So after reading Blue Monday and being in two minds about how I feel about the ending, I decided to read the next book in the series, Tuesday’s Gone, and decided that… yeah I’m liking these books so far! Tuesday’s Gone starts off with a very strange case: a woman with mental illness is found… Read More Book Review: Tuesday’s Gone by Nicci French
This is quite unlike me, but I actually went and borrowed another Nicci French book after finishing The Unheard. I’m not sure why I did it, because I’ve got so much on the TBR (and physical books to read too!) but I guess I was really in the mood for a thriller. And that may… Read More Book Review: Blue Monday by Nicci French
I’ve read the second book in the Skulduggery Pleasant series and I’m happy to report it’s only taken me a month or so! In my review of the first book, I mentioned that the story reads like the final book in the series. Playing with Fire, on the other hand, is an adventure that sets… Read More Book Review: Playing with Fire by Derek Landy
Aeons ago, while I was still taking piano lessons, I used to borrow books from my piano teacher. One of those books was Skulduggery Pleasant, but because it’s been ages, I’ve more or less forgotten what it’s all about. However, Abi of Pellinor has been rereading and reviewing the Skulduggery Pleasant series and her review… Read More Book Review: Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy
The alternate title of this book should be “All truth with malice in it”, since it seems to be a refrain for many of the characters. In A Better Man, Gamache is feeling the effects of his actions in Kingdom of the Blind. He’s accepted a demotion to the post of Chief Inspector, a position… Read More Book Review: A Better Man by Louise Penny
Hi friends! It’s going to be a bit of a different post today because I’ll be talking about the Ever After High trilogy by Shanon Hale! And mostly this might just be me fangirling over the books – you have been warned. If you haven’t heard of Ever After High, it’s a series that started… Read More Not Just for Kids: Why You Should Read Ever After High if You Love Fairytales
I took the unprecedented step of borrowing a Discworld novel recently. I normally buy them because they are great for re-reads, but I was craving something new and funny and hadn’t had the time to go to the bookshop (the nearby library has a lot more books too). In The Truth, Ankh Morpork has finally… Read More Book Review: The Truth by Terry Pratchett
This is a long overdue continuation of me reading the Anne of Green Gables series. I suppose I have some issues continuing books after huge events (or just before) because the sheer excitement and anticipation backfires and makes me too nervous to read the book. In Anne’s House of Dreams, Anne and Gilbert finally get… Read More Book Review: Anne’s House of Dreams by L.M. Montgomery
I first heard about the Raven’s Mark series when the Orangutan Librarian reviewed Crowfall, the third in the series. It sounded amazing and I immediately made a mental note to borrow the first book someday. Well, the someday is here (and sooner than some other book I have on my TBR list) and you know… Read More Book Review: Blackwing by Ed McDonald
Wodehouse is fast becoming a comfort read, along with Miss Read’s series of books. But while I read Miss Read for the charm of old-time rural England, Wodehouse appeals for the sense of humour that suffuses his works. Joy in the Morning has Bertie Wooster endeavouring to evade marriage (again) and the wrath of his… Read More Book Review: Joy in the Morning by P.G. Wodehouse
