Malibu Rising was my most anticipated release of this year and I was not disappointed. At this point, I'm sure now that anything Taylor Jenkins Reid releases in the future is going to be a guaranteed five star read. I've read three of her novels now (Daisy Jones and The Six, The Seven Husbands of … Continue reading Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid – Review

One evening, when the kids are in bed, an older couple show up at the front door claiming to be the owners of the house.

Took me a while to get through these books this month as I was so busy with my final few weeks of university so there were no reviews for any of these books on the blog. Now it's summer I can hopefully read lots more! May was a very average reading month for me and … Continue reading May 2021 Wrap Up

Not the best reading month of the year so far. The UK came out of lockdown, university got a whole lot more intense and my reading suffered because of it. I'm trying not to be too hard on myself as it's possible that I won't be able to read as much as I have been … Continue reading April 2021 Wrap Up
"Oscar is studying me. He's making decisions already. I can feel this. Between our call and today he talked himself out of me, and now he is coming back around.

The shops reopened in the UK just under two weeks ago and I broke my book ban (oops!). Here's what I bought: Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 by Cho Nam-Joo Blurb: In a small, tidy apartment on the outskirts of the frenzied metropolis of Seoul lives Kim Jiyoung. A thirtysomething-year-old โmillennial everywoman,โ she has recently left … Continue reading The Shops Reopened!
Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this in exchange for an honest review. I really should start reading synopses more often because a lot of the books I've been picking up lately are nothing like I thought they would be - and this was no exception! Drawn in by the beautiful cover, … Continue reading The Thin Place by C D Major – Review
It's not often I give books below a two star rating but The Party by Robyn Harding was, to put it simply, bad. It reads as though somebody fleshed out a short story that had been written for a high school assignment into a 300 page novel. I found myself skim reading most parts after … Continue reading The Party by Robyn Harding – Review
