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”

That Dreaded TBR #27

Yep, another one. 5 more books, let’s see how well I do this time at getting rid of some on my Want to Read. I don’t think I’m doing too bad at the moment – the first book for today is number 66, but with 26 lots of 5 I’ve actually gone through 130 books!ContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #27”

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”

Book Review: Rebel Rose by Emma Theriault

Publisher: AutumnFormat: PaperbackRelease Date: November 26th, 2020 Rating: 3/5 Stars I was so excited for this series, especially as I’ve pretty consistently adored the Twisted Tales series of books.

Topic: 5 Star Anthologies

I love anthologies. They’re a great way of exploring a particular genre and theme, as well as discovering new authors or just reading a little more from favourite authors. I’m always on the look out for some good anthologies, but today I thought I’d highlight a few of my favourites from recent years. Black RainbowContinueContinue reading “Topic: 5 Star Anthologies”

Topic: Books I’d Love to See Adapted – Fantasy Edition!

Romance Edition My last post about this seemed fairly well received, so I thought I’d dive in again with some books I’d love to see either on the big or small screen, focusing this time on Fantasy. I absolutely love this genre, and I especially love seeing something new done in it. YA is reallyContinueContinue reading “Topic: Books I’d Love to See Adapted – Fantasy Edition!”

Graphic Novel Review: Secret Invasion

Publisher: Panini ComicsRelease Date: Feb 4th, 2009Genre: Sci-Fi Rating: 4/5 Stars Note to self for future: don’t try and read a Marvel comic such as Secret Wars #1, then read a Marvel cross-over event graphic novel such as Secret Invasion, then pick up something like Secret Wars #2. You will end up a little confused.ContinueContinue reading “Graphic Novel Review: Secret Invasion”

Blogmas Day 21: My Favourite Christmas Trope

Over the last year, I have been reading more Romance than I have previously. It was a genre I very much liked when I was younger, but it’s not one I had a proper chance to return to until this year. I’m loving the variety of different Romance books I’ve been reading, and absolutely loveContinueContinue reading “Blogmas Day 21: My Favourite Christmas Trope”
