The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

by V. E. Schwab review by Aimee Victoria Schwab has nailed it, again. I was fortunate enough to be given a digital ARC from NetGalley, and I was so excited to receive the confirmation email that I definitely may have squealed a little. I put down the book I was reading (Darkdawn - Jay Kristoff …

The Binding

by Bridget Collins review by Aimee When someone asks for a book recommendation at the library, this is always my immediate choice. It's the kind of book that you'd be mad not to love. It's captivating, enchanting, heartbreaking, and altogether incredible. The Binding is about a boy called Emmett Farmer who apprentices as a book …

The Ghost Tree

by Christina Henry review by Aimee Christina Henry never disappoints. Her usual style is to rewrite fairytales with gruesome, chilling twists. This is an original story. It is creepy and addictive, and has all the things I love about Henry's work, but without the prior knowledge of the story. This really was an adventure, and …

Wanderers

by Chuck Wendig Review by Aimee I started reading this just before the pandemic really kicked off. Not great timing... It is a hefty book, some 800 pages long, and it's very dark, very disturbing, and given it's about a pandemic, very relevant. I read this back in March when the UK was going into …

Ahsoka

by E.K. Johnston review by Aimee It may come as no surprise that I love Star Wars. Ahsoka is easily one of my favourite characters. She's got a badass nature, and always fights for the good. This book is set after the devastation of Order 66 when Ahsoka is on the run from the new …

The ‘NOPE’ Book Tag

I was having a look at some book tags to do, to ease back into posting. I tried to force myself back into posting winter last year, but the timing just wasn't right for me. I think we've all had time to be a bit creative during lockdown (I'm in the UK, so our lockdown …

Book Tag: Reading Habits

I'm gonna get into a regular habit of doing some book tags, because, quite frankly, they're fun. Plus they are content fillers, which means I've got a bit of time to work through my backlog of books that need reviewing. I quite like this tag. It's quite a personal one about reading, which seems only …

Book Tag: Would you rather…?

Aimee is back, b*tches. What better way to celebrate than with a book tag? I'm gonna start putting some more reviews out soon, because I've read a whole wealth of books this year, and most of them have been so so good. So to ease myself back in, I'm gonna do a couple of tags. …

The Autobiography of Jean-Luc Picard

by David A. Goodman review by Emma Jean-Luc Picard, "one of Starfleet's most inspirational Captains", and the subject of some of my favourite memes. This is an absolute must-read for trekkies of any level. If you've ever watched TNG*, you'll remember the extraordinary dynamic that exists between the crew of the Federation flagship, Enterprise with Picard …

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine

by Gail Honeyman review by Emma I wish I could give this book a standing ovation. I finished all nearly 400 pages in 3 days. I haven't read like that since doing my Literature degree. It forced me to experience the full range of human emotions, and I can pin-point the exact pages that had …
