I am a HUGE X-Files fan. I was so excited when my husband bought me the complete series on blu ray for Christmas. I got the chance to download the ARC of the updated Complete X-Files book from Netgalley in … Continue reading The Complete X-Files: Revised and Updated Edition by Chris Knowles & Matt Hurwitz
Forget Harry Potter and the Cursed Child the most anticipated sequel of 2016 is Gemina! I was very lucky to win an ARC of Gemina from Rock The Boat a few weeks ago. I was waiting for the end of the month … Continue reading Gemina (Illuminae Files 02) by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman
I’m not going to lie, I bought this book for the cover. It is absolutely stunning. The jacket design is by Natalie Sousa, who also did the cover for Everything Everything, which is another of my favourite covers. From the blurb: For as long as Alice can remember, she has dreamed of Max. Together they have traveled the world and fallen deliriously, hopelessly in love. Max is the boy of her dreams—and only her dreams. Because he doesn’t exist. But when Alice walks into class on her first day at a new school, there he is. It turns out, though, that … Continue reading Dreamology by Lucy Keating
I thinks it’s safe to say that this series probably has the worst book covers everything created. They’re pretty bad. I have known about the series for a while – I think it’s been going for about 7 years now … Continue reading Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while you already know that I heart Lindsey Kelk (see what I did there?). I am pretty much guaranteed to love any book she writes; whether it’s an outing from one of her two series or a standalone novel, they are just so much fun to read. Reading a Lindsey Kelk novel feels like you just spent a few hours setting the world to rights with your best friend. This latest novel is about Liv and Adam, who have decided to take a break from their relationship. From the blurb: Is it … Continue reading We Were On A Break by Lindsey Kelk
Funny story, I have almost bought this book 7 times in the last 12 months! The first time I looked at it was when my husband and I were on holiday last September. I kept picking it up with 2 or 3 other books and then putting it down, for some reason or another. I finally bought it because it was actually signed by the author… or so I thought. We had a bit of a potter, went for coffee (and cake, of course!), and compared purchases. I produced The Rest of Us Just Live Here with a flourish, … Continue reading The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness
A lot of the books I’ve read recently have “Mean Girls” vibes. I’m not sure if this is just because a lot of authors are being published who have taken inspiration from the film, or I’m subconsciously picking them to … Continue reading Winning by Lara Deloza
I bought sooooo many books the last few months, I can’t remember if this was one I saw on YouTube, that Amazon recommended or I just saw and thought ooh that’s a pretty cover. I have a problem people, I … Continue reading The Accident Season by Maria Fowley-Doyle
This book was sent to me in exchange for an honest review. It’s taken me a while to post this review, because I hated the book. I try not to write negative reviews; it has taken someone a long time … Continue reading The Guest Cottage by Nancy Theyer
Tonight we watched In Fear and I tweeted my thoughts whilst I watched. Tom and Lucy are going to a music festival. They’ve been dating a couple of weeks, so Tom told Lucy to invite some friends along. He then booked a hotel for the two of them for the first night, the cheeky scamp. They get lost on the way after a rather odd experience in a local pub. They wait outside for a guide to show them how to get to the hotel, and a knob in a land-rover beeps behind them before driving off. They follow him … Continue reading In Fear
