After reading the first book, Shadow House: The Gathering, I moved straight onto the second book without a moment’s hesitation. I HAD to find out what was next in store for our five main characters and I couldn’t wait to see what else the Shadow House had in store for them…
I HAVE BEEN MEANING TO READ THIS FOR SO LONG! I saw this book in my local Waterstones about a year ago when I was at the monthly book club that I attend. The cover drew me to it. It was just creepy. The whole aesthetics of the book was just mind-blowing. There are pictures, the pages are grey. the cover is amazing and there is an app that you can play alongside reading the book. …
This is the first Libba Bray book that I have read (no I haven’t read The Diviners, have you seen the size of my TBR pile?) I’ve heard a lot of mixed things about this book, so I was very intrigued to get to it. A feminist book about beauty queens stranded on a beach? Yes, please. …
I just can’t get enough of these books! If you read my review of Stalking Jack the Ripper, you will know that I absolutely loved it. I was lucky enough to read it at the right time as well because when I finished Stalking Jack the Ripper, Hunting Prince Dracula was to be released five days later, so as soon as it was released, I bought the audiobook and started listening to it straight away.
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… …
As I did for The Northern Lights, I listened to The Subtle Knife on audiobook. I binge-read this trilogy; I just couldn’t get enough of the characters and the story and I was constantly on the edge of my seat. …
I first read this book when I was about twelve and I just couldn’t get into it. It wasn’t the type of book that I liked to read and I remember the size of the book just made reading it so much harder. But I finished it and never even thought about reading the next two. But ten years later, and I found myself returning to the world of Lyra, polar bears, daemons and witches. This time, I listened to it on audiobook (which is also narrated by Philip Pullman), and I found myself engrossed. …
I literally read this book a week ago and I’m struggling to remember what happened so that I can write this review. WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN TO ME! This is what happens when you read so much, you just forget everything. BUT, I can remember that I absolutely loved this book apart from a few tiny tiny things and it was a very nice ending to an amazing quartet. …
What’s that? I’ve actually read a book that has just come out? No, guys, I’m feeling absolutely fine, I just knew that I had to read this book as soon as it was released because I knew that I wouldn’t be able to wait any longer. I’d already had to wait longer than I thought because I thought that the release date for The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue came out on the same date in both the U.S and the U.K. …
It has been so long since I read The Dream Thieves that I had to read spoiler reviews of the book so that I could refresh my memory. When I started reading Blue Lily, Lily Blue, I still couldn’t remember what had happened but as kept reading, I remembered and all of the reasons why I love this series came flooding back. …
