He seemed, for a moment, a little less like a stranger.” Vanishing Hour – Lisa King After recently reading Lisa King’s debut novel, Vanishing Hour, I was blown away with how perfect it was in every possible way.

Andrew Whittaker – Author Interview

Blind Date – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “That’s the thing about moments. They have the ability to surprise you.” I’ve been so excited to start reading this one for so long – a book written by a fellow Yorkshire lass! I should have known from that little fact alone that I was going to love this story, and thankfully,…
Hot Ash and the Oasis Defect – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “All the grief that made her want to squeeze her eyes and weld them shut forever was being redirected into the molten core of her soul.” I was very pleasantly surprised with this one!

The Latecomers – Book Review
Overall rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “If this sign is carried, one will never lose one’s way in storms or bad weather, even when the way is not known.” This book took me longer than I expected to finish – not because it was boring, uninteresting or didn’t capture my attention, but for the exact opposite reasons. I…
