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”

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”
