Book Review: Wish You Were Her by Elle McNicoll
Format: ebookPublished: August 26th, 2025Age: Young AdultGenre: Contemporary Romance Rating: 1/5 Stars I really struggled with this one, and if it wasn’t so close to the end of the year, it would have been a DNF. Allegra Brooks is an incredibly famous actress after starring in an implied romantasy TV show. Looking for a normalContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Wish You Were Her by Elle McNicoll”

Book Review: The Wedding Witch by Erin Sterling
Format: PaperbackPublished: October 15th, 2024Age: AdultGenre: Paranormal Romance Rating: 4/5 Stars I enjoyed this, though not quite as much as the previous two books in the Graves Glen series.

EitherContinueContinue reading “Book Review: The Wedding Witch by Erin Sterling”

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”
