Hello! I’m back from my break (which I talked a bit about in my substack – I’ve been using that space to do quick diary-style entries!). This week, I’ll be sharing some reviews themed around the past, and then next week it will probably go back to regular reviews with set theme. It’s been a… Read More Book Review: The Riddle of St Leonard’s by Candace Robb
It has been a really long time since my last review of the Waiting for Wednesday, the previous installment in the Freida Klein series, and that’s mainly because my library’s e-copies of the book lapsed and I waited a really long time for them to get it again (guess they noticed I never cancelled my… Read More Book Review: Thursday’s Child by Nicci French
I have seen the first book of the Emily Wilde series, Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Fairies EVERYWHERE on the blogosphere and probably on bookstagram as well. And because I’ve always been interested in folklore and fairies, the book caught my eye. But also because I’m not generally a romance person, I’ve also procrastinated on reading… Read More Book Review: The Emily Wilde Books (Book #1 & #2) by Heather Fawcett
I’ve given up counting books in the Chrestomanci series because clearly my library and other sources number them differently but I’m sure that The Lives of Christopher Chant is not one of the books I’ve read yet. If you’re familiar with the “current” Chrestomanci who appears in Charmed Life (the first book in the series),… Read More Book Review: The Lives of Christopher Chant by Diana Wynne Jones
Is this sixth story the end of the Six Stories series??? I would hope not but I have to say that this is a fitting end to a series that I enjoyed SO MUCH. Six Stories has never shied away from difficult “cases” – a girl who murdered her family, a pop star accused of… Read More Book Review: Demon by Matt Wesolowski
I really, really can’t stay away from the Six Stories series. Deity is the fifth book in the series and I’ll probably finish the last book before the month is out! What can I say – this essentially has six long “chapters” and although I would ordinarily find the chapters long, each chapter/episode is so… Read More Book Review: Deity by Matt Wesolowski
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
It took a while, but I’ve read the next book in the Freida Klein series. Almost a year ago, I finished Tuesday’s Gone and decided that I was liking the series and wanted to read more. Following the days of the week, Waiting for Wednesday has Freida on the precipice of collapse. Hal Bradshaw has… Read More Book Review: Waiting for Wednesday by Nicci French
I will be frank, I initially had no intention of reading The Man Who Died Twice because while the first book was fun, I had not followed the author and didn’t know the second book was already out, and anyway, I found the ending of the first book rather hard to follow and didn’t fancy… Read More Book Review: The Man Who Died Twice by Richard Osmand
I’m continuing with the What Katy Did series since I have the first three books! What Katy Did at School is a direct continuation of What Katy Did, and so will have spoilers for the first book. At the end of What Katy Did, Katy has recovered from her prolonged illness and can finally stand… Read More Book Review: What Katy Did at School by Susan Coolidge
