This was a really awesome book! It was one that I randomly picked up from the bookshelf for lack of something to read. I really enjoyed it because of the pace of the story, the way the emotion depicted by the authors words was felt by me. This wasn't exactly a challenging read but it was … Continue reading Lightning Girl-Alesha Dixon
This book is hilarious! It was sort of a bit like Captain Underpants (my parents will probably sigh when they read this). I would definitely describe this book as a very easy read, though still a very enjoyable one. It's very humorous though still delivers quite a serious message. That message is... "Being small doesn't … Continue reading Killer vending machines wrecked my lunch!- Matt Brown
Over the last few years happiness seems to be in vogue. There are dozens of books providing self-help advice on how to be happy. Everything from "letting go" to "seizing the moment" is prescribed. Most of these are quite shallow - filling out a few hundred pages by repeating the same single theme multiple times … Continue reading The Happiness Curve – Jonathan Rauch
This book is one I have been wanting to read for years, however the age group was never appropriate for me. So on finally being allowed to read this book, I read ferociously and as usual with Roald Dahl I wasn't disappointed. I love his autobiography! I love his witty writing style and adore his … Continue reading Going Solo-Roald Dahl
This was the first school library book that I have ever properly got into. I read the first book back in 2018. So 1 year later, here I am finally writing the review of the sequel as well. These books are not challenging at all, however, they make for an extremely enjoyable read. The sequel is quite … Continue reading The Wild Robot Series-Peter Brown
This is one of the oddest books I have read. Some bits of the plot and the main character are a bit strange but the overall story is still extremely gripping and thought-provoking. Interestingly the story starts with the ending. You already know WHAT has happened but then you spend the next 600 pages discovering … Continue reading A Prayer Owen Meany- John Irving
As you can tell (if you have read my recent reviews) these murder books are really captivating me.I have read 6 of the books, still some reviews due, and they have not bored me once. Robin Stevens style is one that I as a reader I have never encountered before. It is wonderfully fun and … Continue reading Death in the spotlight -Robin Stevens
This book was not the book that I was meant to read in the series of Murder Most Unladylike. I was meant to read the third book but I didn’t really miss anything by not reading the right book. This book is very different to the others in the series.This is because it was a … Continue reading A spoonful of murder-Robin Stevens
I will admit upfront that this is a slow book and it took me a long time to plod my way through it. Especially the middle third of the book is unbearably tedious as Eliot goes into the minute inconsequential details of the daily lives of the key characters. Having finished the book, I was dragging … Continue reading Middlemarch-George Eliot
The Dreamsnatcher is one of those enthralling books which you can not put down until the very last page. This was one of the first of many books on my summer reading list, it provided a kick start to my summer and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This book follows the tale of 12 year … Continue reading The Dreamsnatcher-Abi Elphinstone
