The Good Things YA fantasy/ sci-fi from one of my favourite author duos. There was more of a focus on the fantasy side in this first book. Really interesting worlds! Loved the lore and magic. And the history!! Fascinating how each culture was different. Also the political intrigue!! I wasn’t expecting that in this book. […]
This is a post I originally planned to post back in October or November last year, but I just never got around to writing. Why? Because it frustrated me. Many of you probably feel the frustrations of trying to be moderately successful on Bookstagram. As much as we tell ourselves the numbers don’t matter, we […]
The Good Things This was such a nice fun read. I’m smiling like a goon after finishing it. It’s a lovely book. Standalone NA fantasy. Little bit of inspiration from Persephone and Hades. Sweet slowburn romance. Luella is a healer/ herbalist! One of my favourite types of MCs. I loved her personality. She’s kind and […]
The Good Things Suspenseful YA thriller by one of my favourite authors. First two thirds is a really intense hostage situation gone wrong. It had me on the edge of my seat! I couldn’t believe how much good plot and character development was squeezed into such a short amount of time. Last part is an […]
The Good Things Guess who has a late addition to their best reads of 2020! Brilliant and addictive standalone NA historical thriller by an Aussie author. Strong Mindhunter vibes (but with more actual crime solving, less of the character’s outside lives). It’s so hard not to just gush about everything. I figured out a few […]
2020 was an excellent reading year for me but it was not a good year for my TBR pile. I read over 390 books last year. Such a high number. Surely that would mean I demolished my 250 book TBR pile? (Yes, you did read that number correctly. It is fairly accurate too…) It should […]
The Good Things Fantastic YA/NA standalone fantasy debut (one MC is 17, the other 23ish). Super interesting world with a nice side of a cursed town (It’s an interesting time to read about pestilence, death, and quarantine haha). Loved the steampunk elements! I was not expecting that so it was a fun surprise. It’s addictive! […]
The Good Things I loved Caddy’s debut, Waer (it’s such a unique YA werewolf fantasy) so was excited to see how she took on pirates! P.S. Aussie author! Did I mention it’s an excellent standalone NA historical about pirates? Specifically Anne Bonny and Jack Rackham, with many more name drops. I thought I knew where […]
The Good things Final book in the Embassy Row trilogy, a YA contemporary/ thriller trilogy. This was what I’d been waiting for in the last two books! Twists and turns, centuries old secrets and deep betrayals! And a lot more death! All my pressing questions have been answered! I finished this in one sitting (more […]
