Oh my god, Harry Potter is 20 years old today. That is insane. I first read this book when I was 14, and until recent years, I would reread the whole series every year, adding a new book as and … Continue reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K.Rowling
I bought this book after my fave chick-lit author and fellow ex-Doncastrian Lindley Kelk recommended it on her Instagram stories. From the blurb: The things I’ve seen are burned into me, like scars that refuse to fade. Father John controls … Continue reading After the Fire by Will Hill
I read this book last year, and really liked it. This was partly because the main character Wylie suffers from severe anxiety, something I was starting to understand. The sequel The Scattering came out a couple of weeks ago, so … Continue reading The Outliers by Kimberly McCreight
I’ve had one of those weeks when all the books I’ve pre-ordered arrive at once and I don’t know which to read first! I decided to read Day 7, the sequel to last year’s fantastic YA thriller Cell 7. If … Continue reading Day 7 by Kerry Drewery

I went through a phase of buying Alice in Wonderland themed stuff last year – I blame it on Irregular Choice doing a collaboration with Disney shortly after we moved to Llandudno, the home of Alice in Wonderland. I bought … Continue reading Heartless by Marissa Meyer
I finished Rebel of the Sands a while ago, and I had pre-ordered the sequel, but I kept putting off the review. I wanted to love this book, especially after all the hype, but even now, 6 weeks later, I still … Continue reading Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton
