Everything to do with books! Mostly book reviews, but occasionally, I have the non-review bookish post too.
As it turns out, there are quite a few books on influencers. Break the Internet is somewhere between Swipe Up For More and Get Rich or Lie Trying in terms of how positive it is about influencers, which I guess makes it fitting that I read it last out of the three. As with Swipe… Read More Book Review: Break the Internet by Olivia Yallop
After the relatively positive image of influencers that I got in Swipe Up For More, I decided to take a turn towards the dark side of influencing. Just joking, I had Get Rich Or Lie Trying on my TBR for a while and the idea that it would be a contrast to Swipe Up For… Read More Book Review: Get Rich Or Lie Trying by Symeon Brown
Hello everyone! I’m trying something new on the blog this week. Since I read a bunch of books that were on the same thing pretty much one after the other (okay, I may have broken it up with some fiction reads), I decided to post them one after the other. On Friday, you’ll see an… Read More Book Review: Swipe Up For More! by Stephanie McNeal
Yes, I have read Book 4 in the Six Stories series! I may just go ahead and binge book 5 and 6, since it would be a pity for me to dive back into my TBR and forget about this series. In this new instalment of the Six Stories “podcast”, Scott King has travelled to… Read More Book Review: Beast by Matt Wesolowski
Well, this book has been very popular for a long time now and I finally read it, thanks to my boyfriend’s mum who loaned me her copy! I can see why A Man Called Ove is popular – it’s a heartwarming tear-jerker, very much like a feel-good movie. Ove, the titular character in this novel,… Read More Book Review: A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman
Happy Birthday, Singapore! I was going to take today off, but I realised I actually had a Singlit review and decided that today would be the perfect day to post it… even if my review isn’t wholly positive. I saw this book when the library was giving away books and decided to pick it up… Read More Book Review: Spectre by Verena Tay
A pretty long while back, my boyfriend was making a few purchases on Amazon and needed to buy one more thing to get free shipping. He asked me if I needed anything and for some reason, I thought: I want another Anthony Berkeley mystery. Berkeley’s mysteries are both inventive and hard to find in the… Read More Book Review: Jumping Jenny by Anthony Berkeley
Although I had quite a few books to read, I couldn’t stay away from the Six Stories series. So I borrowed the third book, Changeling, and was BLOWN AWAY. I am going to be talking about the series so far in general, so I would recommend you click away from this page right now if… Read More [Major Spoilers] Changeling by Matt Wesolowski
It took a while but I am back to the Dark is Rising sequence by Susan Cooper! The first book, Over Sea, Under Stone, felt like Enid Blyton with fantasy as we followed the Drew children on holiday as they get pulled into an adventure. The second book shifted to a darker tone pretty abruptly… Read More Book Review: Greenwitch by Susan Cooper
It brought a smile to my face to see that the blurb of the book ended with “this is a rare and joyful book” while the first line of the preface was “Now that I look back, I see that I have written with some anger.” Those are such different emotions that I wonder how… Read More Book Review: The Running Hare by John Lewis Stempel
