October 2017 Releases I’m Excited For 

Just like September, October has SO MANY good releases coming out and again, like September, I can’t afford to buy any of them. *goes to cry in a corner* Most of these books are the second books in a series and some of these are the first. Mirror Mirror by Cara Delevigne is one that I’m just curious about… Has she been able to create a brilliant YA novel? We shall see…

Fairy Loot September Unboxing 2017

Welcome back to ANOTHER Fairy Loot unboxing! If you don’t already know, I now also have a YouTube channel where I have also filmed an unboxing as well as writing this blog post. So, for this month, the theme was ‘All That Sass’ and when the theme was announced last month, I genuinely had no clue what the book was going to be, so I was super excited to see what it was and what amazing goodies I would receive in this months box!

Let’s get on with the unboxing… …

The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman

The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman

Like The Northern Lights and The Subtle Knife, I listened to The Amber Spyglass on audiobook where Philip Pullman narrates his own books alongside a full cast. If you’re going to listen to anything on audiobook, I definitely recommend this trilogy because of how well it’s narrated, maybe not due to how good the book is though… …

Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier

Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier

Wow. How have I not read this book before today? Why did I just let this book sit on my bookshelf gathering dust, whilst I took a chance and read 3 stars (or less) books instead? Doing the Gothic module at university has given me the opportunity to read so many amazing books and Rebecca is definitely one of them. …

The Monk by Matthew Lewis

The Monk by Matthew Lewis

Everyone I have talked to who has read this book told me that it was one of the most boring things that they have ever read and that it was a waste of time. I felt quite sad that it was disliked so much, so when I had to read it for the Gothic module at university, I was determined to love it and for it to become my new favourite. After all, someone had to like it, didn’t they? …

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

I can’t believe that I am just getting round to reading this classic novel! I’ve never found the motivation to read it because I thought that it was just going to be another over-hyped classic book, but I was so wrong! I had to read this book for my Gothic module at university so I’m glad that I have finally had the opportunity (and lack of choice!) to read it. …

Dubliners by James Joyce

Dubliners by James Joyce

September’s here which means university – which means I’ve got books to read before I start my second year. Dubliners is one of the ten books that I need to read and so far, we’re not off to an amazing side. Sure, 3 stars doesn’t make it a terrible book, then it’s not great either.  …
