Favourite Books So Far | Jan – Jun 2018

~ Karina Read ~ 4 Comments

I debated with myself about whether I should post this as I haven’t actually had that many ‘wow, this book is AMAZING‘ books. Shocking, right?! Or maybe not. Maybe some years are just stronger than others, I remember struggling to narrow down my top ten reads of 2017 as I had read so many great books but so far, 2018 has been a very average reading year for me. But enough of that, onto some stories I really love. Continue reading “Favourite Books So Far | Jan – Jun 2018” →

I’ve had this post brewing in my brain for a while, and now, finally, after binge reading two urban/paranormal fantasy series in close succession, I’ve decided today is the day. I hope you’re ready.

So this sub-genre of fantasy Continue reading “Urban / Paranormal Fantasy Recommendations” →

Malice by John GwynneSpring is finally here and the pretty, pretty sunshine and blue skies are making my days far more joyful than the constant grey clouds. Although, with the pretty sunshine, my reading has suffered. I’ve been enjoying walking outside during my lunch breaks and evenings rather than settling in with my books.

That said, I do have a few to chat about. The weekend was gloomy after all…  Continue reading “Bookends | 20.04.18” →

Omens by Kelley Armstrong

Hello! Welcome to another of my weekly reading wrap ups. I’m having a really great reading week so far. Work has been mega hectic to I’ve really enjoyed taking time for myself and getting lost in fantastical worlds. Although, I have become a *little* addicted to one series in particular and it’s become rather all-consuming…. Continue reading “Bookends | 13.04.18” →

Veil of Spear by Bradley Beaulieu

Hello, hello, hello 🙂 hope this week’s been good to you and if you’ve enjoyed a lovely four day weekend followed by a four day working week comme moi, I hope it’s been wonderful. If you’ve had to work as normal/more than normal, you are a hero.

My reading week has been a mixed bag, I’ve had two fantastic reads and two very disappointing reads – but the fantastic included my first five star read of the year so you know, without further ado… Continue reading “Bookends | 06.04.18” →

Bookends | 30.03.18

Oh hello four day weekend, you have good timing! I have finally shaken the lurgy that took me down for two weeks – I feel terrible that I didn’t post a Bookends last week, the only one I’ve missed! But even if I had been able to sit  and concentrate for long enough, I wouldn’t have had much to chat about. Turns out I struggle to read when poorly – being sick is actually very boring.

Anyway, I am all better now and I’ve got some great books to discuss from the past fortnight.

I’d seen a lot of hype over Continue reading “Bookends | 30.03.18” →
