Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. This week’s theme is: June 19: Books to Read By the Pool/At the Beach… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Books that make great summer reads
*Pointedly ignores the fact that we’re halfway through May* So I’m hoping to finally get to some books that have been on my TBR for the past two months. (Or in the case of Children of Blood and Bone, actually finish it.) Almost all of these are YA, so it’s going to be a pretty young… Continue reading May 2018 TBR
It’s finally October, and everyone’s getting excited about Halloween and planning their spooky reads…except me. Unpopular opinion alert: I’m not fussed about Halloween. Don’t get me wrong, I love carving pumpkins and greeting trick or treaters, but I don’t usually dress up (I prefer to be cosy in pjs or a jumper) and I don’t… Continue reading October 2017 TBR (Or the spooky month where I’m reading absolutely zero spooky books, oops)

So we’re already a few days into September (five haha) and I’ve been struggling to decide what to read this month. I mean Empire of Storms is a given. I’m going to buy and read that book no matter what. And I also want to finish Passenger by Alexandra Bracken because I was already about a… Continue reading September TBR
“The less you say, the more weight your words will carry.” I was caught between 3.5 and 4 stars when rating this book, but I eventually rounded it up to 4, because while it had flaws, I didn’t feel it suffered from the dreaded ‘sequel slump’. The story continues on from where we left off, with… Continue reading Book review: Siege and Storm
“Normal is the Holy Grail and only those without it know its value.” It’s been a long time since I read a book that I thought could be easily described in one word. Beautiful. This book epitomises beautiful. The narrative is beautiful. Grace’s perspective of the world is beautiful. Even the way social conventions and… Continue reading Book review: One
I’m uploading this a few days late because I’m on holiday in France at the moment, and have been spending some time away from my laptop, enjoying the sun. It’s lovely to have a break from being on a laptop or computer, because I do often feel I spend too much time at one or the… Continue reading August TBR
“I bit my lip to keep it from trembling; he’d let me go a long time ago. After all, you can only hold one person tight if you’re holding on with both hands.” The Girl from Everwhere was the last book I managed to finish for TBRTakedown 4.0, and after reading the synopsis I was hoping… Continue reading Book review: The Girl from Everywhere
“For one wild second all I could see was the stars and all I could think of was the foolishness of immortal things who’d never seen death and so didn’t know to fear it.” Where do I begin with this book. This book was everything. This book HAD everything. The story follows Amani, a young… Continue reading Book review: Rebel of the Sands
