Widowland by C.J. Carey

I requested to read Widowland via Netgalley, my thanks to the publishers, Quercus, for approving my request. This review forms my honest opinion. Blurb To control the past, they edited history. To control the future, they edited literature. London, 1953, Coronation year - but not the Coronation of Elizabeth II.Thirteen years have passed since a … Continue reading Widowland by C.J. Carey →

I went into this expecting something entirely different to what I got......

My Name is Monster by Katie Hale

From the off there is a dizzying sense of unease and unfamiliarity with My Name is Monster. I found myself reading and desperately trying to make this world fit within my own, grasping for something known to me - of course, that is the beauty of dystopian fiction. The taking of what we know and … Continue reading My Name is Monster by Katie Hale →

VOX by Christina Dalcher

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 →

Settling down to an evening with #Flamingo by Rachel Elliott ahead of our monthly online discussion in @themotherloadcommunity #bookclub over on Facebook on Monday night! I was really pleased to be asked to join the #neglectedfaithfuls challenge started by @hook.me.a.book I’ve been keen to read Matt Cain for a while having read rave reviews for Albert Entwhistle from some fellow #bookstagrammers I’ve enjoyed my first #buddyread of the year with The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune. I was a HUGE fan of Friends, I’d watch it but tape it at the same time so I could watch it all over again, I owned all the videos and when videos died a death, I replaced them all on DVD, which still have pride of place on my shelves today. Even now, it’s a rare day when an episode doesn’t get put on the tv. I was invited to take part this year in a group where we all read our #neglectedfaithfuls - books by authors we love but have neglected, or books we’d love to read but have been languishing far too long in the TBR. Tonight at @therabbithole.brigg Reading Group, the first for 2023, we’ll be talking #wearethebrennans by @tracey_lange Happy publication day to @janice.hallett and the fantastic #themysteriouscaseofthealpertonangels This rather lovely journal from @lswmindcards turned up for me - a complete surprise and there was no note but I love it so thank you very much!
