So as soon as I realised there was going to be another book in the same setting I was the most excited I had been for a long time. I pre-ordered it instantly and basically... Continue Reading →

I’ve been working my way through the Three Dark Crowns series over the last year or so, since YALC 2017 and in anticipation of the end of the series which I believe is happening this year. I was therefore delighted to find that the novella/prequel The Young Queens was available on my Library’s... Continue Reading →
In the Pines, Erik Kriek – Book Review
Morning mortals! Today I'm reviewing another graphic novel, I think the last time I did this was back when I reviewed Nimona, my first foray into all things illustrated. Since then I've been keeping my eyes open for fun/interesting graphic novels and comics. In the Pines definitely fits that particular bill (the latter, I'm not sure I... Continue Reading →

Review – The Chilbury Ladies’ Choir, Jennifer Ryan
This is a book about hope, about that great British spirit we're taught about in schools, about loss, about music and about secrecy. I began this book thinking I was going to leave a wholly negative review. The book is comprised of a series of letters, diary entries and newspaper clippings. This isn't a particularly...
