I wasn’t sure what to expect from What I Like About Me because the synopsis reminded me so much of Dumplin’ by Julie Murphy, with the beauty pageant and body positivity aspects. But What I Like About Me is definitely a vastly different book to Dumplin’. It is very quintessentially Australian and I related to it much more than I related to Dumplin’ because […]
I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump lately due to my busy work and travel schedule so I decided to pick up a cute, fluffy audiobook that could lift my spirits and The Flatshare definitely did the trick. It had depth and explored some hard-hitting themes, but was ultimately cute and romantic. The premise of […]
I love historical fiction, particularly WWII historical fiction, so I couldn’t pass up on The French Photographer. I’ve seen Natasha Lester’s books around but this is the first one I’ve ever read. And I have to say that it was absolutely amazing. The French Photographer is written from dual timelines that alternate throughout the book. It follows […]
The Tiger at Midnight immediately caught my attention with its gorgeous cover. Before I knew it, the writing sucked me in, and after I got to meet the characters, I was thoroughly ensnared in its pages. This Indian-inspired fantasy is full of deceit, secrets, and a game of chase between two morally gray characters. It’s […]
Jennifer E. Smith’s books are always short and sweet, and right up my alley. Except I kinda didn’t really like Field Notes on Love very much. Which is a big deal because I am Jennifer E. Smith trash. Field Notes on Love had a really great concept and definitely inspired a wanderlust in me. It follows Hugo, from […]
Trigger warnings: murder, rape, domestic violence, sexual assault, grief and depression I came across The Black Coats when I was browsing for my next audiobook on Audible. I didn’t read Colleen Oakes’ previous series so this was my first taste of her writing and storytelling… and I have to say that I was pretty underwhelmed by the […]
I adored this author’s debut, BEYOND A DARKENED SHORE. It caught me by surprise with how much I enjoyed it, and it’s a story I would reread time and time again. Because of that, I was quite excited about this companion sequel, THROUGH THE WHITE WOOD. However, I suppose my expectations were too high with […]
The Hating Game was one of my favourite books of 2016 and remains to this day one of my favourite chick-lit books of all time. So 99 Percent Mine had a lot to live up to and unfortunately did not hit the same heights as Sally Thorne’s debut. Although, it had one of my favourite tropes, friends to […]
Jenn Bennett is someone who I know I can always count on for a quick and cute contemporary YA romance that is well-written. While Starry Eyes was probably my least favourite of her novels so far, it was still a really great read. For me, the setting and the plot didn’t really grab me because it’s all […]
