Sunday stack :: January library loans

Every so often I get a bit click-happy on the library website and request a bunch of books. Of course, they all come in at once! These are the books I have out at the moment, some I've picked up because I've seen them recommended, and a couple are for the Read Harder Challenge.  And so now the reading juggle to get through them...

Book club reads :: Rebecca :: Daphne du Maurier

PrevNext
I'm sure no one is surprised to hear that talking about books is one of my favourite things to do! And where better to get your book chat on than a book club with friends?  At the moment I'm part of two book clubs - one with some work friends who are also participating in the Read Harder Challenge - we don't read...

Sunday Stack :: kind of Star Wars-y

So, this is kind of an uninspiring shot of a kind of random stack of books currently hanging out on our dining table. But there is something about piles of books like this that I just love, so I wanted to share it anyway =)   These are mostly books that I got for Christmas (the bottom 5), plus Frankenstein (which I'm reading...

Review :: The Woman in the Window :: A.J. Finn

PrevNext
The Woman in the Window has been getting so much buzz - being called the thriller of the year for 2018, as well as the next 'Girl on the Train'/'Gone Girl'/whatever other thriller with girl in the title. I'm not going to lie - books with girl/woman in the title and written by white dudes are not the first place I'm inclined to...

Review :: The Last Days of Us :: Beck Nicholas

I think I mentioned a few weeks ago that I had been lucky enough to win a couple of books on social media, including winning 7 copies (!!!) of the contemporary #LoveOzYA novel  The Last Days of Us (by Beck Nicholas) to share with my book club (thanks Harlequin Books!). Six months ago, Zoey’s life went off the rails. After the tragic loss...

Sunday Stack :: January TBR

I've been meaning all week to post about my January 'to be read'/reading goals - and my goals for 2018 in general - but it's been trickier than I expected! I've been a bit swept up in the excitement of new release lists and reading challenges - so many amazing reading challenges! To be honest, I've found myself a bit overwhelmed by the feeling...

My 5-star reads of 2017

PrevNext
I wasn't really planning on doing a 'my top 10 books of 2017' or whatever, but I was having a play with the goodreads 'your year in books' and was surprised by how many books I gave five-star reviews to last year, so I thought I'd share them here. Interestingly, these aren't necessarily the books I would choose if I was to pick my 10...
