Page Count: 243 Rating: 5/5 REVIEW It was such a beautiful read and I am glad that I picked it back up after dropping it a while ago. The tale is a depressing one, but it shows how the worst thing that can sometimes happen is absolutely nothing. The trapping and mundane despair of theContinue reading “The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides”

Lost Realms by Thomas Williams
Page Count: 364 Rating: 4.75/5 REVIEW My favourite chapters of this book were of Rheged (which covers where I live) and Fortriu but I enjoyed all of it as I did the author’s other book Viking Britain that I read a while ago. It is hard to write a book where we don’t have muchContinue reading “Lost Realms by Thomas Williams”
Violet bent backwards over the grass by Lana Del Ray
Page Count: 128 Rating: 5/5 REVIEW A non-traditional book of poetry but one that spoke to me nonetheless. I love Lana Del Ray’s music and though her poetry is different, it still held a similar tone and theme that really conveyed a deeper meaning than just the words on their own. It is a trulyContinue reading “Violet bent backwards over the grass by Lana Del Ray”
Vivi Conway and the Sword of Legend by Lizzie Huxley-Jones
Page Count: 353 Rating: 5/5 REVIEW A really interesting premise of a story with an autistic main character chosen to hold Excalibur and defeat a bunch of creatures with her friends. I loved this book and all of the Arthurian and Celtic Myth references within the story and the characters with a fascinating storyline andContinue reading “Vivi Conway and the Sword of Legend by Lizzie Huxley-Jones”
Dungeon Academy -Tourney of Terror by Madeleine Roux
Page Count: 221 Rating: 5/5 REVIEW I really loved this story and the characters that featured within it. I really loved the friendship group and the other characters within the school setting and I loved how the different monsters of DnD were characterised and what their interactions would be. I didn’t realise it was aContinue reading “Dungeon Academy -Tourney of Terror by Madeleine Roux”
Not the end of the world by Hannah Ritchie
Page Count: 299 Rating: 4/5 REVIEW So I made notes throughout my reading of this book which did make the reading journey a lot longer but I’m glad that I did. It was a very interesting read and there were a lot of facts that should be more common knowledge, especially in areas where peopleContinue reading “Not the end of the world by Hannah Ritchie”
Storyland by Amy Jeffs
Page Count: 339 Rating: 4.75/5 REVIEW A really interesting set of folktales that have been used to explain the formation of Britain. The writing style is one that makes the style of the era that these myths date from with their matter-of-fact storytelling and mundane tones explaining what we would class as magical. Jeff’s explanationsContinue reading “Storyland by Amy Jeffs”
Enchantment by Katherine May
Page Count: 222 Rating: 5/5 REVIEW This book is beautiful and really put into words what a lot of people have been struggling through – a loss of enchantment with the world and the book also presents ways in which we can get to that wonder that we all had as children. The places thatContinue reading “Enchantment by Katherine May”
Steeple Chasing by Peter Ross
Page Count: 376 Rating: 5/5 REVIEW I loved this book so much I was almost sad when I finished it. A beautiful journey through the spiritual and religious landmarks of our country. I really enjoyed how it showed that you don’t need to be religious or of the same religion to appreciate their spiritual powerContinue reading “Steeple Chasing by Peter Ross”
