Sarah J. Maas – A Court of Mist and Fury
It’s official. I’m not the smartest person. 3 days to go on my 2017 book challenge and 5 books left to read, and I go and pick a book that’s more than 600 pages long. Unfortunately I think that might have tainted my appreciation slightly as I was so annoyed with myself, but I’ll try

Sarah J. Maas – Throne of Glass
I think the fact that I started this book 3 weeks ago probably gives you a good idea what I thought of it. It was only 400ish pages long, but it felt like a long hard slog to get to the end. The plot was just really slow and it felt like there was a

Sarah J. Maas – A Court of Thorns and Roses
I was recommended this book by one of the girls at the youth group I run on a Monday night. She’s only 12 so I had been putting off reading the book as I thought it might be a bit juvenile, but she’d mentioned it so many times that I thought I might as well

Harry Potter and the Four Week Re-Read
So at the beginning of last month, I realised that I was dreadfully behind on my reading challenge for this year – I wanted to read 52 books but I was stuck at 32. I knew I needed to get a few books under my belt, and what better way than with a Harry Potter

Brandon Sanderson – The Way of Kings
I think I’m a little bit in love with Brandon Sanderson. Scratch that. A lot in love. I honestly can’t believe that one man could write such epic stories again and again and again and never leave me disappointed. I’d love to see what goes on in his head, blooming amazing! And honestly a genuinely

Evelyn Skye – The Crown’s Game
Another book downloaded through Libby – I’m not sure what drew me to the book other than the mention of magic and the fact that it sounded a bit different to recent fantasy books I’ve read. The premise of the book sounded great, two young enchanters who would have to fight against each other to become

Brandon Sanderson – The Bands of Mourning
It seems like these Mistborn-era books just keep getting better and better. This one was filled with so much drama and so many plot twists that I feel like I’ve read an 800-page saga, not one that’s just over 400 pages. Sanderson has packed so much into such a short book (short for him at
-
Brandon Sanderson – Shadows of Self
Ahhhh Brandon Sanderson. Your books fill me with joy. I am constantly amazed by Sanderson and how he can write so many books but have them all be so flawlessly perfect. I’d love to know what goes on in his brain to be able to imagine the worlds that he does with all their infinite

J.K. Rowling – Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
I know, I know. I’ve read this book so many times. And with the amount of books on my to-be-read pile, I should probably make a dent in that rather than re-reading my favourites again – but it’s HARRY POTTER. And when I saw that it was free on Amazon Prime reading, I just couldn’t

Emily R. King – The Hundredth Queen
I’ve been really slack at this whole book review thing recently. I finished this book over a month ago, but I just haven’t been able to get the motivation to log on and write up my review. That’s no reflection on this book, which was absolutely great. As it’s been over a month since I

Charlaine Harris – Night Shift
I’m so very glad that I decided not to read this series as soon as it came out, because it’s been great being able to read three books back to back and not have to wait a year for each one to be released. This book definitely ramps up the excitement factor from the first
-
Charlaine Harris – Day Shift
After the end of the first book in this series, I didn’t even wait ten minutes to pick this up as I was desperate to find out more about the other characters in the town of Midnight, Texas. And I wasn’t disappointed. Although Manfred, Fiji and Bobo still seem to be the main characters in
-
Charlaine Harris – Midnight Crossroad
It’s no secret that I love Charlaine Harris, I think I’ve read over 30 of her books now. But this one has been out for a while and I’m not quite sure why I hadn’t bought it yet. Maybe I knew that once I started reading, one book wouldn’t be enough, because I bought the
-
J.K. Rowling – Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
Well I can’t really say anything at all about this book as I really don’t want to risk posting an accidental spoiler, so all I’ll say is that Rowling has hit the nail on the head once again. I’ve never really read a script before so I was a little worried that the format would
-
Victoria Aveyard – Red Queen
I don’t think I’ve had my heart played with recently as much as with this book. The dynamic of the love ‘quadrangle’ changed so dramatically and so often that I feared I might get whiplash. In a world where your status is determined by the colour of your blood; Mare, a lowly red blood, stands
