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. Even though we have now run out of Penhallow brothers, I’m hoping we get more Graves Glen books, or books set in the same world. EitherContinueContinue reading “Book Review: The Wedding Witch by Erin Sterling”
Audiobook Review: Love at First Psych by Cara Bastone
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: 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”
