In June, S chose my TBR and he made some great choices for me this month. Unfortunately, I barely got any of them read because this was a really slow reading month for me. I've been struggling with constant exhaustion and headaches, which has just meant reading wasn't as much of a priority as it... Continue Reading →
Book Review: We Are Young by Cat Clarke
We Are Young starts right in the middle of the action as someone calls the emergency services from the site of a car crash. It’s horrific. There are details that I may never erase from my brain. It hooks you in. There were four people in the car, and only one survives. The story then... Continue Reading →

Book Review: A Grey Sun by S. J. Sherwood
A Grey Sun (book 1 in the Denounced Series) starts with Ned facing execution for being Denounced: “In less than an hour, my life will end.” It’s a gripping start; it’s always emotional to read about a character who knows their own death is imminent. The guard, Jack, gives some comfort to Ned, but the... Continue Reading →
Book Review: My Box-Shaped Heart by Rachael Lucas
Holly and Ed meet in a swimming pool, which is awkward because they are both wearing “almost no clothes”. Not-so-interesting side tale – I met my closest friend’s husband for the first time whilst in my swimwear, and I can attest to this being all the kinds of awkward. Holly goes to the pool because...

Book Review: Who Let The Gods Out? by Maz Evans
Who Let the Gods Out? is hands down one of the most hilarious books I have read in my life. I spent half my reading time texting lines to my lovely pal Steph and glamorously snort-laughing on the train. I even earned myself a few tuts and eyerolls in the Quiet Coach. It is the story...
