Oh, 2020. You’re hated by so many, including myself, but aside from all the negatives, you’ve also allowed me to read more and find some amazing new authors. For that, I’ll always be thankful! To end the year on a high, I wanted to share something I’ve not yet done in my short reviewing journey…
A Christmas Rescue – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Is Australia to blame for your unhappiness or has stepping away from your old life allowed you to see that the life you had planned isn’t making you happy?” I guess it’s a little bit late to be reading a Christmas book right now, but I never want Christmas to end! If…
A Very COVID Christmas – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Oh bloody hell. 2020 cannot be over soon enough.” I told myself I couldn’t and wouldn’t read anything COVID related, but when I saw that this one was a rom-com, I felt that it couldn’t be that bad and made an exception – I actually rather enjoyed it! I’ve heard a lot…
This I Can Tell You – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “But sometimes we aren’t pretending, sometimes we don’t remember.” It’s been a while since I’ve read any poetry and I definitely feel like I’ve picked up the best book here to get me back into it! I say this is poetry, but it’s equally a memoir, focusing on the author’s fascinating story…

Foul Play – Game Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I think I’ll always have a deep admiration for creators of card games – the immense work involved to get every mechanic and all the different possibilities working just right always seems to impress me!

After Eve – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “You’ve made me see things so clearly. What I lost wasn’t lost at all. I just didn’t know where to find it.” I think ‘excited’ was an understatement when I found out the wonderful JB Lexington’s follow up to Forever Eve was in the works! It’s finally here, and I honestly could…
How Love Actually Ruined Christmas – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I wouldn’t like to assume anything, but my knowledge of these friends suggests to me that if they knew anybody in person who behaved the way most of the characters behave in Love Actually, they would definitely be pulled up on it.” Just fabulous – what more do I need to say?!…
All Down The Line – Book Review
Overall rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “You don’t want to go to war with Billy McGinty. You’ll never win. Never, in a million years.” Another great book from the team at Boomslang Books! The whole journey was so intense, with questions constantly running through your mind from start to finish – just what I love from a book…
The Project – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “That’s why they tell their stories. So that we remember them. They used to be our age and once had dreams and hopes just like we do.” Wow, what an absolute delight this book is! It’s one of the most beautiful, meaningful and touching books I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading,…
