It has been a very long time since a book has held me as enthralled as VOX has done over the last 48 hours. I feel as if I've been on a rollercoaster and as I sit here typing, my emotions are all over the place. It is a novel that is going to stay … Continue reading VOX by Christina Dalcher

July in Review
This is a bit of an overview of the books I've reviewed throughout July (and as I only started my blog in the last week of June, I'll tag that on to this too!).

Little Liar by Lisa Ballantyne
It chills me to the core that there are so many accusations of sexual abuse made today, and it is distressing that in so many cases no charges can be brought due to insufficient evidence. The word of the accused is forever pitted against the word of the accuser. In Little Liar by Lisa Ballantyne, … Continue reading Little Liar by Lisa Ballantyne

Tales from the Warming by Lorin R. Robinson

Global warming is an issue I skirt around the edges of, I hear of it often, but in all honesty, I am confused by it. And I think that goes for many other people. The general population rely … Continue reading Tales from the Warming by Lorin R. Robinson

In all honesty, this novella isn’t something I would have picked up - but, I thoroughly enjoyed it! Short in length, I read this over the course of two evenings, and I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly I got into the story, and how involved I was with the characters by its end. I … Continue reading Angels Can’t Swim by Alexandra McCann
The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart by Holly Ringland
Perusing my local independent book shop, I almost overlooked this book. Why? Because the cover is flowery, and I’m the very opposite of a flowery person. If I can tell a daisy from a daffodil, it’s a good day. The old saying tells us to never judge a book by its cover, and I’m reaping … Continue reading The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart by Holly Ringland
