Ahhhh, I have been waiting for this book for so long! After reading (and loving) Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda, and watching the film (and loving that as well), I was eagerly awaiting to join my favourite group of fictional friends again and to see what they get up to.
This has been on my TBR ever since it came out. I was looking forward to reading Before I Let Go, because I enjoyed reading Nijkamp’s other book: This is Where it Ends (which is about a school shooting). After reading the blurb of BILG, it sounded very cliché, but sometimes clichés can be a good thing! So I opened my Kindle app, and started reading… …
The Passion of New Eve was another book that I had to read for my Gender, Sex and Culture class for university. I’m normally a massive fan of Angela Carter’s writing but TPONE was a story that I just couldn’t wrap my head around.
*spoilers ahead* …
I’m am going to be very honest and very brief about my thoughts on this book: I don’t think that I am going to be reading any more of Virginia Woolf’s books. I’ve come to the conclusion that they aren’t for me… Which is a shame because I really do want to love her writing and enjoy her stories, but I just don’t. And I’m not going to force myself to read books that I know that I’m not going to enjoy, there is no point… …
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.
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. …
This is the first Adam Silvera book that I have ever read. I bought it as soon as it came out but I didn’t end up reading it until months and months later because of the hype that was surrounding the book; it just put me off reading it. But now I’ve finally read it, and I can finally share with you all what I thought of History is All You Left Me.
WARNING: MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD …
Wow. Just wow. This book is amazing, educational, heart-warming and heart-breaking all at the same time. If I Was Your Girl is an own voices novel that will stay with me forever… …
