a…fantasy subgenre?). As a kid, I was obsessed with Greek mythology, reading anyContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Medusa’s Sisters by Lauren J.A. Bear”
Book Review: Black Victorians: Hidden in History by Keisha N. Abraham, John Woolf
Format: ebookPublished: September 1st, 2022Age: AdultGenre: Non-Fiction – History Rating: 5/5 Stars I’ve been able to read a few books more recently which set out to spotlight overlooked historical figures, and they’ve all been pretty great. This is no exception. Abraham and Woolf present these short biographies that show Victorian Britain really wasn’t as monolithicContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Black Victorians: Hidden in History by Keisha N.

Book Review: Match Me If You Can by Swati Hegde
Format: ebookPublished: June 4th, 2024Age: AdultGenre: Contemporary Romance Rating: 2/5 Stars I really wanted to like this so much more than I did! My frustrations with the book stem from issues that, in my very humble opinion, seem to be industry-wide in certain genres, and could have been resolved with tighter editing. It’s a shame,ContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Match Me If You Can by Swati Hegde”
