This was an interesting read in that it really should have been a book I love, but it just wasn’t. I actually really struggled to get through this – and honestly, I normally give up on books that I’m not really enjoying, so I don’t actually know why I… View Post
I read this book last year, so it’s taken me a while to write this, but this was one of those books that I have not stopped thinking about since finishing it. Considering I read it in October, that’s saying something! This is definitely one of my favourite books of all… View Post
A looooong time ago, it was suggested to me that I do this as a feature to look back on books that I read a while ago and never got around to reviewing. I started with The Statisitical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith, and the… View Post
I really enjoyed the majority of this book. The setting, the characters and the general plot were all really fun and easy to read. While this book was quite long, it was an easy, fun read and I got through it quickly enough. Kate McDaid was one the best characters… View Post
As usual, TTT is hosted over at The Broke and Bookish :) I haven’t been doing super well with my reading challenge this year, but that’s mostly due to my annual reading slump. This can occur at any time of the year, for however long. This year it was around… View Post
This made me so mad and sad, as I had been looking forward to reading Sophie Hannah for literally years. I decided to start off with the first book in the series, but almost wished I hadn’t. I’ve read several reviews with people who quite enjoy her books saying that… View Post
This book was one of those truly fantastic psychological thrillers that comes along only very rarely. I devoured this audiobook. It was great to finally end a reading slump I’d been in with such an addictive book. A book that is so annoyingly addictive that it’s almost painful when you have… View Post
May is by far the best month ever. Firstly, it’s my birthday month, which is always great. And secondly, I went to New Zealand this May! It was rad and many books were given to me/purchased in this time. First up, birthday books: … View Post
It’s unfortunately been quite a while since I last posted. I’ve been in a bit of a weird reading mood lately. I keep starting books, enjoying them, but then at the same time, getting bored of them. Then I pick up a new book and the same thing happens. So… View Post
I’m really excited to be joining in on this end of year survey that Jamie at The Perpetual Page-Turner hosts every year. Last year I hadn’t really been blogging long enough to warrant joining in, so I’ve been pretty excited to finally have a go this year! Number Of Books… View Post
Michael Crichton is an author I had heard a lot about but hadn’t ever really thought to read. Luckily for me, Crichton is my partner’s favourite author of all time, ever. I have therefore had the chance to read several Crichton’s with many more awaiting me! Through my partner’s immense Michael… View Post
Hi everyone! This is just a quick post to announce my new blog :) I started over at joyofbooksandtea.blogspot.com and have finally been able to migrate across to a self-hosted WordPress blog! It has been quite an ordeal – and it’s only just beginning! Argh! I certainly am learning a… View Post
I really love it when I come across a book that is truly hilarious. Hilarious in that I have trouble controlling my self whilst reading on public transport. I read this book over a couple of days on the train to and from work, and several times I laughed out… View Post
I read this a few months ago. I should really start getting better at writing reviews closer to the time I finished the book … Hopefully this will happen in the future!This was my first Julia Kagawa book and I must say, I was pretty impressed. I’ve heard about… View Post
The Shadow Fold, a swathe of impenetrable darkness, crawling with monsters that feast on human flesh, is slowly destroying the once-great nation of Ravka. Alina, a pale, lonely orphan, discovers a unique power that thrusts her into the lavish world of the kingdom’s magical elite—the Grisha. Could she be the… View Post
I love it when I can find a good Australia YA novel. I’m not always a fan of Australian fiction, so it makes me really happy when I find something that I loved as much as The Intern. A Devil Wears Prada of sorts, this YA debut really impressed me.… View Post
Top Ten Tuesday time! Hosted over at The Broke and Bookish :) Once again, got a bit delayed and I’m actually posting this on Thursday, so Top Ten Thursday anyone? I just really liked this topic and didn’t want to miss out :) 1. The next Robert Galbraith book. I… View Post
Well, it’s certainly been a while. So to hopefully get myself back into blogging – a TTT! This one was lots of fun :) Top Ten Tuesday’s is a meme created and hosted by those over at The Broke and Bookish 1. Hogwarts. Duh. This is absolutely, one-hundred percent the place… View Post
Top Ten Tuesday time! This is hosted over at The Broke and BookishI haven’t completed a TTT in quite a while, so it’s great to be back! This week I am covering the Top Ten Under-rated Books. I’ve decided to go broad and non-specific here. However, a side note: While… View Post
Last weekend, I went to Book Expo Australia! And it was awesome! A few months ago, I was constantly reading about bloggers who were going to be going to BEA, Book Expo America. I was insanely jealous, to say the least. I did some research to see if there was… View Post
