Publication Date: 14 August 2018 Publisher: G.P. Putnam's Sons Genre: Literary Fiction Pages: 384 I love finding my five-star reads of the year, of which there are usually only a few.

Favourite Books of 2021 / Books I read in January 2022

Is it February of 2022 and I'm only just posting this? Yes, that's right, and it's been several months since my last post. All of this is irrelevant, please enjoy the post regardless. Favourite Books of 2021 I had less-than-average reading years in 2019 (14 books) and 2020 (5 books), so I was happy that …

Feminist Books On My TBR

I recently went through all of my unpublished drafts. Most were unpublishable, and some were just so old that they're now irrelevant. I found this one from 2018 and thought it was still relevant and interesting. I wrote it when I was writing a thesis closely related to feminism and wanted some feminist reads, so …

A Post About Books

I'll be honest, I have not enjoyed reading as much as I used to. I cannot remember how I consistently wrote blog posts about books, and especially how I reviewed them. That said, I have really liked most of the books I have read this year. So I am going to do a few mini …

Bon Voyage – The Books I’m Taking to Europe

Hi everyone! I know, I barely ever post anymore. How's life? I don't really have a good excuse for being so absent, unless writing a thesis, raising a puppy, and working a part-time job counts. In theory, I could have posted something, but, at the end of each day, I guess I preferred watching Netflix …

Again, But Better by Christine Riccio (review)

The Behind the Blogger Tag

Hey everyone! This is my first post of 2019. And it's almost March! I wasn't able to post until now because I've been writing up my masters thesis. It has probably been the most difficult / most annoying thing I've had to do in my life. Thankfully, I have handed in the first draft! It's …

The End of the Year Book Tag

Recently I was nominated by Ellyn @allonsythornaxx to do the End of the Year Book Tag! I haven't done a tag in a while and this one seems like perfect timing seeing as there are only a few weeks left of 2018.

Choosing My Halloween Read / Horror TBR

For Halloween this month, I have decided to read a horror book. I honestly know nothing about this genre of books because the only horror books I've read are Misery by Stephen King and a few Goosebumps books. I want some really terrifying books to read, so I compiled a list of five books that I would really like to read. I also have chosen one that I am definitely going to read by the 31st of October.
