That Dreaded TBR #4
Yep, it’s that time again. I’ve caught up on my reviews for the blog, so thought I’d do another of these. It seems to be going well, but a quick glance over the next five shows I might not be successful this time! Part One / Part Two / Part Three I originally saw thisContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #4”
The Black Kids – Christina Hammonds Reed [Books]
Genre: YA – Historical/Contemporary Publisher: Simon & Schuster Children’s UK Rating: As the end of high school nears, Ashley and her friends spend more time away from school than in it.

When Punk Rocked – Andy Francis [Books]
Genre: Non-Fiction – History – Reference Publisher: Wymer Publishing Rating: This book gets 5 Stars because it does exactly what it needs to, and presents information in a fun but informative way and what else could you really ask for from a reference book? This is another book I picked up for research purposes, and it’s veryContinueContinue reading “When Punk Rocked – Andy Francis [Books]”

June 2020 Reading Wrap Up [Books]
January / February / March Part 1 / March Part 2 / April Part 1 / April Part 2/ May Part 1 / May Part 2 In the Before Times, I would have been really happy with having read 8 books in a month. Now, I’m happy I ‘only’ read 8, because after hitting double digitsContinueContinue reading “June 2020 Reading Wrap Up [Books]”
The Never Tilting World – Rin Chupeco [Books]
Genre: Fantasy Publisher: HarperTeen Rating: First, I absolutely loved this book. Second, I have no idea why it’s noted as ‘Frozen meets Mad Max’ in the Goodreads summary. The ‘Mad Max’ aspect I totally get. But Frozen? Why? Because it’s…sisters? This book is more akin to Final Fantasy, in really good ways. It’s got theContinueContinue reading “The Never Tilting World – Rin Chupeco [Books]”
That Dreaded TBR #3
It has been way too long since I did this – the last one was back in November. But since then I’ve been trying to catch up and keep ahead of the reviews. And now I’m in a position where I don’t currently have reviews to write for the blog. Weird. Anyway, Part 1 andContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #3”
